Firebrand MP trades email insults

A politician from New Zealand's Maori Party is in hot water after he sent an expletive laden email to a kiwi voter.
Maori Party MP Hone Harawira has been under fire for skipping part of a taxpayer funded trip to Brussels so he could go sightseeing in Paris.
When Mr Harawira received an email from a member of the public, which criticised him and contained swear words, he fired one back.
He wrote: "White motherf****ers have been raping our lands and all of a sudden you want me to play along with their puritanical bullsh**."
New Zealand Prime Minister John Key says the language is deeply offensive.
"Hone is known for being a bit of a firebrand," he said.
Mr Harawira ended his email by saying "quite frankly I don't give a sh** about what you or anyone else thinks about it. Ok?"
He told the voter he did not care if he went to the media.
