Matt Walsh: How New Zealand’s parliament became a viral laughingstock


Parliament in New Zealand descended into tribal, Stone Age grunting on behalf of so-called indigenous rights. This is a preview of what our country (America) could look like if we keep apologizing for our history.

'Russia Today' gave the story full coverage including the video. The write-up is restrained but one wonders what smart-alec comments were being made in the editor's office.

Surely Russia would be saying that "the useful idiots are doing very well Comrade"?

Brilliant analysis of what Matt Walsh so accurately described as an “absurd debasing spectacle”.

As was the commentator who loosely quoted Thomas Sowell: “Civil rights used to be about treating everyone the same. But today some people are so used to special treatment that equal treatment is considered to be discrimination.”

The novelty of constantly apologising, paying settlements & seeing what was a lovely cultural tradition like the Haka, turned into a commercial spectacle, has well & truly worn off, particularly since there has been no tangible outcome for our hard earned money, except for the creation of a very rich, greedy radical Maori elite who have been living the good life at their expense of their own people.

And how is with all that money Maori are still overrepresented in all the wrong statistics?

Take child abuse & NZ’s appalling ‘roll of dishonour’. NZ children from all different ethnic backgrounds suffer abuse, maltreatment & either end up in State care or murdered or both, but Maori children suffer this fate more. Why? Because there has been no accountability, because governments & well meaning NZers have been motivated by misplaced colonial guilt into treating one group as special over others, to the point where our society can never hold them to account without fear of accusations of racism. It means that by being treated as special they don’t have to take personal responsibility for their choice to torture, fracture & murder their babies & worse, actually get to blame their horrific actions on everyone else.

This has gone on for decades. As they say the definition of insanity is ‘doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results’

It’s time for this insanity to stop.

Brilliant and succinct commentary on the problem with maori that exists in New Zealand today. Nails all the reasons why the maori led grievance Industry needs to be disabled and, in particular, why the Waitangi Tribunal should be wound up - immediately.

I'm pleased that the world now knows what can happen when you continually give in to people playing the victim card to gain power and money, because that's the real driver behind this.
Sadly, particularly with Luxon's reaction the the bill, I'm not sure that this is going to help solve the problem, we still have to sort this out ourselves.
