Still no jobs ten years later. 😢

Some comments below wreak of jealousy. No matter where the money comes from, if people have a decent house and appreciate it, it could just start the next generation off on a better footing, and while Ive had to work for every penny, I paid for my own house, never on a high income. Im aware not all can do that, or have access to the commencement opportunity to to income circumstances, and NZ society needs to develop a better pathway to equity, for many, not just Maori, so I don't begrudge others good fortune if it helps those who need it. Im even willing to help pay for it. Appreciative happy people they are, - and if we can get people off the ''eternal crisis' where they are just thinking of survival to being able to make a positive contribution without having to immediately worry about survival, we are all the better for it because it will make our society happier and more productive. I say well done to those who have thought laterally and made it happen.

Don’t forget us. The sub groups rounded up into subjectivity to the Monarchs nearly two thousand years ago. We been fighting for the same freedoms and return to culture for a loooooong time. We look the same as them….but we are definitely not them. Don’t forget us, because we have loooooooooong memories.

"Everyone knows when to sing and how to pray", in that alone holds the culture values of the future.

Like all other Māori activists, the Māori activists of the Rongowhakaata iwi (tribe) in the Gisborne region of New Zealand, are 'con artists' who are deceiving and lying to the non-Maori citizens of New Zealand. Whilst it is true that the Te Hau-ki-Tūranga meeting house belonged to the Māori Rongowhakaata iwi (tribe) in the Gisborne region of New Zealand, and it is true that the Te Hau-ki-Tūranga meeting house was confiscated by the New Zealand Government in 1867, the reason for the confiscation of the house, and the land belonging to the Rongowhakaata tribe, was perfectly ‘lawfully and justifiably’ because the confiscations were in response to the unprovoked violence of the Māori Rongowhakaata tribe against other Māori tribes. The New Zealand government warned the offending Māori tribes that if they did not stop their attacks and violence (which included cannibalism) against other Māori tribes, the government would confiscate their land. Despite repeated warnings to the offending Māori tribes, and legislation that authorized the confiscations of land from the murderous and violent Māori tribes, the Māori tribal wars continued. The Māori tribal wars included killing, enslaving, raping women and girls of any age, and 'feasting' (i.e. cannibalizing) the Māori victims. Therefore, confiscation of land from these murderous Māori tribes was perfectly 'lawful' (i.e. in accordance with the law), and justified. Because the confiscations of land from certain murderous Māori tribes was in accordance with the law and perfectly justified, the reparations by the New Zealand Government (i.e. New Zealand taxpayers), for the confiscation of land from the Māori was based on lies by Māori activists, and should not have been done! Moreover, the Māori Rongowhakaata tribe was NOT indigenous to the Gisborne region of New Zealand, but came from the northern part of the North Island of New Zealand, and invaded the lands of the Māori who inhabited the Gisborne region of New Zealand. The invasion of the Gisborne region by the Maori tribe included unprovoked genocidal murder, cannibalism, enslavement, rape of Māori women and girls of any age, and other heneius acts of savagery. I repeat for emphasis: Contrary to the false narrative that land was 'indiscriminately' and 'unlawfully' confiscated from the Māori by the New Zealand Government, the land was confiscated from 'some' Māori tribes in accordance with law, and for a perfectly valid reason. Specifically, the confiscations of land and property by the New Zealand Government were in response to the unprovoked killing and violence of certain Māori tribes against other Māori tribes, which included enslavement, rape of women and girls of any age, and also included widespread cannibalism of Māori victims. An example of unprovoked Māori tribal violence is the Musket Wars (1806 - 1845), which resulted in the killing and cannibalizing of more than half of the Māori population in New Zealand, which at that time was estimated to be around 100,000 Māori. These wars included the unprovoked genocidal invasion and enslavement of the peaceful Moriori natives on Chatham Islands (Moriori: Rēkohu), by members of the Māori Ngāti Mutunga tribe and Māori Ngāti Tama tribe, both from mainland New Zealand, which began in 1835 and ended in 1863 only because of the intervention by the New Zealand Government. The violence of the Māori, which included indiscriminate killing, cannibalism, kidnapping and enslavement, rape of Māori women and girls of any age, etc, was part of the Māori ‘tikanga’ (custom or culture), which was practiced well before the arrival of Captain Cook in 1769, and contunied until it was brought under control to the greatest extent practicable by the British 🇬🇧. Therefore, the Māori tribal violence, which included indiscrminant and unprovoked killing, enslavement, raping of women and girls of any age, and cannibalism, was normative among the Māori well before the arrival of Captain Cook in the year 1769, and was not in any way whatsoever caused by the British immigrants. The Māori custom of 'utu' (revenge or reciprocation), was deeply ingrained in the Māori ‘tikanga’ (custom or culture), and was mitigated to the greatest extent practicable by the British 🇬🇧 who promoted forgiveness, love, peace, tolerance, etc. These concepts were foreign to the Māori prior to the arrival of the British 🇬🇧 to New Zealand. The Māori ‘tikanga’ (custom or culture), also included the trading of captive slaves and trading the smoked heads of slain enemies, which was abhorrent to the British 🇬🇧, and had to be abolished by the New Zealand Government. The Māori activists are very good at telling about the ‘supposed’ injustices to their savage ancestors by the New Zealand Government, but not so good at telling the ‘reasons’ for the ‘supposed’ injustices. Contrary to the current highly false narrative that colonization by the British 🇬🇧 was unjust and oppressive for the Māori, the truth of the matter is diametrically opposite to the deception and lies that is promoted by the Māori activists and their uninformed supporters who should be grateful for the arrival of the British 🇬🇧 to New Zealand, and the benefits that that has brought to the Māori. The colonization of New Zealand by the British 🇬🇧 is the best thing that has happened to the Māori in terms of life expectancy, health and wellbeing, safety and security from fellow Māori, civility (cf. savagery), morality (cf. gross immorality), education and knowledge (cf. ignorance and superstition), opportunity for material wealth and prosperity, etc, etc, etc. Like all other Māori activists, this Māori activist-reporter is a 'con artist' who is not telling the 'whole truth' to the people of New Zealand, but in many instances is telling blatant and outright lies, or is distorting facts (i.e. misrepresenting facts), or is omitting to tell facts (i.e. lying by omission). It's well past time for all people of New Zealand to wake up to the truth about the evil nature of the violent and savage Māori culture and history.

