No - it is not because you are Maori

It is because you and your odious wife are thiefs. Blockhead Wi Huata tried to play victim today on behalf of his bride:

Huata told the Herald last night that he and his wife, both convicted last year on fraud counts, were being victimised.

"The moment a Maori gets into that field of leadership it comes as a hefty price. Donna was not the first Maori to go through this and certainly won't be the last."

She stole public funds mate. She got caught. So, she got done - and rightly so.

The reason she is so widely vilified is that she refused to take responsibility for her actions and instead tried to play 'the race card'. You do Maoridom no credit - more importantly - you are not helping.
