Headline: Did I hear that correctly? Te Hamua

Posted on June 5, 2013 by admin in Press Releases, Te Hamua Nikora

“You’ve got to be kidding” was the reaction of Te Hamua Nikora upon hearing the Minister of Maori Development, Dr Pita Sharples, that it would take 27 years for Maori to achieve pay parity with Pakeha.
 
“Yesterday was a bad day for the Maori Party after having cast the deciding vote in favour of charter schools that will do nothing for Maori education. Then the Maori Party Co-Leader says that Maori have to wait almost 30 years to be paid the same as Pakeha.  For Maori in Ikaroa-Rawhiti the wait will probably be longer.  After all, half of all employed Maori in Ikaroa-Rawhiti earn $25k or less”.
 
“In any other country, the gap between what Maori earn and what Pakeha earn would be labelled racist.  What I don’t understand is why the Maori Party are happy to sit there and continue to support an ACT-National Government who are prepared to do nothing about our people being paid peanuts?”