The world is moving away from gas and oil at a huge rate. Anyone investing in this, is either after a quick $$$ or poorly informed on the trending market.

News from the Rotorua Daily Post: "Child, 2, dies after Rotorua driveway accident, family member steals from doctor trying to save child's life." As hospital staff tried to save the life of a 2-year-old boy run over in a Rotorua driveway, a family member swiped a doctor's two phones and a bank card and went on a spending spree. The child died a short time later but Melissa Herewini (A MAORI) had already taken the bank card to four stores in Rotorua and bought alcohol, food, petrol, phone credit and cigarettes. News 24 headline: "Shock over Maori infant brutality" They have been scalded, burned with cigarettes, raped, had bones broken and been beaten unconscious, sometimes to death. Horrific cases of Maori youngsters - some under two years of age - being tortured, abused and KILLED BY MEMBERS OF THEIR OWN FAMILIES Among the grisly headlines that have dominated the nation's media over recent weeks are stories of a 28-month-old Maori girl in a coma after suffering severe head injuries, a broken arm, cuts, bruises and cigarette burns over most of her body. The toddler's 52-year-old grandmother was being held in prison on assault charges. Police in the central North Island town of Carterton are investigating the death a week ago of 23-month-old Maori girl Hinewaoriki Karaitiana-Matiaha who was sexually abused, scalded with hot liquid and beaten before being taken to hospital by relatives. The child, who was put in the care of her grandmother by the Child, Youth and Family Service after consultations with the toddler's family just short of her second birthday, was dead on arrival at Masterton Hospital late on Sunday, July 23. And last week, a coroner in the east coast town of Tauranga found that two-month-old Marcus Te Hira Grey died from a brain haemorrhage following a severe beating by his father. These cases follow the recent release of a report into the gruesome killing last April of four-year-old James Whakaruru, beaten to death by his stepfather for failing to call him Dad. The stepfather had been jailed once for assaulting the boy, but the youngster endured a lifetime of horrific beatings, despite being under the eye of various child welfare agencies, and his hellish existence went unnoticed. The proportion of extreme cases of brutality towards children among the Maori population - which makes up about 15 percent of New Zealand's 3.8 million citizens - is far higher than for any other ethnic group. New Zealand Hearald news headline 29 May, 2024 “Raglan man Simon Terence Hamiora Kereopa drags partner outside naked, pours boiling water over her“ Kereopa ( A MAORI) dragged her outside through the kitchen door by her arms, down the kitchen steps and onto the ground. He then grabbed the kettle, which was just inside the door, and poured the boiling water over the victim - who was naked at the time - directly onto her skin. As he did so, Kereopa told her “you deserve it, and that’s what you get”. He then told her he would reboil the jug and pour it on her face. She ran to seek help from her sister but she was asleep, before running into her daughter’s room and hugging her. Kereopa then went into the room and said, “once you let go, I’m burning your face”. Judge Stephen Clark noted Kereopa’s 17 family violence convictions, eight of which were against the current victim. The man responsible, Simon Terence Hamiora Kereopa, was today jailed for the incident, his ninth conviction against the victim during their 20-year-plus relationship. New Zealand Hearald News 14 Apr, 2024: During a torturous and prolonged night of violence, William James Whata (A MAORI) held his partner down and shoved his fist down her throat with such force that he broke her jaw. The attack came after the 48-year-old had tried