I arrived here in the 70’s and noticed then that Maori were definately treated as second class citizens so do not know when this egalitarian period was . I remember as a KFC manager being laughter at when I suggested a Maori cook was made my assistant manager. Unreliable and posiblity dishonest was the reason to not take the chance. I threatened to leave if they did not give him a chance so he was hired . Long after I did leave he was appointed a training manager.
I would agree with everything else said in this comment . Judith Collins as leader of the opposition has every right to bring up this example of possible race division and there cannot be a blinkered view of Maori history as being all good . As with all people of any race there was good and bad and we all need to live in the now and not dwell on the past . Errors were made and should be righted if possible

Well beginning with Nania Mahuta, maori just need to prove that they have a role to play.

It is in no one’s best interests to carry out a purge and neither is it on anyone’s mind.

To gather along with tangata tiriti and maori can restablish something for good. Something that could eliminate poverty, but also establish New Zealand in places where only great people are welcome.
