Let’s stop pretending this is some enlightened step forward. It’s not. It’s race-based bureaucracy cosplay, where half the country gets to play “traditional steward of the land” while the other half gets to foot the bill, keep quiet, and tick the diversity boxes on the way out.
This isn’t about honouring a treaty. It’s about turning democracy into a cultural popularity contest—except only one side gets to vote. They call it “partnership.” Sure. If by partnership you mean “you work, I rule.” It's like going fifty-fifty on a car and only one of you gets to drive it—and the other is stuck in the boot getting told they’re lucky to be included.
We’ve now got “Maori seats,” “Maori wards,” “iwi consultation panels,” “tribal veto power,” and God-knows-what next. Maybe next we’ll be asked to apply for driver’s licenses based on ancestry. Blood quantum licensing. Sounds progressive, right?
You can't even build a bloody water tank without checking if it offends a taniwha or violates some spiritual real estate. Meanwhile, councils are signing off on co-governance agreements like they’re drunk at a Treaty trivia night, and nobody’s allowed to question it without being labeled a fringe lunatic or a “colonizer.” How original.
But here's a crazy idea: maybe we stop giving political power based on who your great-great-grandfather bedded. Maybe we stop pretending ancestral DNA is a qualification for leadership. Maybe—brace yourselves—we act like adults and run the country based on merit, not mythology.
Because science—remember science?—says race is a made-up label. One species. Homo sapiens. That’s it. We’re all the same, biologically speaking. This obsession with race-based governance is like arguing over bunk beds in a house fire.
You want unity? Equality? Then flush the damn tapeworm. Co-governance doesn’t unite us—it divides, inflames, and festers. It’s the bureaucratic version of giving one group the steering wheel, and telling the rest to push the car uphill.
This country doesn’t need more committees and cultural vetoes. It needs guts. It needs clarity. And it needs leaders who have the spine to say what everyone’s thinking: we are done with race-based bullsh*t. One law for all. No more golden tickets for being born with the right whakapapa. No more apartheid-lite dressed in flax and hashtags.
Time to clean house. Because the future of New Zealand doesn’t belong to tribes—it belongs to all of us. Equally. No special deals. No spiritual loopholes. Just the radical, dangerous idea that we all matter the same.
And if that offends someone? Good. Maybe that means we’re finally getting somewhere.

Yep its time to flip it on its head. 1st fact...TPM are racist so lets start calling them out. I dont know one "white" person who wants a separate anything or who thinks they are better and more entitled than everyone else because of their race. The tyrannical majority genuinely does not give a crap about the color of someones skin or about what culture they choose to practice. 2nd fact...Maori ceded sovereignty. It is them who continuously violate the treaty. They use inflammatory, insulting, and abusive language to weaken us (and by us I mean all NZdrs, Maori included) and it has worked. 3rd fact...They will not stop. They will take everything back and then tribal warfare will start up again as they fight over the scraps between themselves. They want power. They have a plan and are rolling it out every day. So what is our plan?? Lets start with a citizens initiated referendum that covers co governance and puts the treaty back in its place. The government is not going to do anything so we will have to do it ourselves. Is there anyone out there who knows how to get the ball rolling?
'they', can only identify as a maori!!!!
just stop acknowledging the term 'maori'
Hear , hear!
Hear, hear. And why are we giving so much power and control to Iwi, a cohort not even identified in the Treaty? As for 'honouring' the thing, when are all these part-Maori going to pull their weight and financially contribute to society rather than always take? No, we need to be done with the thing as it's served its purpose and the two original parties have essentially merged and no longer exist. We now need to unite and move forward as a nation of equals.
New Zealand had its chance recently to change direction, but it was voted down 112 to 11 votes by the traitors who reside in our parliament.
This has proven the democratic process that has served us so well has been abandoned.
We are now Governed by Marxist Maori and other vested interests.
The options to turn this around are limited. One last attempt at the ballot box next election or civil unrest followed by revolution.
Simple Anon 7:52 am.... Look up Citizens Initiated Referendum petition on the Parliamentary website . You will find that a hybrid referendum is available , that is partly electronic through Parliament website and partly old fashioned signature on paper for those without internet .
It is NOT binding but would give a very good indicationof NZ feelings.
To make NZ governance secular, you'll also have to cut the umbilical cord with a monarchy that heads the Church of England, and abandon the parliamentary prayer.
Thanks for articulating this John, we'll expressed.
Pardon me??? NZ has been stolidly SECULAR for maybe over a century. Church of England/Anglican church has no role in gummint here. Parliamentary prayer long abandoned.
And for a second time. The ACT TP Bill outcome was rigged to say 90% ( of the 3000.000 + submissions) oppose the Bill - despite Curia poll results to the contrary. An accurate result will never be known and a false impression of support was deliberate.
glan011, our Head of State is also the Head of the C of E, and last time I checked the parliament website, they had rewritten the parliamentary prayer but not tossed it out. Correct me if I am wrong about the latter, having been out of the country for many years before returning in 2021, but I am right about the former. King Charles is both Head of State and Head of the C of E.
No, supreme power is not held by the New Zealand people. We are still “subjects” – now of a parliamentary monarchy in Wellington rather than Charles III in London. That individual only remains the nominated face of the kingdom in Wellington at their invitation.
Our parliament has governed as supreme sovereign (unconstitutional monarchy) itself for 39 years, but never sought ratification for that coup from the people. They did this through the Constitution Act of 1986 and the Imperial Laws Application Act of 1988, enthroning a “Queen of New Zealand”.
Lange and Palmer had no legal ability to accept the Crown in 1986 – they had to get ratification from the people first. They never did, so, it was, and remains to this day, technically illegal and unconstitutional. Australia and Canada are in the same boat.
Spot on. The odds are not good.
PS Apologies -correction.
1. .....300.000+ submissions
2. ......a false impression of rejection ( not support)
What can be put across average NZers is amazing....... but in the end, they have to address this i.e. to survive or perish.
But... Charles III is Head of State in NZ, but the Church of England with Reps in House of Lords, is separate from NZ Anglican Church, a separate legal entity from the English church. Archbishop of Cant is a "fellow" archbishop to the three!!!! currently in NZ... of course 1980 saw NZ Anglican church broken into three Tikanga and has demonstrated since that "it does not work"... to quote a Mori archbishop...
The parasite responsible for the “tapeworm” is the United Nations. They are calling the shots to all western empire-controlled colonies, and its vassals (government) are carrying them out.
United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues, Twenty-Fourth Session.
The New Zealand Government supports the economic development of Māori as part of its overall strategy to enhance economic growth in New Zealand and improve opportunities for all.
OK thanks for that, glano11, I checked it out and you are correct about this.
New Zealand , unlike England does not have a state religion. In England the state religion is the Church of England. I don't know for sure how long this has been in NZ . Several Christian sects sent missionaries to NZ , not just for Maori but to try and improve the European riff -raff way up north. in the early !9th Century.
I believe , unlike what the academic Enlightenment would thrust down our throats , that we we have a spiritual dimension as humans not as animals.
Knock out all Christian prayer in Parliament , as Trevor Mallard did and we have now instead it replaced by karakia , which refer to ancestors and prayers to great kauri trees . True religion can't be forced on people and surely perhaps a silence of a few minutes for private prayer or affirmations , or whatever of honourable intentions towards ALL the people of NZ not just Maori. The Maori radicals are very selfish and destructive . This contrasts Marxism with Christianity which ideally (although not always practised) promotes selflessness and promotes individual responsibility not a variety of victimhoods as the sole cause of misfortune or low social or economic status as does Marxism.
