Hone Harawira - a man of mana and leadership


Hone Harawira the maori party MP is leading from the front.

"Maori Party MP Hone Harawira has proposed a novel way to cut his travel costs - he will hitch-hike around his electorate."

“It’s not a big deal, I’ve been doing it for the last three years,” he told Radio New Zealand.

He said that by travelling this way he would run into people that he would not otherwise meet and it allowed him to relax and “enjoy the day”.

“You get into a car and sooner or later they’ll start talking to you about the issues that are important to them.”


He said it was the best way to talk to people about what was important."

I wish more MP's were like Hone. It would be a very quick way for MP's to gauge how they are going. But of course many MP's don't really want to know that... unless it is election year.

Good on you Hone - a true leader and man of mana.
