The Maori economy is based on the "give and take" principle.
We give, they take.
Does he about tax-exempt grift of fractional “maori” who are predominately of european immigrant ancestry?
In 1840 maori meant ordinary. There was no people called Maori, only individual tribes. Maori as a statutory entity was invented much later but isn’t part of the treaty. We are all ordinary people of NZ but the messianic reign promotors need to cause strife in our society their strategy in NZ is to create a new class of people that was less than 2% of the population in real numbers and use them as a vehicle for their agenda.
Assets of $126billion is some $141,000 for every man, woman, and child who identifies as Maori in NZ, and this doesn't include their personal assets and that is on top of their share of the assets that all NZrs collectively hold. Yet, all we hear about is Maori poverty? And it's all very well to claim they contribute "X" to the GDP, but how much do they really contribute to the running of the country via taxes etc? Less than they take - well certainly less than what they cost the economy.
It's past time for a reset and the likes of the Tamihere's, the Mahuta/Ormsby's, 'Underpants' Morgan's, Stephen (Tipene) O'Regan's et al, had their snouts taken out of the public trough and paid their way. It's time all NZrs were on an equal footing, with equality before the law.
Luxon allowed Māori to promote themselves this week to International investors. It begs the question did they share the cost of staging the event and secondly why can’t they raise capital from local banks. I suggest it was high risk investment and Māori think they can pull the wool over the eyes of foreigners by singing, dancing and painting scribbles on their chins.
