The sort of racism we are constantly subjected to is one we would expect a government to be not only aware of but have a plan in place to deal with it. Parliament seems to have quite a few politicians who appear to either be unaware of its existence or may even support it. It is the more mature politicians who seem to be more likely to deal with the issue head on. I am thinking of Peters and Jones: two who are not afraid to speak their minds on matters Māori.
The fact they are both Māori and engender a degree of respect might be an enabler for them to speak out on the issue, not that much respect is shown by the left of politics. These are the people who actively support racism and acts of aggression. Think of the Greens parading around in their terrorist tea towels or the Māori Party leaping about in parliament in a threatening manner; getting headlines abroad but disgust at home.
These are the people who would have the Treaty rule every inch of our lives. In reality this means the majority become subservient to the minority. This, of course, is not how democracy works but these people aren’t interested in democracy. The Māori Party have made a point of saying so. As long as the Government allows this state of affairs to continue there will be no advancement on race matters and our ability to extricate ourselves from this form of belligerence will be null and void.
There is no way the general population of sane people, including Māori, should have to put up with this. We, the majority, who want to get on with our lives as one people are being denied the opportunity by successive governments that refuse to acknowledge the situation or do anything about it. I don’t expect the parties of the left to do anything, but the three parties on the right should take steps to sort it out. As of now Seymour is the lone voice trying to do something to bring about change.
Just because people of a certain colour and race supposedly arrived here first does not mean a racist minority of their culture forever controls the day-to-day destiny of the country. Heaven forbid: a militant few would be creaming it while the rest of us would be in a race to the economic bottom. While this might be unlikely to come about, the constant pandering to these aggressors is in no way helpful to putting them in their place.
I believe the time has come for some form of legislation to be introduced to prevent what we now have put up with from continuing. If it’s not the Treaty Principles Bill then there has to be something else drafted and passed that will make it clear where the boundaries are and how far this racism through the Treaty can spread its tentacles. This should be made clear in both everyday life and in the workplace.
There are examples nearly every week where adherence to the Treaty is not applicable and is in fact an unwarranted incursion to the detriment of the country and individuals who are caught in its web. In some instances it is laughable: think real estate agents and now pharmacists who have to immerse themselves in these sorts of things.
It is a mix of racism and wokeness that is at the heart of the problem. We need the sort of action we have seen recently from Donald Trump, where DEI virtually disappeared overnight. The same thing happened with gender issues and men playing in women’s sports. Meanwhile our Government, on issues of race, completely lacks the courage to take decisive action. The majority of the population are crying out for it and would support any government willing to tackle the issue.
The younger generation of politicians need to take a leaf out of their more senior colleagues’ books and harden up. Lack of action is viewed by the racist minority as a sign of weakness and they are adopting an ‘upper hand’ posture. These bullies are cowards that must be dealt to. The sooner this happens the better and, like Seymour, I think some form of legislation is the answer to ensure the Treaty is relevant to 2025 and not 1840.
This is probably best placed coming from NZ First, courtesy of Winston and Shane in the form of a Private Members Bill. I can’t see it coming from National...The never-ending carry on, with the Treaty up for consideration on practically every issue that is discussed, has to end. It is beyond tedious. It is unacceptable, unnecessary and completely pointless with respect to New Zealanders today.

Luxon can go on beating his own drum about how hard he and his Coalition Government are working on improving the economy but unless they address the racism issue which accounted for it’s 2023 election win, it is hard to feel confident about the next generation’s future.
Jc I doubt any rational average kiwis would disagree with you.
You have got it in one, Anon.
The election was won on the promise to GET RID of the racist march.
We need Luxon to grow a pair and live up to his promise to of getting rid of all the Maori B's being rammed down our throats.
Dead right Doug. Their failure to do so will see their demise - together with this country's, unless there's a miracle?
