The Qanon level conspiracy theorists proclaiming Co-Governance is a secret plan to steal NZ for the Maaaaaaris would be hilarious if it weren’t so stupid.
When Elizabeth Rata coined the phrase ‘Ethno-Nationalist State‘ to describe attempts to share power with Māori as promised by the Treaty, every right winger wanting to be racist found glee in the shielding of their bigotry by the pretence of intellectualism.
What is most hilarious about Rata’s claims of Ethno-Nationalist State is that she is 100% right, it’s just that she’s right in a way she doesn’t want to admit to, which is NZ is an Ethno-Nationalist State, it’s just a White Ethno-Nationalist State.
Our systems of power and control are all white, our dominant culture is white, our benefitting from colonialism is white, our purposeful laws aimed at taking more Māori land were white, our confiscations are white, our dominant narrative is white.
So sure, NZ is an Ethno-Nationalist State, but for white people.
Any attempt to rebalance the damage caused by taking 90% of Māori land in less than a century and any attempt to live up to the promise of the Treaty must be denigrated and appallingly decried as apartheid.
The backbone of the economic success story that is NZ, is in stealing Māori land and NEVER paying the full price back alongside a low wage economy that exploits migrant workers.
Forget the Māori’s, what about NZs co-governance with the Greedy Banks, Greedy property speculators and Greedy low wage exploiters?
Māori Co-Governance is a symbolic gesture where as NZs co-governance with the Greedy Banks, Greedy property speculators and Greedy low wage exploiters is literal!
Why is it that Māori co-governance is supposedly so much more dangerous than the current co-governance with Greedy Banks, Greedy property speculators and Greedy low wage exploiters?
Why is it that the co-governance of NZ by the Greedy Banks, Greedy property speculators and Greedy low wage exploiters is somehow invisible and never debated while it’s attack Māori co-governance every single day of the week?

According to Luxton NZ is in this predicament because of Jacinda, Labour and the bloody Maaori’s.
Well then, that makes it clear that Little Johnny nothing is nothing but a drone who was put there because he is the perfect dogsbody to continue the work that uncle Johnny Key was sent here, and foisted upon the national party as their next leader.. Or, the “corporate raiders advance party”, to accomplish, and leave NZ totally vulnerable to the winds of fate, without even a sheet for a sail… The Luxon cretin will do his job without a first thought, let alone a second one, particularly if NZers are going to vote with their anuses, as is traditional in the leafy suburbs. and in the paddocks… Jacindas weakness was that she wasn’t prepared to “go to war”, which is what is now necessary if NZ has any chance of avoiding becoming “Hong Kong for beginners”…
Well have that coversation. Invite the banking elite cogovernance practioners onto The Working Group.
Yep. Along with someone like Chris Finlaysn
How is Māori Co-Governance a symbolic gesture when the most fundamental aspect of democracy, that of one person one equal vote, is overturned and discarded as it will be if 3 Waters is implemented?
Greed is colour blind. This is a class war. National not Labour will kill this off because it works against their aim of economic dominance.
It’s going to be an interesting year especially with National, ACT and NZF all fighting for votes from the same demographics.
Yes Chris, might be that a factor in this is people see Maori co-governance as a tribal (ie NOT Ngati Pakeha etc), or bloodline or ‘race’ based allocation of power.
Whereas getting ripped off by banks, amorphous and not so amorphous ‘big business’ organisations, etc.
Well, anyone can join that party (at least on the surface, or at least the racist hiring and policy is not advertised or emphasised).
