New citizen’s affirmation given in te reo

Central Otago District Mayor Tamah Alley greeted the new citizens in their native languages, and told them it was an honour they chose to live in New Zealand as they literally had the world to choose from.
One of the new citizens who chose New Zealand was Gagandeep Sharma from Chandigarh, India.
In a first for Ms Alley, Mr Sharma delivered his citizenship affirmation in te reo.
It was a connection with Maori culture, and his Hindu faith that inspired him to read the affirmation in Te reo Māori......

Apology crawls towards reality after council Treaty bill strife
Sorry seems to be the hardest word at Taranaki Regional Council as it negotiates an apology for what’s been described as “appalling” behaviour over the Treaty Principles Bill.
In January the council voted to investigate why a debate on the Government’s Principles of the Treaty of Waitangi Bill was shut down by conservative councillors at the council’s December meeting.
The council agreed to apologise to people – mostly Māori – who wanted to discuss the contentious bill, authored by Act leader David Seymour, which would redefine how Te Tiriti is interpreted and applied.....

InternetNZ dismisses concerns over Hobson’s Pledge’s influence on council and constitution
Since February, membership of the Internet NZ Council has tripled to over 2,000
New member and journalist Joe Trinder (Ngāti Awa) argues that the involvement of groups like the Free Speech Union and Hobson’s Pledge risks marginalising Māori voices in the organisation’s decision-making.
“For me what I feel that’s happening in Aotearoa is what I call the ‘MAGAfication’ of Aotearoa.”
“I’ve just seen that we’re getting a gradual decline into becoming a MAGA society.”

Iwi join discussion on geothermal potential
“Māori have a long history of utilising geothermal resources for heating, cooking, and therapeutic purposes, and are now actively involved commercially in developing and operating geothermal energy generation, glasshouse food production using geothermal heat, and tourism ventures,” Mr Jones says.
“I am excited to start a conversation about where we go next. New Zealand has a proud history of innovation. Harnessing geothermal energy for electricity generation is an area in which we have achieved success and international recognition. Having a geothermal strategy we can all get behind will be invaluable and I want to do that with the experience and expertise Māori will bring.”....

'Step backwards': MP's voting rights bill opposed

Te Awe Library trials new shelving system for mātauranga Māori literature
The team at Te Awe Library are trialling a new way to organise mātauranga Māori literature in a way they hope will be meaningful to Māori, while still being able to be used intuitively by anyone.
The Dewey Decimal Classification, first developed in 1873 in the United States, is used by librarians worldwide to catalogue and shelve books of all kinds. However, many librarians argue that the system doesn’t fit comfortably when it comes to books by and for people of non-Western cultures.
This classification system was created by a small team using online resources like Ngā Upoko Tukutuku and consulting with subject matter experts and Māori librarians.
The te ao Māori classification system has been built using Māori atua (gods) and their associated areas of knowledge and activity to organise subjects......

"... New low cost health service opens in Tararua. ...". Judging by the photo in the (Dominion) Post, those pictured don't look particularly 'healthy' i, in terms of weight, to me..??!!
It would be interesting to know details of the clearly race discriminating Tararua medical centre is subsidy. Whilst many of the clientele may not be wanted by others, it is difficult for private non discriminating practices to compete without similar subsidy.
When maori gain total control of NZ, as they are well advanced in achieving, all non maori (and many ordinary maori) will be treated as Waititi's lawn. Is he the most uncouth NZ m.p ever?
It is all part of the inclusiveness thing. Clients having takem time out from their bsuy productive world, tangi and hikoi, and troubled to attend for a free or near consultation will not trouble to return if they get a lecture on diabetes etc from some 70kg stripling.
18th. Apart from countries with a mind to invasion, and hence interested in our flight into tribal disorder, most of the world could not care less about remote NZ. However any idle overseas academics who choose to study the phenomenon will be intrigued by the maori driven process of decline.
For those few million who did not know Te Awe is the Wellington Public Library. It is incredible that sufficient persons have frittered time to produce shelves of books based on hocus, and that a public funded body should spend up large on collecting and presenting same. It is ironic that in the Auckland city library the whole Engineering section has contracted to less than the Te Awe hocus section. In the future there will presumably be few like myself who have accumulated considerable knowledge on many factual technical topics by browsing in public libraries. Useful knowledge will be exclusively the province of those who have attended paid courses. The end of traditional NZ. Meanwhile maori in particular are encouraged to stuff their heads not with practical knowledge but with fairy tales, stone age practice, and contrived hocus.
I read the article about Waititi and his lawn.
The picture included must be fake, it shows Waititi working.
The absurdity of a gods based index system for maori literature is doing my head in.
Jones' choice of words and metaphor is always intriguing and often very apt. Unless investors keep a very close watch and control, investment in projects maori are very likely to "exhaust" their funds.
Re: Jones' comment about a "potential $60million (of taxpayer money) ... to explore geothermal energy opportunities", I hope a very close audit trail is undertaken regarding that 'exploration', for I'm sure I wouldn't be alone in being more than disappointed if any appreciable amount was spent on Maori consultation, taniwha appeasement, and related 'consenting' efforts etc. Ironic, given the possible Freudian slip by Jones in the earlier column when talking of foreign investors and what they "might like to exhaust their money in." Surely, the latter wasn't an unconscious nod to those usual connotations regarding 'Maori and Money'?
Presumably maori companies can slip maori names past the (paid) advisory committee for less koha on the side than non maori companies.
I wonder if the Foresty trust accounts cover the moko sessions. Although if a tax free trust of no interest to other than Trust member maori done out of a little extra income for quality food etc for children.
Aotearoa will be like Hobbitland - a mystical place full of odd looking people wearing fancy dress ( and hats in Parliament).
Sam Uffindell’s proposed equal voting rights bill be a government bill and passed tomorrow under urgency.
21 Not being a participant it would require far more effort than I can afford to fathom just what the water conference covers. But it seems likely to be a blatant move for "indigenous" ownership and or control of water. it would be interesting to know how all the costs are met . It is inappropitae for govt money even indirectly through universities and "charities" to be used to promote political agenda.
As with the Peters anti-DEI Bill, Luxon's reaction will be vague... these Bills have to be drawn from the box. In contrast, the official Bill on Treaty references in legislation - part of the Nat-NZF coalition agreement - seems now managed by Goldsmith and Potaka. Expect nothing much to change.
Agree, a Goldsmith-Potaka "managed" process = stasis.
The goings on at Taranaki Regional Council are typical of the time wasting mana seeking deviation from core topics which characterises significant maori involvement everywhere.
With so much state subsidy involved effective fire detectors in marae woud seem to be very prudent. I recall that the original meeting house built at Orakei after the occupation burned down. The colonist tradition of insurance had not been applied.
