Government's colourblind directive an 'attack on science and public health advice' - expert
Public services must now be determined on need, not race. But in the health sector, experts say the biggest determination of need is ethnicity.
It's a dogma labelled in some sectors as 'colourblind ideology' - the idea that everyone should be treated the same when it comes to public services.
Now the instruction to prioritise on the basis of need, not race, is enshrined by a Cabinet Office circular setting out the government's expectations when it comes to who gets what.
But internationally, the approach has been criticised as something that allows us to deny uncomfortable cultural differences, and suggests it is a form of modern racism.....

However, Tainui Group Holdings’ recent property announcements, like one in Ngāruawāhia for 100 affordable rental properties, represent a potential pivot point for the Māori economy.....

Protection for historic Taranaki pā site one step closer
Construction on a new coastal walkway and bridge to protect a historic pa site in Taranaki from walkers and mountain bikers is one step closer after the Taranaki Regional Council approved consents for the project.
New Plymouth District Council, which manages the Weld Road Coastal Reserve, approved a $570,000 bridge, rockwall and walkway traversing the headland in 2021.

The towns battling over English or Māori names
Two recent battles between traditional Māori versus English street names in different parts of Aotearoa have highlighted a lack of national consensus over road names compared with place names.
While Petone looks likely to soon become Pito One, and Russell is awaiting on the word of one man to become Kororāreka, changing or naming a new street is a rocky road.

Councils have varying policies for naming streets and roads, which can get messy when disagreements arise, as the decision comes down to councillors, despite legal obligations to include Māori in decision-making.
Here’s a look at some of the recent battles its given rise to.....

Re 21 The often leg pull adoption of maori names has got out of hand. Terror of cancellation precludes councillor rejection. Pito one does not get around the confusion for strangers inclined to pronounce as the numeral. It is incredible how the early settlers often with extensive knowledge of maori, misheard so many names. I suspect any old time maori who had not been brainwashed to imagine decolinisation would have instantly recognised and approved of Epuni instead of the rambling (and costly) confection.
The towns battling over English or part Māori made up names!!
Surely a compromise on Epuni could be to use the surname TePuni. This wouldn't be as hard to adjust to as the typically long winded name proposed? That is the trouble with most Tereo renaming; it seems they want a story told. What's wrong with a single, easily remembered word?
Corporate Government's APARTHEID directive an 'attack on science and public health advice' -
22nd. As elsewhere comparison of kura and other schools is complicated. Only common useful subjects shoud be considered (English, arithmetic, etc. I suspect the main deremining factor is parent/guardian interest or not.
Re the pathway to skirt and protect yet another pa site, fancy surfaced pathways are fine for those who use as exercise tracks or access routes. But one part of a sealed track is much the same as any other. And the stone a wall is artificial. The experience of changing terrain is foregone. The experience for those seeking same is hugely reduced. A classic example is the Waitakere Regional Park in Auckland. On the pretext of protection of the (very few) kauri, maori have pulled a mana coup and most tracks are closed, off track banned, and tracks turned into tedious boardwalks or sealed highways.
It is all about mana.More is acquired by swinging a huge inconvenience over the mostly colonist derived public.
