Roger Childs: More and more Jacinda government racial division, separatism and favouritism

In the month of August there have been two developments further increasing division in our society along racial lines. One relates to local government and the other to sport. The Canterbury Regional Council (Ngāi Tahu Representation) Act will allow the tribe to appoint two members to the elected Council. There are no special seats for Asian, Pasifika or any other non-Maori people.

In sport, concern about the lack of Maori involved in sport has the government throwing over a million dollars at it.
