Democracy & Meritocracy Vs Cultural Beliefs

Democracy & Meritocracy Vs Cultural Beliefs

New Zealand has gone from a democratic system of governance where all citizens are equal regardless of Race, Colour or Creed to where we are now accepting that Cultural Beliefs must be followed due to some crazy interpretations of the Treaty of Waitangi which was signed in 1840.

We have got to the stage where we expect our professionals and trades people to exhibit knowledge of cultural beliefs before they are able to be certified as competent in their selected occupations.

There have been so many cases where licencing authorities have demanded that candidates pass a cultural awareness course before they will issue any certifications that it has almost become just an accepted situation and nobody can protest because the minute they do they are branded as racists and denied the issue of any required certification.

Our Coalition Government made many promises from the constituent parties, (both before and after the election) that they would make every effort to eliminate racial preferences from government decision making, in a commitment to equal citizenship under New Zealand’s democratic system of government. 

Yet we still see groups lobbying for Maori supremacy in most areas of government and whilst I agree with the principle of the Iwi being able to have input or engagement this should never be achieved by way of race based statutory obligations.

Iwi, along with the other 190 odd ethnic groups within NZ society, should have an equal right to representation but this right in no way should ever give them a greater level of representation than any other ethnic group. To do so would be akin to implementing a system of apartheid, a system of government that NZ’s have fought against for many years.

Under the previous Labour Government race, gender, and sexuality were primary considerations when hiring into the public service.

Through the special ‘Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion’ (DEI) clauses in the 2020 Public Services Act recruiting prioritised identity rather than merit, and as a result, state institutions were almost overrun with activists pushing their ideological agendas. A large proportion of the approximately 19,000 additional Public Service staff recruited during those Labour years were DEI hires.

The emergence of Labour’s He Puapua agenda to introduce tribal governance resulted in a rapid escalation in the number of highly paid Maori managers. For example, the number employed by Statistics New Zealand – an agency that signed a co-governance deal with iwi leaders to help ‘massage’ census data – rose from zero in 2017 to 26 percent in 2023, and in the Ministry of Culture and Heritage the numbers increased from zero to 29 percent.

The Coalition government, which we elected to protect us from the dangerous propaganda and extremist agenda that was put in place by Jacinda Ardern and her Labour government, forcing’ private sector organisations to become agents of radical indoctrination – pushing the race-based lies that Maori did not cede sovereignty, that New Zealanders are racist, and that tribal leaders are in partnership with the Crown; is standing by and doing nothing.

Is it any wonder Kiwi voters are feeling disillusioned?

It should be one of the coalition government’s most important objectives to legislate against discrimination on the basis of race, gender or sexuality.

As a result, under the Labour government, of the explosion of DEI initiatives and the integration of the fabricated Treaty “partnership” culture throughout the state sector; NZ’s democratic systems became overrun with race based regulation.

A classic example of this is seen in the 2020 Education and Training Act which became a tool used to indoctrinate children. From pre-school to tertiary level, the focus of education was transformed from academic excellence and achievement to knowledge of Maori rights and the Treaty.

With many so-called tribal elite leaders pressing for co-governance of our country, the Labour government used its total majority in the parliament to push for inclusion of Maori privilege under the fabricated Treaty “partnership”, across both government departments other organisations which relied on the government for registration.

To the dismay of voters, the 2023 election and change in Government has not stopped these separatists’ from attempting to transform New Zealand into a race based society under the name of “Aotearoa”.

The 24,000 incorporated societies listed with the company’s office are required to re-register with a new constitution by April 2026 as a result of Labour’s 2022 changes to the Incorporated Societies Act.

Tens of thousands of private groups throughout the country are being pressured into adopting new constitutions based on the Treaty – even though Treaty obligations are the sole responsibility of the Crown, not the private sector.

As a result, organisations like the New Zealand real Estate Authority; the New Zealand Law Society; the New Zealand Pharmaceutical Council now require the indoctrination of members through anti-racism training, with many also requiring the prioritisation of Maori over all other ethnicities, as seen in the New Zealand Health Service “Te Whatu Ora” proposal which includes an Equity Adjustor Score which has been embedded into our health system.

Until this racist system was implemented, under the Code of Disability and Consumer Rights, we had a health system that legislated for equal services and access for all races, as required by the UN Declaration of Principles on Human Rights, the Declaration of Commonwealth Principles, and the New Zealand Bill of Rights.

But with the introduction of the Equity Adjustor Score from Te Whatu Ora, we have had discrimination on racial grounds firmly embedded into our health system.

