Tariana Turia had this to say:-
Mrs Turia labelled Mr Goff's comments "bloody patronising behaviour" and said he was scaremongering to try to derail the agreement process.
"He's trying, once more, to frighten our people into saying we should sit with Labour," she said.
"Well, Labour didn't even invite us to sit with them in the last government and our people are sick and tired of being told what to do. He should stick with rebuilding the Labour Party instead of trying to dismantle others."
and
"People know Labour took the seabed and foreshore away from them. They also know that while Labour goes and loudly tells our people everything they do for them, the most empowering opportunities have come from National governments."
She said kohanga reo, kura kaupapa and progress in health and social services all came from National."
Hone Harawira had this to say:-
"There have been more positive approaches from National in the past three days than from Labour in the past three years. He says he does not “give a stuff” what Labour’s position is. (Kiwiblog)
A spokesman for John Key had this to say:-
"We are looking at forming a government and we don't really care what Phil Goff has to say. It's patronising, isn't it?"

Now that's Cullens attitude and shouldn't be ours.
JK's "That's patronising is perfect".
John Key should be commended for the way he has changed our economic and political future.
He has helped lure the Maori Partyy away from Liarbore.
He is also giving the Maori Party and the Maori People a chance to prove themselves.
We have had dependency and bleating for far too long.

That would be 3 strikes then. He's IN!!
They just can't cope with the fact that someone is prepared to let their little brown mushrooms out of the cupboard.
Mrs T and JK are wrong. This isn't patronism. Its actually racisim. Its the notion that these 'simple brown faces' are Liarbore's children and are incapable of thinking for themselves. Its the same lofty psuedo intellectual arrogance that has characterised the last nine years. Phugoff and his dreadful little cronies are simply resentful that after supplying their river of our cash, their little 'brown children' have deserted them. They can't accept that the MP want something more than a handout.
They have been so bound up in the perception that they have a devine right to rule that they simply haven't stopped to reflect upon what's going on around them.
In that respect, there are some interesting parallels with the Nats of the '70s/'80s.
Fortunately Liarbore's History Professor, author of a book entitled so as to guarantee that no one would ever pick it up, is so consumed with the right to rule and preoccupied with 18th century society, that he couldn't see this coming.
Whatever comes of this, no one can say that they didn't give each other a chance. That hasn't happened since 1840.
