dazza @dazzabrazza

Is Mahuta going to offer different policies? Or will in be more systemic/institutional sexism and racism? More 3rd way neoliberalism?

BestestLeftist @aaronincognito

Good on Nanaia Mahuta. The Labour circus will have at least one non- white male

 

Michele A'Court @MicheleACourt

But... Not a middle aged white man! WTF?! Excellent.

              

Hamish Price @hamishpricenz

The cunning plan of Labour's also-rans: stick your name in ballot so you're guaranteed front-bench spot when you lose.

 

Graeme Edgeler @GraemeEdgeler

@LewSOS conservative South Auckland Labour Party supporters will never something something.

 

Dene Mackenzie @mackersline

Maiki Sherman @MaikiSherman

Nanaia Mahuta has confirmed to me she is standing for the Labour Party leadership. Call was made after discussion at today's Maori caucus.

 

Laura McQuillan ‏@mcquillanatorz 

Mahuta is nominated by Louisa Wall and Su'a William Sio - all three are Camp Cunliffe

 

Carys Goodwin ‏@cgoodwin23

Andrew Chen @andrewmeows

Is Labour going on the policy that all media coverage is good media coverage?

 

Mark Hubbard @MarkHubbard33

Thank goodness. I constantly blogged that it was not good enough women of Labour wanted quota when never prepared 2 put hand up to contest.

 

Phil Quin @philquin

Anyone who wants to run should run. Bring it on.

 

Heath duPlessisAllan @hdpaNEWS

The Labour Party wants 'a fair go for everyone'. That's why everyone in caucus is standing for leader.

 

Reed Fleming @reedfleming

Will Cunliffe still support Andrew Little or ditch him for a loyalist?

 

Jordan McCluskey @prinnbanktce

If you're from the Waikato you know that Nanaia and her family have huge mana in Māoridom. De facto leader of Labour's Māori caucus.

 

Stevie Jepson ‏@steviejnz 

hope Nanaia gets support from everyone in labour who is sick of seeing white guys at the top everywhere forever

 

Barry Soper @barrysoper · 

Nanaia Mahuta to contest Labour leadership, the Cunliffe faction's alive and well!

 

Laura McQuillan @mcquillanatorz · 

Mahuta is in - adds to the diversity of the contest but who will her supporters be?

 

Toby Manhire @toby_etc

Are the people saying "Nanaia Who? This is ridiculous!" the same people who've been saying Labour needs a fresh face as leader?

 

Toby Manhire @toby_etc · 

A guess: Nanaia Mahuta decided to stand after hearing David Shearer on Paul Henry Show and Morning Report

 

Jordan McCluskey @prinnbanktce · 

Thank god it wasn't another white man.

 

Kate Newton @katenewtonnz · 

Nanaia Mahutu was standing next to David Cunliffe yesterday when he bowed out of the race and endorsed Andrew Little.

 

Chris Keall @ChrisKeall · 

Did any of the half billion or so posts on the Labour leadership race predict Nanaia Mahuta's entry?

 

Lew @LewSOS · 

Nanaia Mahuta to stand. Labour party bigots, start your engines.

 

Philip Matthews @secondzeit · 

Nanaia! But with a middle-aged white guy as deputy, we hope.

 

 

Maiki Sherman @MaikiSherman

 

Nanaia Mahuta soon to make an announcement...standby for action...
