The Waitangi tribunal has played an important function correcting past wrongs. But there must come a time when it’s wrapped up. Maybe that’s not right now but it needs to be the goal and we need to look to our further.

We must consider cultural impacts of our projects. But our RMA shouldnt force Moari consultation for ever bit of development. There should still be consultation with local iwi for specific projects, but it should be a partnership, not something that slows and increases costs of works. I think of some of our roading projects that go through enormous challenges to reach agreements with multiple iwi. This shouldn’t and dosnt need to be such a slow and expensive process.

I’m a New Conservative supporter. My wife is Moari many of my friends are Moari. There is no racism in New Conservative policy. It’s fair to disagree with their policy, most will, but to label the party as racist is simply not fact.

This is also a small part of there policy and not something they are focusing on. I dont agree with every one of their policies, I dont need to. But there is a large amount that I do agree with. Ultimately they just want what’s best for all New Zealanders, just like the other parties in Palmerment. Its important for everyone to keep that in mind.

All the best 🙂

While you finish with what many would consider an accurate description of the New Conservative party it is stretching the truth to imply that they are Christian. While they might claim to be Christian the simple instruction that by their fruit (actions) you will know them should be enough for people to know better.

Don’t care. Party vote Labour.
