In his 1985 book Shadows Over New Zealand, the former Communist Geoff McDonald revealed how the Maori Sovereignty movement was using Marxist strategies to gain power:
“Marxists understand that the key to destabilising New Zealand is to show how badly the Maori is treated. The big lie must be built up, until enough people believe it to enable the damage to be done.
“There is no Maori oppression at all. But that would not stop them from going ahead with their propaganda. Facts or truth have no relevance to Marxism. Anything can be said to help create the conditions amenable to the collapse of society. However absurd or grotesque the charges being made against white New Zealanders, if they are not answered they will be believed.”
That’s exactly how it played out. Over decades, separatists have gained positions of power and influence through division and deceit.
Key milestones included - in the seventies - the introduction of State biculturalism to divide New Zealanders by race, and the establishment of the Waitangi Tribunal as a permanent commission of inquiry into contemporary breaches of the Treaty.
A decade later, the Tribunal’s jurisdiction was extended to include already-settled historic claims, giving rise to the multi-billion Treaty gravy train.
The eighties also saw the establishment of separatist education through taxpayer-funded Maori immersion Kohanga Reo early childhood centres and Kura Kaupapa State schools.
This was the time the fabrication that Maori are a Treaty ‘partner’ with the Crown gained traction, with special Maori consultation rights and privileges included in the new Resource Management Act.
In the nineties, when MMP was introduced, instead of the Maori Seats being abolished - as recommended by the Royal Commission on the Electoral System to prevent an over-representation of Maori in Parliament - they were retained. As predicted, with 27 percent of MPs now of Maori descent, the reserved seats have become discriminatory, denying non-Maori New Zealanders fair representation in Parliament.
The early 2000s saw today’s multi-billion-dollar tribal business corporations granted a special exemption from the crucial ‘public interest’ test in charity law so they could secure charitable status and avoid paying tax.
By 2011, tribal leaders were on track to gain control of New Zealand’s entire coastline and Territorial Sea including ownership of the country’s priceless seabed minerals and veto rights over all coastal activities – and a decade later, they had co-governance of freshwater, health, and other public services.
As Geoff McDonald warned, New Zealand had become victim to a classic Marxist “march through the institutions.”
After the 2020 election, exercising unbridled power and revolutionary zeal, the Ardern majority Government’s army of activists within the State sector unleashed Labour’s He Puapua agenda for tribal rule onto an unsuspecting nation.
As the Maori language and culture began dominating public affairs, New Zealanders became increasingly aware that a tribal takeover was underway.
By then, all key institutions had been ‘captured’, including the public service and wider State sector, the courts, the mainstream media, and many private organisations - especially those associated with religion, arts, and culture.
It was in this context that the 2023 election resulted in Coalition parties promising to reverse race-based laws and practices.
As we approach the end of their second year in office, the question that is top of mind is whether enough is being done to derail the tribal juggernaut.
This week’s NZCPR Guest Commentator, the former Judge and Law Lecturer Anthony Willy outlines his concerns:
“In the runup to the 2023 election National, ACT and New Zealand First appealed to its voter bases and swing voters by promising to reverse this insidious destruction of New Zealand democracy and social norms as they had previously existed. It gave voters a stark alternative to Ardern Marxism in which she substituted separatist Maori interests for the ‘working classes’ and used those interests to destabilise the existing order.
“Our democracy is under threat from the notion of ‘partnership’ between the Crown and the descendants of a few tribal chiefs who signed the 1840 document. The academics and partially educated wokeocracy who advocate for this race- based society never pause to reflect that anybody seeking to destabilise any working political system in any of the dictatorships or theocracies including Russia, China, North Korea, or Iran would be found guilty of treason and punished accordingly.
“The Prime Minister is there to safeguard the institutions which brought him to power. It is his job to ensure that any threats to those institutions are promptly and firmly met by the necessary legislation and by publicly speaking out against them.”
These are strong words – and rightly so. New Zealand is now suffering the consequences of decades of political kowtowing to a vested interest group committed to subverting democracy and seizing power for their own enrichment.
As the former US President Barack Obama once warned: “Ethnic-based tribal politics has to stop. It is rooted in the bankrupt idea that the goal of politics or business is to funnel as much of the pie as possible to one’s family, tribe, or circle with little regard for the public good. It stifles innovation and fractures the fabric of the society. Instead of opening businesses and engaging in commerce, people come to rely on patronage and payback as a means of advancing. Instead of unifying the country to move forward on solving problems, it divides neighbour from neighbour.”
After fifty years of embedding racial privilege deep into the State’s legislative framework, tribal leaders are not taking the Coalition’s attempts to remove their leverage lying down.
And with such grave concerns swirling around, it’s easy to lose sight of the progress the Coalition is making.
Some of the obvious changes such as abolishing tribal control of water and health by repealing Three Waters and the Maori Health Authority were actioned within their first 100 days.
Fulfilling other election promises is proving more difficult.
