National Action Plan Against Racism

'Educational violence' - Lack of Te Mātaiaho in English curriculum slammed
The draft secondary school English curriculum is ringing alarm bells for some teachers, with no reference to Te Mātaiaho - the framework that underpins every other curriculum area.
Teachers told RNZ the omission of Te Mātaiaho in the document published this week was bizarre, and they were worried it was part of a move to sideline the Treaty of Waitangi, which until recently had been a critical part of Te Mātaiaho.....

Ngāti Hāua receives Crown apology, $20.4m settlement for Treaty breaches
A central North Island iwi has received an apology from the Crown for bringing “discord, death and division” to its people.
The settlement legislation will enact statutory pardons for two Ngāti Hāua ancestors, Mātene Ruta Te Whareaitu and Te Rangiātea, who were tried under martial law and treated with “exceptional harshness”.
The settlement legislation will enact statutory pardons for two Ngāti Hāua ancestors, Mātene Ruta Te Whareaitu and Te Rangiātea, who were tried under martial law and treated with “exceptional harshness”.
Te Rangiātea was imprisoned for life, dying after a few weeks, and Te Whareaitu – the brother of the great fighting chief Tōpine Te Mamaku – was executed by hanging.
The redress package includes the return of 64 culturally significant sites including Ngā Huinga (Cherry Grove) where the Whanganui and Taringamotu Rivers meet; a $6 million cultural revitalisation fund; and $20.4m in financial redress.
The minister said a key component of the deed was a collective agreement between Ngāti Hāua and key Crown agencies to support, resource and empower the future wellbeing of the iwi.....

High Court slaps down ministers’ ‘capricious’ changes to fishing quota
Officials have unlawfully stripped fishing quota from Māori and given it to other big companies, the High Court has ruled.
It’s the culmination of a long-running case that will now force the Government back to the drawing board on the way it allocates fishing quota.
Ever since the Sealord Fishing Settlement of 1992, officials have been removing quota from iwi and other fishing companies when fish stocks diminish, then quietly giving nearly all that quota to a few big fishing companies – primarily Auckland-based Sanford Ltd – when stocks recover.....

ACT MP launches member's bill to stop universities offering services 'based on race'
An ACT MP has drafted a member's bill she says would "ensure universities do not allocate resources, benefits or opportunities based on race".
It follows on from a Cabinet directive last year to create a "colourblind" public service, which Public Service Minister Nicola Willis said was "a direct result of the coalition agreement" National had with ACT to form the government.
It follows on from a Cabinet directive last year to create a "colourblind" public service, which Public Service Minister Nicola Willis said was "a direct result of the coalition agreement" National had with ACT to form the government.
ACT tertiary education spokesperson Dr Parmjeet Parmar on Saturday said that directive did not apply to universities.
"This week I wrote to the minister for universities to raise concerns about allocation of resources toward students based on ethnicity. This includes special allowances, separate study spaces, scholarships, and course entrance pathways in fields like medicine."....

ACT Bill on eliminating discrimination in universities(Dr Parmar): a good initiative - but this is a member's bill to be selected ( as with NZF's DEI Bill and Sam Uffindell/Nat's equal voting Bill.
Why is the Coalition not presenting actual Bills on these important issues to pass into law as a common policy ?
Is Luxon and his pro-Maori brigade stopping this?
Anon 8:37am you've got it in one. These bills may take years to be drawn from the tin. The published press releases and announcements are little more than Jacinda’s “announcements of announcements” - crumbs thrown as a sop to the voters. The three bills you mention should be current business in the House. If there's not enough parliamentary time then use urgency because we urgently need to turn the country around. Yes Mr Luxon, these things really are part of getting NZ “back on track”.
Yes, I think that we can safely say that Luxon and his pro Maori and pro He Puapua brigade are indeed standing in the way of real progress towards getting NZ back on track. What the hell is wrong with this bloke? He is blind to the bleeding obvious!
re 1st. The State words accompanying Treaty settlements seem incredibly incautious. These will be remembered and thrown back at colonists for eons after. Presumably formulated by some staffer appointed on the basis of their pro maori leanings, but surely the minister checks before he reads out. And as for agreed histories, what if research proves these wrong? Many maori achievement shortfalls cf average colonists is due intrinsic attitude to work and to large families. Yet the state is apologising for their relative outcomes and promising to support, resource and empower future welfare, an incredibly rash undertaking.
Study of Churchill's speeches or better still his writings cannot come to English courses too soon. I am forever intrigued by the wrote pro maori platitudes delivered by pro maori protagonists. it is very hard work to mentally translate into simple English. No such problems occur with any of Churchill's work. It is all immediately fathomable. Reference so the undefined Treaty Principles in curriculum is/was ridiculous. Churchill would have immediately identified. the absurdity and bluntly pronounced..
Re: 2nd and National Action Plan Against Racism: This plan is still referring to the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) when we have been assured that the coalition has declared that UNDRIP has no binding legal effect on New Zealand. Did Minister Goldsmith not get the memo?
National Action Plan Against Racism, read Free Speech, led by Goldsmith and a collection of racist Iwi leaders (partners) to suppress opposition to the Fake, False Fraudulent English version of the treaty and to the UNDRIP agenda as dictated by the NWO globalists.
