From TVOne website:
"The Maori Party co-leader, Pita Sharples, is supporting MP Hone Harawira's comments about Australian Prime Minister John Howard.
Inan interview with Maori Television programme Native Affairs Harwaira called Howard "a racist bastard".
"John Howard is a racist bastard imposing racist policies on a people who are not in a position to fight back - in terms of the Katrina thing - its actually more like Iraq - what he's trying to do in the Northern Territory," Harawira said in the interview.
Sharples says the MP was just voicing what many groups in Australia already think, but the comments are already making headlines across the Tasman.
Australian TV reacted to Harawira's comments, saying he was letting fly at the federal government's intervention."
