[@olsaffa7679]

@SKNZ2727 Because, if you ask enough questions, they know that they'll be exposed as racists. So, they rely on the "indigenous" argument to cover up their racism (which is illogical as near every single one have ancestors of those they claim they are not). Even saying that, makes space for justification of racism, causing people to not mention it.

David's comparison to asylum seekers suffering in their home countries and the holocaust, these are horrible ways of expressing his point. Newly arrived refugees (that number should be brought to zero asap) does not entitle them to leverage the suffering endured by Maori in Aotearoa/New Zealand. Maori are the minority, and Treaty of Waitangi is a protection for thwm against the tyranny of the majority which David hopes to usher in under a banner of equality. The same principle is at work in America with the electoral college, it prevents and tyranny of the majority. Democratising the Treaty of Waitangi? Is he joking? It is not a treaty between the newly arrived Sudanese refugee nor the newly arrived Irishman. It is between Maori and the Crown and recognises Maori and their position in history of the country which means something.

[@Mele-c9k]

Jenny May asked good questions as its not up to 8% of the votes to decide a fouding document that was signed by two people who first settled in this country. So if David and his 8% vote can put forward a bill to meddle with Te Tiriti who benefits? Why is this so equality not benefiting Maori. Gosh I didnt know that Maori being treated equally meant losing their land, living in poverty and acrosd this country jail, health, education disparities. Correcting grievances does not mean ok enough now when therehas been a generational impact to Maori.

[@Mele-c9k]

@@cd2920 not sure where your claim of millions were given. Maori lost lives which ypu cannot base it to an equivalent of money. What does a life equate to money. .Sometimes its not the seen things but the way society treat Maori. That is the two very different way thinking money alone is the answer to Maori’s issues. The problem is the fact that we are having a discusaion focused on Maori grievances that Seenothing seems to jave the answers to. When the very same institutions that have allowed discrimination and all this harm to Maori are now saying. I think its time now for you to discount your whakapapa. Cos we are all equal. If you are seeing that is because the system is failing them because again an institution who caused the harm is telling Maori who and what they are.

MSM in the US pedalled the propaganda of a woke leftist government (as ours still does here)! They buy into presenting news as opinions rather than facts. All the time they lied to the people saying Trump couldn't win - the people came out in the droves to cast their votes - even the Armish, who never vote, voted this time... the result was a land slide victory to the right... I like to think we did the same here. You can be assured the woke press in the US will be sanctioned and told to get back on track with fair and non bias reporting....while here the MSM have not even acknowledged we have had a change of government and still pedal propaganda for the woke left. All over the world these idiots are being kicked to the curb!

That odd political mix has many far more constructive policies than the others currently, & in moderation have a chance of actually improving NS without destroying it as the Key-Luxon-Trump direction seems intent on. Pipe dreams are what they are: labour actually had a few sound ideas among the deluded and problem ones, but Luxon dumped them instead of organising them competently. They also saved untold lives before the minority popularists could spread Covid and blame and spread fake information.

If Luxon won't allow National to support this Bill, then National need a new leader. All of those MPs are there representing their constituents.

She and her other moku mates never seem to acknowledge the negative statistics in their culture and just ignore these or blame it on general NZ or the government. Why don't they use their so called fame to improve things by speaking out as a role model to their own. It's always someone else's fault what's going on in their society. TVNZ would be making a big mistake to keep her on as it must be hurting the number of watchers. I agree that NZ should be one . This hikoi is a waste of time and I suspect there will be violence/disruption/cost issues on the way down to Wellington that we don't need.
