I don’t know where they got this information from? The only thing Julian ever said about his ancestry is: “I look Māori and feel Māori”  and “Ever since I was young, I’ve grown up in a Maori environment.” )

*(I think that maybe Tammy doesn’t/didn’t know that his mother is part Samoan/Tongan and not Māori. To be fair he looks more Samoan. The Māori can’t come from his dad’s side or he would’ve stated that, besides that his dad looks quite white. His half brother Julian Arahanga does have Māori ancestry and mentioned that they grew up in a Māori community. It could be that Tammy’s mother grew up Maori so considers herself Māori.)
