This is a biography of Hide. It's a place to explain his political viewpoint, but not really a place to debate it. Critical views of Hide are welcome, but they must be cites from print sources or a reputable web site (not a blog).- gadfium 19:33, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Saying "Rodney opposes Maori representation" is a loaded statement. The same goes for if one said "Rodney is opposed to Maori getting more representation than other NZ citizens". The only way to give a wikipedia article entry is from a neutral standpoint. "Rodney opposes the allocation of reserved Maori seats" is the description of the actual act, not the ideas behind it, so is the only suitable description in this case. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lagwagon555 ( talk • contribs) 05:51, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
In response to 'Maori representation means specific allocated reserved Maori seats. Let's not use verbosity to say so', this is certainly not clear. 'Maori representation', interpreted literally, means that Maori are represented on the council. If it meant the allocation of reserved seats, then non Maori, by your definition, would not be represented on the council. In order to avoid any confusion, I think it is worth adding two more words to the article, to explain the nature of what is meant by 'Maori representation'. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lagwagon555 ( talk • contribs) 08:25, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
I have found several references to Rodney Hide being a climate-change skeptic, which I feel is interesting and controversial aspect to Rodney.
Act leader Rodney Hide said climate change and global warming was a hoax. “The data and the hypothesis do not hold together. Al Gore is a phoney and a fraud on this issue and the emissions trading scheme is a worldwide scam and a swindle"
Do others feel that these comments belong in his Wikipedia article? GrantB ( talk) 02:38, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
The NBR report of his comments in Parliament is a suitable source. I have recently reverted attempts to post material on this by a user who provided incorrrect references, and then included quotations that did not appear in the reference, but the only problem I can see in the most recent additions is that the material too closely paraphrases the NBR article. There is surely a median ground where we quote what he said accurately without infringing on the NBR's copyright.- gadfium 19:35, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
I've removed an old neutrality tag from this page that appears to have no active discussion per the instructions at Template:POV:
Since there's no evidence of ongoing discussion, I'm removing the tag for now. If discussion is continuing and I've failed to see it, however, please feel free to restore the template and continue to address the issues. Thanks to everybody working on this one! -- Khazar2 ( talk) 00:32, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
Section = 109 BLP articles labelled "Climate Change Deniers" all at once. This article was placed in a "climate change deniers" category. After discussion on
WP:BLPN and
WP:CFD the category was deleted.
