Every week that passes is another assault on Māori.
The anti-Treaty agenda being progressed by the National, NZF and ACT Government is occurring because both Winston Peters and David Seymour have the experience to consistently outmanoeuvre a hapless Chris Luxon for populist race baiting stunts.
On top of all the damage to Māori aspiration we have seen to date comes the latest populist attack in the form of a desire by NZF to review legislation that includes Te Tiriti o Waitangi provisions.
That amounts to 28 laws that will need to have the Treaty removed.
All the achievements Māori have made politically since the formation of the Country stripped away and cut out because NZF want to play the same race baiting games as ACT have embarked upon.
Cutting the Treaty out of all legislation is a pointless exercise that will generate legal action after legal action for no gain whatsoever.
In the drive to be the most colourblind, NZF and ACT are ignoring Māori in their own home country.
The backlash to this ongoing campaign against the Treaty is made obvious in the latest TVNZ Poll where a year on from the election, National, ACT and NZF have all dropped in support.
Doubling down with another attack against Māori aspiration highlights that this Government doesn’t actually have an agenda beyond reactionary revenge fantasies.
We are a better people than this.
The reality, of course, is that the only people affected are a tiny clique of iwi grifters who use these clauses to make a buck by getting in the way of progress.
We are fast returning to the racist times I remember as a kid .I remember my dad telling me how he used to get bashed for using Te REO at school ,the way things are going that mat be the case for the next generation of school kids .I remember him working on a dairy farm owned by two bretheren white supremists who were happy to have Tom a local Maori ,do all the shit jobs on the farms but he was never allowed to enter the homes or eat lunch with the white people .We left after one season and the next farm manager gave the white fat prick a good hiding and striped him of his clothes and raised them on a a flag poll for all to see .Most in the district gave him a knighthood .Carry on the way we are and this is the future .
The Bretheren did not break bread with other folk
Years ago I asked my mates Mum could she speak Maori. She had lost the ability. It was a real shock to learn she and her siblings and friends were strapped for speaking maori in the playground! They already knew not to speak it in class.
In Germany and Scandanavia all kids learn their own language and English and a third language. They are expected to be fluent in a second language by age twelve. This country’s shit education system does not start teaching a second language until age thirteen. English and Maori are two official languages in this country all school kids should be learning both year one to thirteen and a third language at primary school. Kiwi kids should have the opportunity to be as educated as the multilingual people in the rest of the world.

Very true. 100%
Except the revenge now with power has become a reality.
We are a better people than this.
We “should” be better but the 3 million red neck Right and Swingers are not and never will be.
The truth is supporting anti Maori Rhetoric is fundamental to being a right wing voter.
The Right wing has won all of its elections from 1975 onward on minority bashing especially
bashing Maori, Beneficiaries, the Unemployed, Solo Mothers, Feminists, immigrants and Gays.
Why would the Right wing bother with real policies which can be challenged when majority prejudice, ignorance, greed enforced with power is much easier?
God defend New Corruptland
I might get an Israel passport for these pricks as we are becoming the Israel of the pacific .We are embarking on cleansing the poor and creating more poverty than ever before .Act has sent us down the path of controlled starvation of children .Upston is doing her best to aid that by making it imposable for the parents of those same kids to be able to house and feed them .
