Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Ko te Pirimia a Tony Abbott kua whakawakia e nga kaiarahi Irish i tapaina tana korero ataata mo te Ra o St Patrick hei 'patriotic'. I kii a Mr Abbott ko te ra o St Patrick he 'ra nui mo nga Irish... me tetahi atu e hiahia ana ki te haere mai ki tetahi huihuinga', a koinei te 'ra kotahi o te tau ka pai ki te matomato,' i roto i te riipene ataata i whakairihia ki te whaarangi YouTube o te Pāti Liberal. 'Koinei te aroha ki te ora me te ahuareka kua hoatu e te Irish ki Ahitereiria,' ka haere tonu ia. Ka rite ki a koe e kite ana, kua mau i ahau toku here matomato mo te take. Kua whakawakia a Tony Abbott mō tana karere 'patronising' o te rā o St Patrick. 'Kua kīia nā te Ingarihi ngā ture i hanga, nā te Puka i hanga te moni, nā te Pākehā i hanga ngā waiata,' e ai ki a Mr Abbott i roto i te ataata. 'Kua kīia, nā te Ingarihi ngā ture i hanga, nā te Pākehā te moni, nā te Pākehā ngā waiata.' E ai ki te Irish Times, i kī tētahi kaipakihi nō Īrihi i Ahitereiria, he 'whakaaro' te karere a te Pirimia. 'I tūmanako ahau kia nui ake te karere pakihi i roto i te ataata i hangaia mo nga mahi pakihi,' ka mea ia. 'He maha ngā kōrero pai o ngā tāngata o Ireland e mahi ana i Ahitereiria, he mea whakamiharo te kore mōhio o Mr Abbott ki tētahi o aua mea.' I tukuna te riipene ataata ki te Irish Australian Chamber of Commerce me te Lansdowne Club kia purei i nga whakanui o te Ra o St Patrick, engari e kii ana kaore tetahi o nga taha e whakaatu. I kii te Karapu Lansdowne kaore i taea te kimi waahi i runga i te raarangi o te ra hei whakaatu i te riipene ataata 70 hēkona. 'I tūmanako ahau kia nui ake te karere pakihi i roto i te ataata i hangaia mo nga mahi pakihi,' i kii tetahi kaipakihi Irish ki te Irish Times. I tukuna te riipene ataata ki te Irish Australian Chamber of Commerce me te Lansdowne Club kia purei i nga whakanui o te Ra o St Patrick, engari e kii ana kaore tetahi o nga taha e whakaatu. Ko te Kaiwhakahaere Matua o te Irish Australian Chamber of Commerce a Barry Corr i kii ko te riipene ataata he 'korero mo te ra o St Patrick's Day' a 'i runga i taua turanga ehara i te waahanga o te kaupapa'. Neke atu i te 2000 ngā tāngata kei...
I puta mai te Pirimia a Tony Abbott i roto i te karere ataata i runga i YouTube. I tukuna atu e Liberal ki te Irish Australian Chamber of Commerce me te Lansdowne Club engari kaore ano kia whakatangihia i te ra o St Patrick. E ai ki nga korero, i riri nga kaiarahi pakihi o Ireland i te kore e whakahua i nga pakihi. 'He mea whakamiharo te kore mōhio o Mr. Abbott,' i kī tētahi kaipakihi.