In December 2023, then Public Service Minister Nicola Willis was briefed on options to deliver the Coalition’s commitment to ensuring public sector agencies have their primary name in English and communicate in English.
Instead of adopting a blanket approach, the Minister’s more nuanced methods have failed in institutions populated by radicals.
It’s surely now up to the new Minister Judith Collins to hold those chief executives to account: either comply or resign.
With a Public Service Amendment Bill in front of Parliament and open for submissions until 31 August, the Minister has an ideal vehicle to not only deliver its purpose: eliminating Ardern-era identity politics from the public service by removing all references to “diversity”, “equity”, and “gender” from the law - but to reinforce the English language message as well.
This is an important issue for the Coalition because it has become symbolic of He Puapua for many New Zealanders who have had enough of being force-fed Maori language and culture.
As state-funded broadcasters, Radio New Zealand and Television New Zealand in particular need to be brought into line - and quickly for the sake of the Coalition’s credibility.
Another agency that has been radicalised and needs to be reined in is the New Zealand Geographic Board, which is undermining English to the point of absurdity where many Maori language replacement place names are not only unrecognisable to the vast majority of New Zealanders, but also unpronounceable.
New Zealand First, which introduced the prioritisation of English into the Coalition Agreement, and remains concerned about the continuing use of “Aotearoa” instead of “New Zealand”, has drafted a Private Members Bill: “The ‘New Zealand (Name of State) Bill’ confirms that ‘New Zealand’ is our country’s official name, and it is only Parliament and the people, not bureaucrats, government departments, or officials, that have the authority to make decisions about the name of the country.”
Whether this will become a government initiative remains to be seen. If not, New Zealand First will carry it through to election 2026.
A key Coalition pledge to strengthen the Marine and Coastal Area Act to deliver what Parliament originally intended – namely a minority of successful claims in remote areas, instead of the entire coastline - is expect to become law in October.
While Justice Minister Paul Goldsmith is confident his amendment will produce the desired outcome, given the law change was derailed by activist judges in the Supreme Court, we remain concerned the process may continue to be sabotaged. Their latest bombshell decision to allow Maori to control the country’s major rivers justifies our scepticism.
Accordingly, the NZCPR will not only maintain a watching brief of court cases to ensure the new law delivers what’s been promised, but we will continue to call for Chris Finlayson’s flawed law to be repealed and the foreshore and seabed returned to Crown ownership.
Meanwhile, the Government’s review of legislation that includes “the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi” has identified 32 laws where such references will be replaced or scrapped.
One of those is the Education and Training Act, which, along with changes to the education curriculum, is expected to finally halt the indoctrination of New Zealand children with Ardern-era He Puapua propaganda.
The Waitangi Tribunal, which has been radicalised to promote Maori supremacy, is also under review, not only to refocus its operation, but to add balance through new members.
In local government, while the right for communities to have a say on the establishment of Maori wards has been restored, locals will still need to work hard to ensure they are abolished in October’s referenda.
The Coalition, through their Local Government Reform Bill - which is open for submissions until August 27 - is refocussing councils on the basics by removing their need to take into account the social, environmental, economic and cultural wellbeing of their community.
Since recent Court judgements and legal opinions have clarified that local government is not the Crown and has no duties as a signatory to the Treaty, there is no requirement, for councils to accommodate Maori demands for ‘Treaty partnership’ agreements. It is hoped candidates advocating that such privileges are revoked, so local authorities can once again prioritise the best interests of their community, will gain a majority on new councils.
Although the Coalition is progressing resource management reform, the fact that “Recognising and providing for Maori rights and interests” is contained within their draft National Policy Statement on Infrastructure raises concerns that tribal groups will still be able to hold projects and the country to ransom.
Tribal engagement has become the biggest roadblock to progress in New Zealand.
The cost of race-based payoffs is now millions – if not billions - of dollars. If the Coalition is serious about growing our economy, they must free the country from this cultural insanity. All race-based consultation should be removed, including from fast-track legislation, National Policy Statements, and the RMA replacements.
The point is this: After fifty years of appeasement, tribal groups have become powerful and dangerous. They see themselves as de-facto rulers, and if things don’t go their way, they do not hesitate to bully and intimidate, demand and threaten, and with very deep pockets, resort to legal action through a ‘captured’ court system, until opponents cave in.
Stopping the tribal takeover is what National, ACT and New Zealand First promised to do when they agreed to prioritise “Ending race-based policies” in their Coalition Agreement.
By “ending race-based policies” through expunging all references to “race” and “Maori” from our Statute books (excluding Treaty settlement legislation), New Zealand would join over half of all OECD countries that have adopted a similar “colourblind” approach.
As Justice Minister Paul Goldsmith reminded us recently, “The Crown is sovereign. The Crown is simply the representation of the democratic will of the people of New Zealand.”
Exercising their sovereign power and restoring democracy by eliminating race-based policies and ending the tribal takeover is what New Zealanders now need the Coalition to do.
Will National and Prime Minister Luxon step up to this challenge? If they don’t, their coalition partners will.
