One of the things I think is most outrageous about the allegations of corruption made against the Manurewa Marae is the double standards.
How on earth is it corruption that a Māori family may have been given a KFC voucher, but this isn’t?
Revealed, fast-track ministers’ personal picks that govt had denied existed
A year after the information was requested, pressure from the Ombudsman has forced the Ministry for the Environment to reveal the 97 ministerial nominations
The Ministry for the Environment has released a list of the hand-picked projects put forward by Cabinet ministers for the controversial fast-track regime, after almost a year of denying the existence of this information.
The list of projects – half of which ended up in the Fast-track Approvals Act – was withheld from the public by the ministry, despite first being requested under the Official Information Act in March last year.
It wasn’t until the Ombudsman started investigating a complaint from an environmental lobby group that the ministry admitted the information existed, and then released the list.
Isn’t it amazing – da Māoris is destroying democracy with their corruption, yet at the top table, the Rich place their donors interests above the common good, hide it, get paid and that’s all fine and dandy?
Increasingly having independent opinion in a mainstream media environment which mostly echo one another has become more important than ever, so if you value having an independent voice – please donate here.
It’s turning out that post modern Aotearoa is a corrupt shithole and there are (especially government department) examples everywhere. (Great rant on immigration the other day on this site)
We just have to start using the c word when we see it.
If only we had a political party in NZ that wasn’t corrupt that could introduce an anti corruption watchdog.
Guess why that has never happened?
Maori are easy targets and we’ve inherited a white supremacist state from the 19th century British imperialism rammed up our arse its difficult to nullify because the demographics and racism keeps the status quo intact
Cry me a river. The iwi elite are driving land cruisers while their people don’t have housing or food.
Traditional Maori culture is anything but equal, colonization actually did give all kiwis equal citizenship rights that your people never had before.
Corruption abounds in all societies especially the unequal ones,
Maori are sharp and quick to pick up the ways of the mainly Brit colonists, to try and limit their disadvantage. But if you can’t beat em join em.
And the alcohol introduced was a big thing, and the cash economy was introduced, didn’t have a monetary system, they traded with each other – perhaps pinched now and then that would be typically human.
The Brits after having been in India with the East India Company for hundreds of years knew how to extract advantage and play with their colonies to a high degree.
East India Company
Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org › wiki › East_India_Company
The East India Company (EIC) [a] was an English, and later British, joint-stock company that was founded in 1600 and dissolved in 1874.
Of course that never happens in a white society. Is this the same colonialists that installed a government that confiscated Maori land on a grand scale. Equal rights my arse.
Tu tut Steve, you’re pissing on your ancestors, very disrespectful.
Yes, there’s not a level playing field for Maori as a substantial part of the population only want to hear that something is wrong concerning Maori and ignore all the good things they do.
Please provide a couple of good things they do that are ignored? (i know they do good things, that’s not in dispute) Just curious because I see quite a lot of Maori things incorporated into daily life. Like right now there is a huge festival going on that seems to have quite a lot of funding from somewhere? That doesn’t seem to be ignored. In fact it has full day TV coverage on a main channel.
Asians outnumber maori, Indians soon will outnumber maori, Europeans already do.
Who do you think Asians and Indians will vote for in general?
NOT the maori party, NOT the greens and not the old ‘stop immigration’ Winston of NZ1..that leaves National/Labour/ACT.
New Zealand is on a good path forward.
I’m in favour of charity, and welcome contributions to mine!
This is like an illustration of what my grandfather advised me, that money should never get confused with confetti! However to repeat a hoary joke – ‘My grandfather liked to pass on his wisdom to me. One day he took me aside…and left me there!’ Hah.
Easy to bash Maori in present day NZ because there is a lot of racist people here .Just look at the sabotage around 3 waters because the minister in charge was a Maori .If the fat red neck from Kaipara ,Jesop had been the person promoting 3 waters we would be well on the way with major water repairs by now .
Yeah! Nothing went on there. Everything was above board….
Like the Germans and the showers eh Krauty…
Fucking scum. And no disrespect to actual scum intended.
Unless I’m mistaken a couple of things have disappeared of the internet. Thing one is where did mention of the NZ Farmers Union go? And thing two; where’s mention of how graeme hart got his leg up by buying ( ? ) then selling the government printing office at below government valuation then flogging it off for massive profit a bit later? Oh but Graeme is now into packaging. Riiiiiiiight.
As I keep banging on about. We need a royal commission of inquiry up and into every single fucking atom of our politics and our economy covering the last 89 years of post formation of national party politics.
Hart is one of the 200 richest individuals in the world. He has a wealth of about 12 billion.
One billion is one thousand millions. So Hart still has 11 billion 900 million and 300 thousand dollars left after buying luxon, seymour and fucking peters. Is that right? It’s an amount of money, a cypher, that’s literally beyond my comprehension. But wait? There’s more. Where’s the rest of our money. From about 1900?
One more thing to remember is the people who’ve helped themselves to billions of dollars worth of our assets are going to roust up diversions like race specifically to distract and to create false narratives to get us in-fighting. Just sayin’.
