Stop calling that a protest. Call it something that reflects the fact that criminal damage was done in the name of a cause. I'm Māori and I see both sides of this situation. I also see the political situation around the world and want peace for the people of the treaty. My mokopuna includes little Māori guys and little pākehā guys. Their lives deserve to be lived in peace. Protest in Aotearoa is effective when it keeps everyone open to the dialogue.

New Zealand will only flourish when all Kiwis are equal, when "we look forward at opportunities and not backwards at perceived grievance".__ This statement is why we have multimillionaires and poor. The Grievance industry hurts most Maori and rewards just the Activists.

@@krisp4889 Not at all. You set up a straw man by calling it a "grievance industry " and that is a weak way to address the situation. You would probably characterise the entire attempt to address land confiscation as something other than grievance if it was your land, but you are happy to dispense with other people's ownership rights with a word. And that is just the easiest aspect to equate with something that you can't refute. Other rights guaranteed under the law are rights that you can't just dismiss from your armchair.

Another totally biased TV presenter, likes the sound of her own voice and doesn't shut up long enough to listen to the answers. These characters that keep asking " how much will it cost to change Maori names back to English" didn't ever have a problem with the cost of changing from the original English name to Maori.

[@jedipsy]

Hi Mike! I can see how you've got yourself all confused. It's pretty easy if you aren't paying attention or indeed, think for yourself. See, when the previous govt introduced the name change, the opposition lost their collective minds, mainly pointing at THE COST of the change. So, now that they are the govt and are proposing another name change, logic would dictate that a question of cost must be asked. Otherwise (and here in lays the kicker, get ready, you wont like it) it EXPOSES THE HYPOCRISY OF NATIONAL ETC when they cried about the cost initially. Do you understand now?

[@jaywontdart]

Consider: initially names were changed to be more inclusive. Cost wasn’t a reason to change the numbers to be more New Zealand specific. But cost is brought up now, because the whole point of the new government is cutting costs, cutting spending, and I would argue, cutting essential services. All sorts of things are getting cut - even the phase out of smoking! We want to get new customers hooked on smoking cigarettes, just for tax revenue, to fund my incoming $20.05 a week taxcut….. So: if this new government is so fixated on money and cutting services, cutting costs…..but then spends millions on new signage? That looks like a vanity project. It looks like the cash strapped guy spending $1000 on a personalised plate for their old clunker car, just so it says his name “PHIL” on the front :-) It looks like a waste of money, for very little gain.

Clearly even amongst the protestors as they disagree with the English version. So sure they have started some conversation, correct. But I’m not sure what they are protesting about. This government has said it will look at clarifying how the treaty is interpreted so discussion will be able to be had as part of that process. No outcome has been determined yet. Literally nothing has happened other than a bunch of people catastrophizing about what might happen. They have only been in government what two or three weeks now and already those that didn’t get who they wanted in government are spitting the dummy like children.

Tax policy should not allow the wealthy free reign to make large sums without paying tax while taking every cent they possible can on wages? Making people pay on all income just as they do with wages is not punishing the successful, it's making things equitable to what wage earners have to pay which is on every dollar earned. The idea that collecting money from millions of dollars received from profit on, for example, a sale of a property, and then to say it costs more to administer than what the tax department would recieve is ridiculous, as is the idea that it is penalizing success.
