Please ask Rebecca Wright to learn how to pronounce Solomon Tipene's name properly. Ti (te) pen (pin) ne (ne) not nay.
Also note that Maori pausing before speaking is expected and not discouraged nor is it to do with not being aware. Also John Key is appalling in the house, his behaviour is embarrassing and he never has a straight answer or any details of his parties proposed policies. Bread and butter stuff there to. Be careful of your reporting. What is the country thinking if they think National and Act are or will do anything good for the country. make sure your reporting is not one sided in favour of the incumbent.
