“I have an obligation to the next generation, and the one after that, until one day our people might no longer need them.”
said Hannah Tamaki Leader of the Vision NZ Party who was referring to the 7 Māori seats currently under Labours direction. She warned if action is not taken, then she has 7 good reasons to abolish them altogether.
The leader of the Vision NZ Party will be welcomed on to Te Tii Marae this evening at 5.30pm carrying a message that now is the time to write new law that determines the eligibility political parties should be required to meet, if they want to contend any of the Māori seats.
“If I have to sit through another ceremony and watch this Labour Governments excessive virtue signalling one more time, I’m quite likely to announce that I am standing myself, just to remove one, of the Māori seats, from their grasp, and who couldn’t get used to the weather up here.”
“Labour are the local loan shark that prey on the most vulnerable victims in our communities. We legislated against them (loan sharks), now we must legislate against the ability for parties like Labour to take control and misuse what belongs to the Treaty Partner and not the Crown.”
Mrs Tamaki thinks this is appropriate at a time our country celebrates 180 years since the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi. She adds this would be a significant step forward to advance Māori interests and a stride in the right direction, different from the many hundreds of times Tangata Whenua had been victims subject to the Treaty being breached.
She said Māori are not stupid but are victims suffering post colinisation trauma that leads them back to the abuser every time an election rolls around. To break the chain that keep Māori bound to this pattern, we must assit them to end the generational cycle continously passed on.
“It’s simple really, I think New Zealanders are tired of watching Labour turn up annually at Ratana to try and operate off the good will left behind decades ago by the late Michael Joseph Savage.
From there they turn up the following week, descending upon the Treaty grounds at Waitangi, displaying their ornamental trophies enlisted by the senior Labour caucus to sit in the Māori seats and provide cultural advice, translation services and facilitate occassional ceremonial hui.”
The Leader of Vision NZ is ready to bring all that to an end.
“Vision NZ will pass legislation that allow only Māori led parties to contend in the Māori seats, with the criteria to be set out following consultation and engagement with Māori leaders to create the framework.”
Mrs Tamaki believes if we don’t do this, we should just abolish them to prevent them being used to do more damage than good for Maori and cited reference to the Forshore and Seabed, that saw 6 of the 7 Māori MPs at the time, fall to their knees, with only the Hon. Dame Tariana Turia crossing the floor for her people.
Vision NZ or their defacto name Destiny Curch call Labour loan sharks yet they ask their congregation to pay a percentage of their income directly to church and eftpps terminals used for collecting.
What a joke and what a brainwashing party.
Miracles do happen ! I agree with Bert
That was satire that post? right?
Hannah Teke hasn’t got a clue about what she is talking about.
No HANNAH we can’t and shouldn’t get rid of our Maori seats yet not until our people say so. We weren’t the ones that created these seats, these seats were created primarily to control us and keep us in our so called place. We need to teach some of our people how to vote strategically. Labour think they have already won our seats this could be their mistake. Labour turned up to Ratana props and all, now I don’t want to be nasty and say what I mean by props but I am sure most of you know what I am referring to. But at this moment I do know who I will not be voting for but I do know who I wont be voting for. I have a few options I hardly ever double tick a party. I did last election but I don’t think I will be doing it this election. The Maori Party have said some good things (Mr C Wilson) but they need to say and do more. They need to listen to many of our people, they need to go out to many of our people now, don’t wait until it is too late. And they need to ask our people, what is wrong? what do they want and what are the main issues you want us to address and try to fix. Jacinda has come out and said we are here, we have done mea te mea and we know there is more to do and we are going to do it. Really! are they going to relinquish some of their power, somehow I doubt this. To do this they would have to dismantle many of the entrenched racist state organisational structures, when in fact they have been busy entrenching them by giving some Maori positions of power to further destroy and emancipate our people. This is not tino rangatiratanga, tino rangatiratanga is when we have control of our own and the means to do so. I could and I would give my vote to them ( the Maori party) and so will many of our whanau, after all we are all whanau despite many forgetting this. I want to see some more good quality Maori party candidates, so far I believe they have one. And I want to see them do what I said above if they do this I will work for them for free. I will stand on the side of the roads in the Hutt Valley just as I did at the last election intact with my sign asking people to vote for them, I will email and call my big whanau and tell them why they need to vote for them, I will door knock, I will collect and empower our beggars and homeless ones to vote. I will lobby our prisoner who are eligible to vote. I am but one person if I will and can do all this imagine what many others can do. So I am waiting. I have already started speaking to people, now for me the ball lies in the Maori parties court. Remember many of our people are very forgiving particularly when people admit they have done something wrong and they want to put it right.
Don’t worry gentlemen I think the only votes the vision party will get is from their own congregation and wait till they have to pay for things. Thinking about who pays for their campaign costs, it will probably be the same people from their congregation.
But,… putting in place a mechanism to protect the Maori Seats from been hijacked by mainstream political pakeha partys is worthy of spending some time to think about.
For too long, they’ve been captured by the two main partys and then the MP’s have to tow the party line.
I think thats called the, ‘Stockholm’ syndrome.
There needs to a ring fence of absolutism, Tino Rangatiratanga that goes with the seat.
Yes agree with you 100% DennyPaoa
