My kids were watching You Tube and an advertisement came up urging Māori to enrol on the Māori roll. It linked to this website. Tama Iti tells people the more people who go on the Maori roll, the more seats in Parliament. They do not mention that in fact the number of seats is now fixed for the next six years, so changing rolls before the election will have zero impact on the number of seats. What will count is which roll people are on in 2031.At the bottom of the page it says that the campaign was made possible by a collective of 120+ Whanau Ora providers. That means it is funded by NGOs that are funded by taxpayers to provide support to Māori.
So we still have no idea who is behind it. So I looked up their .nz registration file. The registrant is Oxidar, a design company. I’m 99% certain they are not the actual registrant, but are a contractor to the registrant. When I was on the DNC Board, it was impermissible to hide your identity behind your design company (but rules may have changed).
So we don’t know who is actually behind this campaign, and if they have links or not to a political party.

I would be reporting them to the electoral commission.
David is such a kiwi, he can’t see what long term vision looks like. He also seems to have forgotten that it is one person, one vote.
It was paid for by the Whanau Ora Commissioning Agency - In other words, taxpayers.
And who’s behind NZME? They have a much farther reach than a little YouTube campaign. Farrar is talking about the sprinklings when the whole cake is rotten.
All this benefits the left and far left. As usual like all lefties, have their hands in the till.
Heres an idea, make the left stump up and pay for it. Oh wait, they are whinging incompetent losers who have nothing. Oh well, their problem.
Stuck on the shelf behind a book at our local library was an invitation to join the Maori Roll. Make of that what you will.
