BliP – given he was repeating points made by Shane Jones in Jones’s speech, do you characterise Jones’s speech in the same way?

The speech is a Tarzan call to the knuckle draggers.

G at 1.12
You draw a long bow when you characterise Grey Power as grumpy about Maori.
This ten year member of Grey Power, and still young at sixty, disputes that. At a recent meeting I heard Goff speak and I sat alongside a racist, whom I know. There are some, as in any grouping, I guess. Goff was not alongside him, in his views.
Try a Grey Power meeting. Listen to the quiet voices.
Goff, I am sure, speaks to many groups. Grey Power are interested to hear political views. I certainly don’t think they were chosen for their ‘redneckedness’ by Goff.

G- I think that Goff was opposed to giving compensation for the ETS because they were full and final settlements, not because he didn’t belive in Maori customary rights. Also in the speech he points out that all maori arn’t being treated equally and that the solutions offered by the Maori Party and National arn’t fair for anybody… That’s quite different from Brash…

Pathetic desperate tactics from Goff. But even worse from Shane Jones. Even Winston Peters would dare stuff like this:
