I am waiting for an explanation of National's 'rationale'( if indeed they have ANY) for stymying this legislation.
What IS National hoping to achieve, other than giving the message to our BEST & much needed graduates" we don't want you...Maoritanga is more important than you and all non Maori citizens"?

With this move, National clearly hopes to govern alone ( or with a different and pro-Maori coalition party e.g. Te Pati Maori) after 2026. In this way, the He Puapua agenda will advance unimpeded - but perhaps in a context of slightly better management than under Labour. The HP agenda is undeniably the priority for National ( unless there is a split inside the party).

If one wonders why legislation has been passed to remove co-governance etc ( e.g. local govt, MACA amendment), remember that all this can easily be reversed again - with a different coalition.

It is a Globalist UN agenda, and has been in the pipeline for many years so I suspect you would be right anon. at 8:27

Right now we ARE debating the whole Treaty issue. Amazing and artfully done by Seymour. It is a growing concern for all of New Zealand.

This won't simply be snuffed out by the loud overreaching voice of the media it will continue to pull people in.

An inert mass of a heavy weight takes a lot of force to move but once moving is hard to stop.
