| Tari-Pori MP James Marape addressing his people last Sunday. |
He said any time there was trouble, Taris would inevitably be blamed, although these were caused by people from other parts of the country.
"Any time something happens at Gordon Market, they say it's Tari," Marape said.
"Any time something happens at Malaoro (Market), they say it's Tari.
"At 9-Mile, they say it's Tari.
"Many times, other people cause trouble, and they say it's caused by Taris.
"I recently had an argument with a Papuan lady on Facebook who said Taris had caused trouble at Kila-Mahuru.
"I found out that it was not caused by someone from Tari."
Marape said "Tari" covered a large area.
There are three electorates in Hela:Tari-Pori, Koroba-Lake Kopiago and Komo-Margarima .
Tari people are also related to the Nipas of Southern Highlands, Kandeps and Porgerans in Enga.
"Recently , a Chimbu youth was caught pick-pocketing in Garden Hills," Marape said.
"He was telling everyone that he was a Tari.

" I want to tell the rest of the country that we do fight sometimes, but I am proud to say that my people are very hardworking people
"I have been an MP for more than 10 years but no one comes and disturbs me at my house at Boroko-East.
" They sell buai, work as security guards or sell at tucker boxes.
"We only get together when there is a haus krai or other trouble.
" I'm proud to say my people are hardworking people, my people are Industrious people, my people are good people.
"It's sad that Government has not delivered services for a long time, which has seen our people looking for schools and hospitals all over PNG, including Port Mores by.
" Every time I meet them, I talk to them about good ways of living, how we can relate to Papuans, Tolais, Keremas and the rest of the country.
"When the earthquake disaster occurred, people from all corners of Papua New Guinea helped us.
" They brought food, clothing, water and money.
"That is why we have to learn to live together and respect each other.
" If you chew buai, spit the buai where it is supposed to be spat.
"If you have rubbish, throw it in the rubbish bin.
" If a woman wants to get on the bus, let her get on first.
"We Huli people are traditionally very good people, but in between, some of us have gone off a bit."
