Pee Kay: Government job vacancies


“We are one country, we deliver our public services to people on the basis of need, not ethnicity.”

So said our future Prime Minister on May 5, 2022, during a visit to Greymouth.

So, why do we still see government job vacancies like this?

Te Mauri o Rongo – The New Zealand Health Charter

The foundation for how we ensure our people are empowered, safe and supported while

working to deliver a successful healthcare system, is Te Mauri o Rongo – the New Zealand Health Charter.

Te Mauri o Rongo consists of four pou (pillars) within it, including:

Wairuatanga – working with heart, the strong sense of purpose and commitment to service

Rangatiratanga – as organisations we support our people to lead. We will know our people; we will grow those around us and be accountable with them in contributing to Pai Ora for all.

Whanaungatanga – we are a team, and together a team of teams. Regardless of our role, we work together for a common purpose. We look out for each other and keep each other safe.

Te Korowai Āhuru – a cloak which seeks to provide safety and comfort to the workforce.

These values underpin how we relate to each other as we serve our whānau and communities.

Te Tiriti o Waitangi

Equity

Pee Kay writes he is from a generation where common sense, standards, integrity and honesty are fundamental attributes. This article was first published HERE

so incredibly disappointing

You see it because: Luxon is deceitful; Luxon is not in control; Luxon is a closet part-Maori; any combination of aforesaid options

It is truly "mumbo jumbo" to confuse most New Zealanders and or tourists visiting NZ.
I referenced my reputable Maori dictionary and found POU in various instructions as ; a post , pole, stake, support, teacher ,expert, a form of karakia, Norway rat, plunge in, fix, render immovable, fasten to a stake , elevate on poles, make a hole with a stake, establish a place, appoint, fix knowledge, direct , guide, pour out , a form of address to an aged person, father -in- law , mother-in-law, consumed , a tree.
It is perfectly fine to gabble or correspond unintelligently at home , however in a public space, hospital or medical situation it is unacceptable .

Phone call intercept Luxon:Mutu Iwi Chairs - Subject Latest Ad words. Hey Margaret, what do you think of our latest Health vacancy ad wording? Hi, Chris, - Not bad, could do with cutting out all the superfluous English crap tho'!

And, because he failed to "get us back on track" like he said he would. Instead, we are actively going in both the wrong and different directions. Disappointing - indeed, and certainly not worthy of our support.

This ad sounds like the usual neo-Marxist, critical theory, Commie drivel. Your boss will put you up against the wall for an ideology shakedown, and the rest of your "team" will shout you down if you "mis-speak".
Oh my poor New Zealand, how have we come to this?

The role is absolute bullshit.
So false, so contrived, so flagrantly , openly racist.

We trusted Luxon to stop this.
He has done nothing for 2.5 years.
He will probably spin more lies before the election.
Why would anyone believe him again and trust him ?

Why is the law not acting on what is clearly illegal to offer a job on the basis of race ?
Can you see the MSM headlines if only a European could apply for a job?

Even engineers have abandoned logic. Opening text from a job advert on Seek:

“The Diversity Agenda is about creating industries where everyone thrives - today and tomorrow. It's about ensuring pay gaps shrink, leadership is inclusive, and our workplaces reflect the diversity and vibrancy of Aotearoa.

The Diversity Agenda is an award-winning diversity and inclusion programme delivered in partnership by Te Ao Rangahau Engineering New Zealand, the Association of Consulting and Engineering New Zealand, and Te Kāhui Whaihanga the New Zealand Institute of Architects.”

Thank goodness I resigned from that organisation when it was MNZIE -- was it a premonition ? I presume that is now called Engineering New Zealand, in which case they have had a major structural failure in allowing such nonsense to proliferate. What would those Engineers John Hollings, Alex Stirrat, Robin Shepherd et al think of this current phobia for DEI, I wonder, or should it be IED
