    5:17 When a woman has to resort to attacking a man's gender and age, you know she's already lost the debate.
  • @user-ek1sq3bj4z
    Shane Jones totally outplayed Debbie & that so called journalist.
  • @dreinhard52
    Debbie just proved Shanes point , straight into name calling and victim hood !
  • @WiremuRanginui
    'When people get used to preferential treatment, equal treatment seems like discrimination.'
  • @zerotree1310
    Is Debbie's best response to call Shane an old sexist bully and then accuse him of making it personal? disgraceful conduct.
  • @taliaware1110
    Shane jones even had offensive things said about him towards his own whakapapa and he still stayed calm...respect bro
  • @danfrost3043
    I'm confused! As a White New Zealander what to Maori not get that I get? What are they not entitled to that I'm entitled to? What rights to they not have that I have? Everyone is struggling, what about all the other cultures in New Zealand, you don't see them constantly whining, protesting, causing disruption and screaming Racism at every turn. They need to get over themselves.
  • @JT-oo7sd
    Surely the interviewer should take a neutral stance.
  • @Fraaank41
    Within 5 seconds and the mention of democracy, Debbie is rolling her eyes. Pathetic.
  • I'm Maori and I am not offended by this governments plans. In fact I agree with most of what this government plan on doing. Don't act as though you speak for me Debbie with your 2.5% vote which assuming only Maori voted for, would account for only 14% of Maori!
  • @geefreek
    Save some victim cards for the rest of us. she pulled the woman and Māori card. Should be a limit of 1 per customer
  • Hold the line Shane you doing a great job , as a New Zealander with Maori roots I’m with you on this , the media and the lefties will kick up a stink but our country is on the line , it’s crazy how a few radicals hold the country to ransom
  • @robertgrant4609
    Shane Jones makes a good point about victimhood not being a good kaupapa to base a political movement on. Then immeadiately out comes the im a women and your victimising me response. . . Very telling. . . Shane Jones is the most commonsense politician ive heard. A real gem, glad he is in government.
  • @haweavivian48
    Amazing that TV1 haven't turned the comments off. They don't usually like public opinion.
  • @pietdebeer7972
    Could the presenter try to hide her bias a bit better?
  • @Clubs_88
    Well done shane we actually want a non racist devisive nation
  • Why does she keep rolling her eyes like that? Very immature behaviour on Debbie's part.
  • Isn't it amazing that she makes the assumption that no Maori voted for this government or for NZ First. Wow, she thinks she represents all Maori. Such arrogance.
  • @jpinnz2803
    A 'male standing over and bullying Debbie' - WTF???? As soon as she said that she lost this debate.
