How come Manurewa Marae and Māori Party are corruption but this isn’t?
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.
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 .
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.
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?
