A new ACT Party policy calling for “a referendum on co-governance” has been branded “divisive”, “bigoted” and “appealing to racists” by the Māori Party.

Te Pāti Māori co-leader Debbie Ngarewa-Packer said the policy proposal was deliberately divisive and based on a “really bigoted opinion of tangata whenua”.

ACT Party wants referendum on co-governance with Māori
The issue of Māori co-governance is set to be a big talking point at the next election with ACT campaigning for a referendum on the issue.
Revealed exclusively to 1News, party leader David Seymour says it would be a bottom line if forming a Government with National.
"Over the last 40 years a combination of the Waitangi Tribunal, the courts, and successive Labour and National governments have quietly but progressively changed the definition of what the Treaty means," Seymour said.
He believes the Treaty of Waitangi was not a partnership and therefore co-governance arrangements should not be viewed as a necessary extension of that.
"Co-governance is actually exclusive, it creates resentment, and we need to have an open debate about it that is healthy for society."......

Abolish school streaming to improve education for Māori students, says research
Streaming should be abolished as it “exacerbates the long-term systemic failure” of Māori students, says new research into inequality in schools.
According to Christchurch-based think tank Tokona Te Raki, more than 90 per cent of New Zealand secondary schools operate streaming, which the Ministry of Education (MoE) defines “as grouping students [...] into different classes for some or all subjects based on perceived ability”.

Minister Little visits the Rohe Pōtae
The Whakauae staff were on hand to help welcome Treaty of Waitangi Negotiations Minister Andrew Little, into the rohe pōtae (territory) of Ngāti Hauiti and Mōkai Pātea-nui-tonu.
During his visit, Minister Little was taken on a comprehensive tour of the rohe pōtae by helicopter, not only to get a feel of the geographical expanse of the area (which is comparable in size to the Tainui rohe pōtae) but to view the remote hinterlands where much of the remaining Māori land interests are ‘land locked’ - a situation which essentially renders the iwi landless. It was also a chance to view the substantive area taken for defence purposes which now forms Waiouru Military Camp.
As an iwi owned research centre, we are acutely aware of the contemporary issues that face iwi regarding health, economic, cultural and social disparities which are often a consequence of colonisation, Crown breaches Treaty of Waitangi and the assimilation policies of early governments.

To be congratulated, but with the name Helena Abolins - Thompson, there must also be a european connection there somewhere. Why not say so?
Way too much of this sort of rubbish.
Are these people ashamed of their personal family history or only part of it?
