#Ihumātao is a festering boil that should have been lanced weeks ago by the PM.Instead she led the protesters along with promises of `conversations’ and `leadership’. 🙄A real leader would have fronted and told them it was never going to happen. That’s called honesty.#nzpol
Also @jacindaardern still isn’t at #ihumatao because apparently it doesn’t involve the crown? When has stealing indegenous land NOT involved the crown??
Is the PM taking the taxpayers’ credit card to Turangawaewae today to make the #Ihumātao problem go away?

| 24/08/2019 | anawaru | On Police 10-7 the other week the Popo pulled up a car stolen a few years back that had been on-sold. The Cop said I know you didn’t steal it, but never the less it has to go back to the original owner. Seems logical, moral and well, just tika, aye? #ihumātao much? | 95 | 27 |

| 22/08/2019 | hamishpricenz | The PM took her entire family halfway across the world in New York to address 20 people at the United Nations. Yet she couldn’t even bother to turn up to her own office to meet 200 #ihumātao protesters. My worry is she’s not taking her job seriously. #nzpol https://t.co/zZG0MN2hu2 | 90 | 24 |
| 22/08/2019 | hamishpricenz | The PM changed her diary to make sure she is in Wellington today to avoid the #ihumātao hikoi. Despite being in town, she is still wagging Question Time in Parliament. #nzpol #nzqt | 79 | 25 |

| stephenjacobi | I visited #Ihumatao yesterday with @StMatthewsNZ – we were very warmly welcomed despite the rain. I know the issues are complex but it seems to me that injustice upon injustice has been visited upon the mana whenua and this needs to be stopped. | 40 |
| haydenrichesnz | Loads of time for expensive trips to the middle of nowhere yet no time to go to a protest near her own electorate for a day. If she wasn’t even able to visit the site, she shouldn’t have thrown herself into the middle of the debate. #nzpol #ihumātao | 25 |

| democracymum | Jacinda Ardern has said she had NO INTENTIONS to go to #Ihumātao Also Ardern: 🤔 “I will be there for those hard conversations. I AM THERE…” Seems like the leader of our country speaks with a mighty large forked tongue. 👅 #nzpol #hypocrite #weakpm | 48 |
| nzheadliner | If Jacinda Ardern announces at 2pm today that the govt will buy Ihumātao land off Fletchers – What legal action can the NZ people take? #nzpol #ihumatao | 28 |
| jamesstringer2 | I’ve just driven passed the #Ihumatao protesters on SH20 north of Mangere Bridge. Less than 100 people, a few waving Maori flags. There is a WINZ office in Three Kings they can collect their dole payments on the way to #parttimePM Jacinda’s office 🙀😂 #nzpol | 24 |
| jacindaardern_0 | Little A has just asked me to fix the H&S problem at Pike River. The Maori King and I will visit the mine next week and discuss changing the safety concerns of the Two Exit rule. #pikeriver I’m sure with a it’s of dialog we can screw it up just like Ihumatao. #ihumātao #nzpol | 20 |

| dallasbarnett3 | Here’s the thing; If I buy a car that was stolen many years ago, with no knowledge of it being stolen, and the original owner finally tracks it down, they have the right to reclaim their stolen property #Ihumatao | 4 |
