Samoan Community Looking beyond Labour Party
''
While Labour Party politicians may feel that they can continue to count on the vote and support of the Samoan community, there is a growing feeling of anger which many chiefs and orators feel against Labour leader Helen Clark and the way she has dealt with Taito. Samoan leaders are also questioning seriously the taking for granted of their vote by the Labour Party. The gesture of good will and support given to Taito by the Maori Party was not dismissed as some in the media might like to think. Should Maori feel that they can and would like to conduct solid and meaningful relations with the Samoan leaders, the cultivation of their Polynesian bond and connection could prove to be a powerful potential to develop for answering some of the common challenges that Pakeha society throws out to Maori and Pacific people often.''''
As it is, this is unsourced opinion and inappropriate because essentially it is editorial-type comment.  But perhaps this should be discussed here and some compromise achieved, with, say, some quotes on both sides of the issue.  Not all Samoan leaders support Philip Field and this should probably be reflected in the entry, if indeed any of it is appropriate.  I have reproduced the comments in full here so there can be a proper discussion. Kiwimw 18:18, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Know a lot of blondes from Nigeria? That's clearly in Melanesia somewhere (the Solomons maybe). Also the wreaths, and the lack of New Zealand government contacts with Africa in general, and Nigeria in particular.115.188.173.66 (talk) 13:14, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: The same picture (:File:Ian and blackys.jpg) is used at Max Bradford and Ian Revell. Edits made to the caption at the former by an editor who may be Max Bradford himself place it in Vanuatu in 1991. That seems a little early for Field, as he became an MP in 1993. The picture was uploaded to Wikimedia commons in 2008 by an editor who claimed it was self-made, but only in low resolution, and with no description, but he did add a caption at Ian Revell reading "Ian on a recent trip to Nigeria". A different editor added the caption as used here to commons almost a year later. Neither editor seems to still be active. The picture does not appear anywhere on the web other than on Wikipedia and clones, and I have been unable to find any other source relating to it, so we may not be able to get an accurate description.-gadfium 22:48, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
