First, they took away the people’s right to vote on Māori wards(2021). Now, Te Pāti Māori wants to install an unelected Treaty Commissioner with the power to override Parliament—because, apparently, democracy is an inconvenient little thing. And you know what’s next? A full-on apartheid system, draped in shiny slogans. Nothing’s off the table. The strategy? Guilt, intimidation, and absolute cultural subjugation. It’s like a silent coup—except this time, it’s not just happening behind closed doors. It’s happening right in front of our faces.
Now, let’s talk about this fetishization of Māori language and culture. Let’s get one thing straight: when they say “cherish” Māori culture, what they really mean is mandatory worship. You want an English street name in a country where, surprise, most people speak English? Too bad. That’s now a cultural affront. You want to speak your own language without jumping through bureaucratic hoops? Nope. Not if it offends the new cultural overlords. And if you screw up the pronunciation of te reo? Forget it—you’re either ignorant or a bigot. Meanwhile, te reo gets shoved into every government document, announcement, and public space—whether anyone understands it or not. This isn’t about respect; it’s about control. It’s about turning the tables so fast you don’t even realize you’ve been silenced.
And here’s the crown jewel of it all: the never-ending obsession with “righting the wrongs of the past.” Oh, really? So when does that bill get paid? When do we call it quits?
Here’s the hard truth: the people pushing this agenda have no intention of ever letting this cycle end. Māori crime rates? Colonization’s fault. Māori unemployment? Systemic bias, of course. Māori school attendance? The government’s fault for sure. And what’s the solution? More race-based privileges. More handouts. More demands for silence from anyone who dares challenge the narrative.
At this point, this isn’t about fairness. It’s a machine built on entitlement, manufactured outrage, and the total annihilation of dissent. And the people who see it for what it is? They stay quiet—not because they agree—but because they know exactly what happens when you speak out. You get labeled, you lose your job, and they’ll come for you. Because in this brave new world, criticizing race-based laws isn’t just unpopular—it’s damn near criminal.
But here’s where the plot thickens: people are waking up. They see the truth. They see where this is going, and they know that if they don’t push back now, democracy in New Zealand will be just a footnote in the history books. When that day comes, don’t come crying to anyone. You were warned. And when poetic justice finally arrives, you’ll realize we were right all along.

Spot on John! Every NZer should be putting pen to paper, or emailing the PM and their elected MP. I did just that yesterday as a matter of principle and for my sanity’s sake. If enough people who care about our country, said in even one or two sentences what they feel, perhaps Luxon will come to his senses and realise how bad race relations have become.
Political polls suggest not enough are waking up. The Labour Green TPM block have regained ground and could win an election. The wall of one -sided ,,news,, from our ,,news,, media is effective
We have just been holidaying in Napier. We will know when we reach rock bottom when all the art deco buildings and English street names( Yes, amazing I know, still in English!) are changed to Maori. Thanks Napier, you must have taken a stand and your tourism will surely benefit from it.
I believe its too late
What is the point in emailing a deaf brick? Luxon is only listening to his Maori advisor.
Excellent opinion piece. I sent the following to the Post with no expectation of publication, but it reflects what John has written and how we are lied to: "When we will get truthful and balanced commentary from supporters of Te Pati Maori? Jack McDonald’s, A nationhood that we can all be proud of (6 February), provides a series of historical and factual errors (and an ungrammatical title). The term ’sovereign nation’, did not apply to the fragmented collection of independent tribes present in 1840. Britain was a sovereign nation; not so Maori. The treaty was not signed to ‘share resources and enable a settler government to be established’. It actually gave the chiefs protection from hostile tribal interlopers, and allowed peaceful cooperation between settlers and Maori. It is asserted too, that that there was a ‘lawless settler population’. This is totally incorrect, given that law-abiding missionaries and early settlers were setting up small holdings and businesses. Any lawlessness was amongst the transient whalers and sealers, not settlers; and also warring Maori tribes. Finally, the canard about ‘extermination of culture’, when in fact Maori schools and a written language were produced by missionaries with enlightened Maori support. A claim about ‘systematic theft’ of Maori land also ignores the many Maori happy to sell land. No wonder we have societal divisions with these falsehoods and abysmal lack of probity."
The voice election in Australia shows how the media, the corps, and the political/ruling class have the microphone but we have the ears.
The ACT party with NZF could well be the lead player in the next coalition.
Don't believe the opinion polls they are just as it is in the US paid for play nudge entities.
Sending emails to National or Luxon is daft hes the problem and will lie to appease just vote for ACT or NZF in two years.
We do need a referendum on the treaty principles bill and the outcome will be something like 65/35 for why, because only the left can argue against it and even then, polling shows a good proportion of the left are in favour of it.
Luxon could fix this in one day if he had the gonads.
A hypocritical Christian.
Why is Luxon incapable of giving a cogent reason for his stance on this referendum? All we hear, ad nauseam, is : "the bill will not progress under National" .....WHY not ?
To Bill T: Not so easy.
Luxon's strategy is to spike the TP Bill Select Committee ( e.g. endless Maori groups submitting = suggesting these speak for numerous members behind ). The result will be 50/50 . But - we will never hear the actual count of the 300.000+ submissions
(support vs opposition). This would really reveal the voice of the people. This must be known before the 2026 election - to be used by ACT/NZF to demonstrate this.
Luxon /Nat. plan to use the appeasement strategy till the next wave of brainwashed voters arrive - 2026 but more in 2029. Then He Puapua is simply voted in...... mission accomplished.
In this new order, "truth telling and reconciliation" commissions and personal apologies will be normal and endless rituals . Colonizers will get a certificate upon apology - similar to an ID card. Acquisition of money, assets and power extends to personal citizen humiliation. Such is the lunacy of the radicals involved.
Anon at 6.30 am: young staffers in MPs' offices are supposed to sort messages - I believe 50% would have no clue or would be instructed to ignore certain issues. The plan to ignore voters is very thorough.
Allen Heath , I also have sent letters to The Post and like yours was I feel well composed , with correct word count to the point but being critical of The Post's article writer was the reason it wasn't accepted. I would have been sorry to have missed out on reading your letter as well as John Robertson's article both of which are well worth reading
Since The Post declare their letter section is the most popular feature among their readers perhaps "breaking Views' could have a letter section of thoroughly worthwhile letters that were rejected by main newspapers. It would have to be more interesting than the two letters to the editor today on the trivial topic of fences on the waterfront. One would have sufficed..
This could even draw some of the sheeple away from the total diet of propaganda in "The Post".

Well, Janine, driving back South from Napier on Sunday, the major road sign on Pakowhai Road, Hastings, had the names, Wellington, Havelock North and Hastings, ALL headed above each name with some faux Maori name.
Brilliant, John! You've nailed it concisely.
Thank you Gaynor, your comments are appreciated.
Repeal TOW Act, thereby removing any " Principles" that need defining! Then repeal the Act (circa 1860's) that enabled Maori seats and separate electoral rolls. This would take the wind out of the radicals sails. Won't fix all the problems but it would be a good starting point