strangling his partner multiple times. By the time emergency services arrived, the woman was discovered with numerous injuries including visible damage to her jaw. Now, Whata has been jailed for the violence which started when he went around to the victim’s property on March 4, 2023, despite having been issued a five-day police safety order. A CCTV camera at the property captured most of the events from that night, which began about 10pmwith the pair arguing in the lounge. The victim turned and walked away when Whata grabbed her, put his arm around her neck, and put her in a chokehold. She fell to the ground with Whata on top of her. He let her go and she got to her feet but he chased her back into the lounge where he tried to put another chokehold on her. She managed to push him off but fell to the ground and Whata took the opportunity to put her in another chokehold for about 7 seconds, causing her to go in and out of consciousness. As he held her down, Whata then kneed her in the head and torso four times and continued strangling her for about a minute. Once he let go, she again tried to run for her life, making it outside, but Whata chased her. Some time later he got a knife and followed her around the house with it as she carried out household tasks. He stood guard to ensure she didn’t push her domestic violence button and at one stage cornered her in the kitchen with the knife to her head and punched her. At 1.45am, Whata threw her through the open ranch slider and then held her down on the ground, before closing the door and curtains. While on top of her, he put his hand inside her mouth and pried apart her jaw with downward pressure for about 10 seconds. She begged him to stop and tried to push him off but he continued similar attacks for two more hours. Some time later in the morning she said she needed to use the toilet, where she pressed her panic button and alerted emergency services. St John paramedics discovered she’d suffered a broken jaw due to visible jaw drop, and had multiple cuts and swelling to her face.

Awesome

Here is early signs of the rotten Maori culture. The rotten people. Look at what has happened now in 2024 still in denial, still excuses, still BS and blaming everyone else accept looking at themselves. And now they blame the great people of NZ today who have made a great country. Now the nasty people are trying to tear down and divide NZers. We see the rot has set into some mainstream media the show tv1, stuff media and some of rNZ national radio. We see the new brown privileged rasist in the Treaty Tribunal and the iwi who will waste their money on lawyers and court while their people line up at Foodbanks in a recession. They missed the mark, it's simply they do it to themselves and now have started their abuse on Europeans.

I would so love to meet this man, I have been writing my life story for over 15 years now from when I was born in 1963 , it has a lot of similar episodes to his , and I think too it would make a good movie, I hope one day it would , As he has shown ....dreams can come true, What a great man Cliff Curtis is., thank you for sharing your story Cliff.

I don't blame my European or Maori ancestors for anything. I am responsible for myself.

Tumeke what a mean journey with a awesome outcome

Maori will always blame other's and not take responsibility for their actions, Māori like to twist things around and play the race card if they don't get their way, I've heard Maori blame pakeha for whanau molesting other whanau member's saying it's the pakeha's fault for introducing alcohol to Māori which they claim created Māori pedophiles 🤦 Maori just can't take responsibility they rather sweep it under the carpet and blame pakeha.

He mokemoke au ki a koe joe

Brilliant actor and a welcome insight into what makes him tick. Seems like a humble, loving fellow, giving back to others. Arohanui CC and Marae.
