The NZ legal system recently released a pair of teenagers, who savagely bashed an old man in his own bed, so badly that his broken bones were exposed through his skin, whos motivation for the attack was "it's cool" because they were "detached from their culture"

[@valeriehughes1008]

Yes, the so called warrior gene... the same gene that saw Maori commit genocide of the Moriori and the killing of 1/3 of the Maori population by Maori themselves during the musket wars. The treaty made all tribal Maori and European alike equal and put an end to Maori keeping their slaves and continuing cannibalism. Instead of being considered "detached from their culture" the teenagers you draw attention to were actually acting out their culture.

Not like they were wards of state and abused by government agents. They still finding bodies of people killed and eaten by Maori in the late 1800s. Well after the treaty was signed.

Time to take a new look at becoming a republic, because then we could have a constitution based not on a document from 1840, but on what the citizens of NZ in the 21st Century drew up through consultation and ratified by a referendum. And I don't mean the politicians doing the drawing up of said constitution, but that it is done by public consultation and debate. That way a minority would not be calling the shots.

So you admit you don't watch or pay any attention to the content this channel reports on, then assume that the topic you're wanting hasn't even been reported on, (cause you know who cares about loyal listeners and what we want to hear) and then judge the channel worthless because until then anything else that might be important to the audience is worthless. Classic. You've got Google, do your own research it's all there. It's an issue, but there's more important fires blazing out of control, and more smoke on the horizon pointing to even more danger.

There’s a reason English is the international language and Maori is not. And it’s nothing to do with colonialism. English was derived from various languages over a thousand years ago.

a quick history lesson for the uneducated the crown signed a treaty with Maori.. the treaty was shet and actually granted no land sales to Pakeha. so pakeha went against the treaty they had written up and started to take the land. by force and legislative means.. ie making up laws to steal.. then come the land wars. it's in the name they wanted the land so they started a war. funded by Bank of England through the NSW branch. this money funded Grey's army. and Grey paid them back in stolen land. (CONFISCATED). now today in 2023 the treaty works for Maori. The Crown is having to pay reparations for all its wrongdoings. now Pakeha are blaming Maori for stuff you pakeha created..

[@jimijamesjowitt]

Maori breached the treaty every day since then till now. The treaty has been void since before it was signed. Anyone with a couple of brain cells knows this. Any crime or violence from Maori even against Maori was treaty over. Its a peace treaty. If Maori are not agreeing to be New Zealanders thats an act of war. If they have a problem with history maybe stop trying ro repeat it. The government has breaches it's own human rights laws over and over and over. The treaty, a fraud committed by Maori to stop other Maori from taking their land. But now the other people of the nation are expected to fund treaty breaches against the treaty fraud. Just more fraud. Nothing stop them all being imprisoned for breaching the treaty if they think its real.
