College Strongly Opposes Treaty Principles Bill

The New Zealand College of Public Health Medicine strongly opposes the Principles of the Treaty of Waitangi Bill and categorically rejects the three principles that it proposes.

The Bill is premised on dubious rationale, purports to solve a problem that does not exist and has been developed in a manner prejudicial to Māori.

Its principles subvert decades of jurisprudence and distort key concepts in our nation’s founding document. It has already provided a platform for misinformation and racism that is undermining social cohesion and harming health. If enacted, it would erode the very purpose and status of te Tiriti in our constitutional arrangements and lead to increased health inequities for Māori.....

The Wāhine Māori leading NZ’s largest education union
Ripeka Lessels had been an educator for 20 years before she decided to become involved in NZEI Te Riu Roa’s Māori governance body, Te Reo Areare. It’s here she believed she could do the most good for tamariki Māori.

As someone who had trained and taught in mainstream schools, but happened to be a native speaker, she says she saw the parallel executive wing of the union as the right place for her.

And over the years, Te Reo Areare did have a significant impact in shaping union policy. “My focus was always on the Māori side, and if I could have an impact there, that’s where I wanted to stay.”....

A maori business is a business that identifies itself as a maori business. So for tax purposes, one would guess that most new businesses would self-identify in this way. What a scam

Of course the maori economy is bourgeoning. A myriad councils, govt agencies have in their policy specific statements requiring race based favouritism of maori. Fellow intransigent insurrectionists and brainwashed others have infiltrated all Council, government and many large private enterprises. Terror of cancellation effectively eliminates opposition to their manipulations. With operations so influenced from end to end by maori, critical accounting oversight is near impossible, and in any case also hugely deterred by certainty of cancellation. It is a gravy train even the least cunning and conniving maori are onto.

I have great concern regarding the so-called Māori economy, what exactly set's it apart from the actual New Zealand economy.
It appears dangerous and deeply racist.
Apparently its worth has exceeded the 100 billion dollar value.
What does this mean for the rest of us second class citizens.

Mudbauripper I agree.
It sort of feels like germany in the 1930s when jewish people were removed from society gradually, step by step. To be a non maori business is to be labelled as 2nd class and more taxes must be applied. The maori economy is conditioning kiwis to know their place as less important citizens, who cannot benefit from.an economy set up for one race only.

The "brought and paid for" apartheid economy.

Mr Luxon, this is apartheid - Luxon/National wake up, realise this is not something to be swept under the mat and be part of the solution - if not get out of the way and let those who can do it!

6th. So we have self disfigured maori as president and vice president of the NZEI, the all powerful teacher's union in large part responsible for the degradation of the NZ education system. Fortunately I will probably be dead when my grandchidren are moved overeas for a reasonable education and a life not ruled on a racial basis by maori.

I wouldn't consider having a Westpac banking account after seeing their advertising for scholarships for Maori only.

I am incredulous that two blatantly pro their race tattooed maori should have made it to the top positions of the NZEI. The decline of the traditional teaching profession apparently far more advanced than I had imagined. I am curious about appointment details.Was it a secret vote of all members? Or a vote of delegats? If the former what proportion abstained? Even if supposedly secret many today would not trust a blatantly pro maori organisation to respect, so fear of cancellation would deter or steer very many votes.
