As the Invercargill City Council prepares to increase Maori representation within its ranks, another two Southland councils have revealed similar moves are not on their radars.

The new positions, which would be given to one representative from both Waihopai Runaka and Te Runanga o Awarua, follows a decision by Environment Southland to introduce similar roles in March 2019.

A Government review of when Māori can switch electoral rolls is too narrow and should focus on the political significance of the Māori Electoral Option as well, a Māori politics expert says.

But associate professor in Māori Studies at Victoria University Maria Bargh, whose research includes Māori representation and voting in local and general elections, says the issues are much broader than whether Māori should have a choice once every five years or once every three-year electoral cycle......

Māori employment weathers pandemic storm well: ANZ
A new report on unemployment shows that Māori have not done as badly as might have been expected during the pandemic, so far.
In fact, Māori had the smallest increase in unemployment compared to other groups, ANZ’s chief economist Sharon Zollner said.
Māori employment had typically been more vulnerable in previous recessions in New Zealand but 2020 was different.
“It just so happens that industries where Māori are currently more likely to be employed have been the ones that have experienced some of the most robust recoveries.”....

Latest Financial Capability Study Proves Knowledge Is Power -with Positive Findings For Māori
Te Ara Ahunga Ora Retirement Commission has today released its latest survey into the financial capability of New Zealanders. The survey, which canvassed over 3,000 New Zealanders, informs New Zealand’s National Strategy for Financial Capability and feeds into projects to improve financial capability outcomes for New Zealanders. The study found four key headlines including:
* a person’s financial knowledge, behaviour and psychology can have a greater influence on their overall financial wellbeing rather than how much they earn, how old they are or what ethnicity or gender they identify with.
* Māori convert the same level of knowledge and resource into greater financial wellbeing than Pākehā. Therefore, investment in Māori financial capability is likely to bring disproportionately higher payoffs for this group’s financial wellbeing.....
