Yet, the headlines remain small, the fanfare muted, and the critics silent.
Why the sudden media silence? The answer is simple: journalists are terrified of criticising a Maori centric policy, and even more terrified of admitting that it looks like taxpayer funds are being used to openly buy votes.
The Green Party’s massive new $2.44 billion election policy raises a critical question: is there any real difference left between the Greens and the Maori Party?
When Chloe claims “te Tiriti is forever,” it begs the obvious assumption that she means whichever version delivers the greatest political advantage.
Consider the numbers around this issue; the New Zealand Lottery Grants Boardhavealready handed the Oranga Marae committee over $42.3 million for the 2025/2026 financial year alone to upgrade and maintain marae’s around the country! That is $42.3 million of yours and my tax dollars.
How much more taxpayer money is required?
Well I can tell you. As I posted on June 1, https://nominister.wordpress.com/2026/06/01/this-is-only-the-tip-of-a-very-large-iceberg/ , the Oranga Marae committee has been allocated a spectacular total of $182,381,988 over the last five financial years from the Lottery Grants Board.
Surely that says that marae’s certainly do not need an additional $2.44 billion? Yet Chloe and Marama seem to think so! Is a marae near you truly the “living heart of your community?”
While the Green leadership dresses this up as a “community investment,” it looks like nothing more than an expensive vote-catcher.
But whose votes are they actually chasing? The only real question left is which electorate they are trying to buy? Their own or the Maori Party’s?
This $2.44 billion “donation” isn’t about community infrastructure is it; it’s a desperate, taxpayer-funded undertaking to buy votes.
Why aren’t the media asking the Greens if they are serving New Zealanders, or just subsidising and aligning themselves with the Maori Party’s agenda?
Make no mistake, many, mainly left-wing faithful, will still defend and praise this blatant political bribe.
If you vote Green expecting genuine environmental policy, you should feel short-changed. This isn’t environmental leadership; it is a cynical, socialist, multi-billion-dollar surrender of the Green identity to affiliate with radical coalition partners!
Aahh, I see it now! This is part of the Greens wealth-redistribution scheme, in this instance, only a certain ethnicity benefits!
