My theory is: A lot of people who were getting public money before the new government, are getting less or none with the new National/Act/NZ first government. Tagata Pasafika had a segment with two unknown people. A man and a woman. And they were listing all the anti Maori/Pacific Islander factors they claimed the new government intended. It seems like paid propaganda from JT and others to get their way/funding. Internet connectivity allows us to consume self serving ideas which may promote social division. If people get used to getting public money and then it stops. That would be motivating to reinstate the funding. Calls for a race war seems like a desperate call for power. JT is digging a pit for himself. Self delusional power hungry egomaniac. This whanau is burning bridges and will fall on their own sword. Keep doing good in your neighbourhood. We are one people.

Then Debbie NP was interviewed on Parliament grounds saying that cuts to special access programmes which don't work was A Bad Thing, from an institution - nods to the Legislature - that was in its "twilight". See how this works? More chipping away at legitimacy of parliament, creating the narrative and rhetorical conditions for overthrow. Drip, drip, drip. Normalise the attacks on core institutions, claim oppression, alienation, and a right to resist, then resist to protect tupuna and mokopuna etc. There's the mystic or holy mission element. All resistance movements need a Greater Cause. And if people get hurt, well, that's justified and righteous too. Kiri Tamihere-Waititi seems to be well across this playbook.

.......To continue: A draft Constitution may be ready to be activated. A conference on this topic took place at Auckland University in 2022 attended by leading judicial and academic experts . This text would be based on partnership and co-governance ( otherwise Maori would refuse to discuss the document ). Once voted, this new model of governance would replace the Westminster system ( denigrated by Te Pati Maori, the Green Party and others). Moreover, Constitutions can be amended. So, after a few years, an amendment could be proposed to establish a Maori-only chamber with final veto over all legislation. Then, the He Puapua model of governance (i.e. total tribal rule by Maori) would be installed well before 2040. This scenario will certainly happen if Seymour' s Treaty Bill fails because a vacuum will exist. Some think Maori want a separate system . That is debatable. Rather they want co-governance as a way to final absolute power over the majority.

In many "posts" across different NZ Media political postings of daily events that occur, especially that involve Maori (today) - I have consistently stated - "that we are seeing the rise of radical Maori, their current collective activities can be based on what the African National Congress (ANC) did in South Africa, their approach was to undermine the then "white" Govt and replace it with an African based Govt. IF ANYONE followed those days, you will see, that then and even today what has become of South Africa. South Africans who now reside here are "echoing those same sentiments", and started to see that when Jacinda Arden was PM. Now I am currently reading a book, that details NZ in the 1980's and the then activities of Maori and their direction & intent.

Even if every single Maori agrees (thank God they don't) this cannot be allowed to happen. Why is NZ acting like it's been conquered?

If they can’t live on a pa and canoe out to eat and hunt fish and speak fluently and live off land then they are colonialists living within essentially a pakeha influenced realm. Māori in the not so distant past still lived on pas and lived traditionally and lived within their culture and spiritual traditions and exceptional land and sea based knowledge now such folk would be hard to find. What really is the difference tween any current Nz citizen!? Aren’t we all equal? We got a lot more facing us than what Māori party craps in abt. Both Māori n pakeha need stand together more than ever
