Below is the video to Jacksons interview with Jack Tame where he talks about introducing co-governance under a new guise. It is around the 23 minute mark that Willie expounds his views on co-governance.

When I listen to Willie Jackson blathering on about the poor treatment Māori supposedly receive from the current government, I can but shake my head in disbelief that this individual was once, and could again be, responsible for drafting laws and dispensing billions in taxpayer funds. It simply beggars belief.
Jackson’s performance on Q&A exposes a deeply troubling reality. Behind Jacksons aggressive rhetoric and imagined grievances lies a staggering lack of policy substance. During his time in cabinet, Jackson championed a divisive ideological agenda that prioritised identity politics over measurable outcomes, leaving taxpayers to foot the bill for bureaucratic expansion that did little to improve the daily lives of everyday Maori.
This brand of politics from Jackson, and therefore Labour, is not just inept; it is fundamentally dangerous. It sets out to actively erode social cohesion, replacing democratic principles with a fragmented system of governance that pits New Zealanders against one another based on race. Is this the way you want New Zealand to be?
If the Labour Party manages to regain the treasury benches, the country faces a genuine danger. A return to power for this party means a return to unaccountable spending, the revival of co-governance models that lack a public mandate in any shape or form, and the further entrenchment of a separate, race-based legal and constitutional framework.
Jackson’s inane rhetoric is a great warning sign of what lies ahead! Do you want a government driven by ideological arrogance rather than competent management, threatening to permanently fracture the country’s social fabric and derail its economic future?
I certainly don’t!
