I think Laws is correct. Humans are greedy beings and if they see an opportunity to feather their nests they'll do it. The public service treating maori organisations as 'special' both enables and emboldens those that will take advantage......

As Thomas Sowell said people used to special treatment see equal treatment as discrimination.
John Tamahere literally fits that saying to a tee......sadly in his circles he is not an isolated case.

New Zealand needs to be resolute in ring fencing tax payer money with appropriate accountability no matter who or where it goes....until that 'thinking' is absolute the rorting of tax funds will continue unabatted.

With near every employment appointment nowadys requirng a professed pro maori attirtude, very many have been successfully brainwashed to gebuinely possess such. it is only natural that they adopt te ao tikanga, maori view and enter into the counter colonist culture spirit which now permeates all interactins by maori. Rorting colonist sytems is seen as a mana gainiing virtue, not a failing.

Never a truer word spoken. Such a shame its taken nearly half a century to have it called out for the sham and rort it is.

A very courageous leader is needed to make this change.
