Is the Crown failing Māori on alcohol? Waitangi Tribunal to hear claim
The Waitangi Tribunal will be asked to consider whether the Crown is failing Māori on alcohol, as part of the evidence into WAI 2624 being heard next week.
Lead claimant Rāwiri Ratū (Ngāti te Ata Waiohua, Waikato-Tainui, Ngāti Maniapoto) says successive governments have avoided responsibility to protect Māori from the harmful effects of waipiro (alcohol), despite a 2010 Law Commission report finding alcohol contributes to the broad health and social issues affecting Māori......

Regarding calls for a Sleepyhead boycott, I think that whoever wrote that letter was completely correct. I notice that those calling for a boycott aren't named: WHY?
There is nothing racist about the letter but everything that is done for Maori just because they are Maori is completely RACIST. And it is true that only the Maori elite benefit from these "Maori only programmes": ask any ordinary Maori when they last received a distribution from a Trust set up to manage the Settlements payouts. The answer will always be "Never".
I hope luxon was on the list for a copy, and better still all the shadow ministers, and national parlimentarians,they need a does of this in their vains and get rid of the lovey dovey woke stuff.
