He Tension, He Tīmatanga Hou

Reading the recent pieces by Amokura Panoho (Time to Let the Kaupapa Breathe) and Sacha McMeeking (Between Cohesion and Collapse) has left me reflecting deeply on Māori leadership, integrity, and the tension that comes with transformation.

Both wāhine remind us that tension isn’t a sign something is broken — it’s a sign something matters.
The real question is whether we have the tikanga, the maturity, and the integrity to hold that tension without tearing each other — or the kaupapa — apart.

Sacha speaks to the need to design for tension.
She says our movements crumble because we’re not structured to hold paradox — to make room for both the disruptors and the diplomats, the radicals and the realists. When we build systems that can hold disagreement with care, tension becomes creative rather than corrosive.

Amokura takes that kōrero further.
She reminds us that without integrity, even the most righteous cause can lose its mauri. Power without kaupapa corrodes. Leadership without humility silences. Her call to “let the kaupapa breathe” is really a wero to all of us — to return to the moral compass that guided our tūpuna: manaakitanga, whanaungatanga, rangatiratanga, pono, kotahitanga.

Both pieces ask us to grow up as movements.
To stop mistaking loyalty for silence.
To hold each other accountable with aroha, not ego.
And to remember that leadership isn’t about being right — it’s about being tika.

For me, this is what Māori leadership in 2025 must look like:
Courageous enough to challenge, humble enough to listen, and grounded enough to hold the kaupapa steady when the seas get rough.

Tension is not the enemy — ego is.
Integrity is the bridge.

A call to return Te Pāti Māori to its founding values of integrity, accountability, and collective leadership.

✨ Rua i te Horahora ✨
Awareness of the vast expanse of wairua.

Sometimes we get so caught up in the noise of life that we forget to pause and feel the depth of our own spirit. Rua i te Horahora reminds us to open our awareness, to breathe into that vastness, and to reconnect with the wairua that flows through all things. 🌊

He tohu kia noho mārire, kia hono anō ki tō ake wairua me te ao hurihuri.

☀️ Hauora is about balance — mind, body, spirit, and whānau.
Some days it’s a walk in the sun, other days it’s a quiet moment to breathe.
Whatever it looks like for you, make space for it. 💙

Morning reminds us: aroha lives in the simple things — the birdsong, the rising light, the stillness before the day unfolds.
