Shane Jones is the most disappointing of all the Māori MPs, the way he was raised, he should know better.
Surprisingly, Shane Jones wasn't always a bloated, arrogant cooker.

The group opposed to the fast-tracking of Santana's proposed Bendigo-Ophir mine is holding a fundraiser on 31st January. Sam Neill and Grahame Sydney are guest speakers.
That's upset the Minister of Masturbation Shane Jones, who believes Central Otago is a barren wilderness crying out for mining by offshore companies.
Now we have a Sam Neill vs Shane Jones spat, wherein the former refers to the latter as a "mini Trump wannabe."
Watch this space.
Central Otago mayor Tamah Alley takes issue with Shane Jones' claim that the region was ripe for mining because it's "largely empty". Her response?
"Largely empty is not available everywhere."
Even a stopped clock is right twice a day ...
"No one will be any doubt that the days of treating energy prices as a private commodity and expecting the market to save New Zealand jobs and regional New Zealand, that type of folly in our view, has run its course."

The solution though is not fast tracking more coal and gas, but taking advantage of how easy and cheap it is to decentralise renewables compared to building thermal generation.