Some surgeons have said that the new scoring tool was medically indefensible. They said patients should be prioritised on how sick they were, how urgently they needed treatment, and how long they had been waiting for it - not on their ethnicity.

The New Zealand College of Midwives distributed a ‘Tangata Tiriti Checklist’ flyer to its members, which asked non-Māori midwives to agree to ‘actively and vocally oppose the Treaty Principles Bill’. However the responsibility of a midwife should be to the patient – not to the Treaty, mana whenua, or any political campaign.

The flyer also suggested midwives comply with statements like ‘I actively seek opportunities to share power with, or cede power to mana whenua’, ‘I strategise and work with local mana whenua on Tiriti justice’, and ‘I support a Tiriti centred constitution for Aotearoa-New Zealand’.

We also see the internet domain registration body, “InternetNZ”, has a proposed systemically racist, new constitution that will embrace co-governance with Maori activists.

Such madness could, of course, be stopped if members of these organisations simply stood together and objected as a group, but as we’ve seen with the Real Estate Authority, the Teaching Profession, the Law Society etc.; the majority prefer the safety of silence instead of risking their livelihoods by voicing their concerns.

The long-term impact of DEI hiring – no longer employing the best person for a job but filling identity quotas instead – has not only lowered New Zealand’s productivity performance, but it also risks tragedies when employees without the right skill set are given crucial responsibilities beyond their capability.

Furthermore, by discriminating against people on the basis of race, gender and sexuality, it dangerously undermines New Zealanders’ right to equality before the law.

But instead of stepping up and dealing with these growing concerns, the PM and his coalition government continue to turn a blind eye to these policies.

International students at Auckland University are being charged up to $5,730 for a compulsory Treaty of Waitangi course which is damaging the university’s reputation and discouraging international enrolment.

The course, part of the university’s new ‘Waipapa Taumata Rau’ (WTR) curriculum, is mandatory for all first-year undergraduates and covers particular views on Māori knowledge systems, history, and Te Tiriti o Waitangi.

For students who speak English as a second language and only plan to stay in New Zealand for their degree, they gain no practical benefit from being forced to study local belief systems for what is no more than indoctrination and also a perversion of academic freedoms.

There has been much criticism of its faculty-wide mandate given that Professors are usually free to criticise course material, but this is different; it’s being imposed for political rather than educational purposes.

We also see that there is now an insidious push to insert Tikanga Maori into the Justice system but Tikanga Maori isn’t law; it’s race based spiritual belief, and as such has no place in our legal system.

If people want to believe in ancestral spirits that should be their prerogative, but it should never be included into legislation.

Tikanga is a spiritual worldview. It’s not universal, not measurable, and not objective. It's about feelings, vibes, and inherited mythology — the legal equivalent of consulting a ouija board. You can't debate it, you can't question it, and you can't even define it half the time, and if you try you are immediately branded a racist.

It should be one of government’s most important objectives to legislate against discrimination on the basis of race, gender or sexuality.

A senior, highly respected King’s Counsel with decades of experience in our law courts, Gary Judd KC, filed a complaint about COMPULSORY tikanga Māori studies for law students - highlighting the utter depths of absurdity this WOKE CULTURAL MADNESS has taken our society.

The tikanga regulations will COMPEL law students to be taught that a system, which does not conform with the rule of law, is nevertheless law which should be observed and applied.

As Judd KC pointed out in his complaint - TIKANGA IS NOT LAW.

Law students should not be force fed this kind of woke indoctrination from some culture warrior’s slanted version of what tikanga means.

What is most concerning is the Dean of the AUT Law School, Kylee Quince, funded by the taxpayer, decided to typically stoop to a gutter level and call Judd an ‘old racist dinosaur’ who should ‘die quietly in the corner’.

This is from someone who is in charge of teaching our law students.

HOW HAS THIS KIND OF INSIPID, CANCEROUS, WOKE INDOCTRINATION TAKEN HOLD WITHIN OUR EDUCATION SYSTEM?

Judd KC pointed out what is written in law, and that the ridiculous compulsion to indoctrinate students with irrelevant cultural interpretations has no reason being part of a law degree.

I don’t know about you but when I want to hire a professional or tradesperson to work for me; undergo a medical procedure; undertake an educational course; I don’t care about the providers race, gender or sexuality, or understanding of Tikanga Maori, what I want to know is are they competent to carry out the task that I am hiring them to complete.

Yet we seem to be almost falling over ourselves in our haste to adopt the racist indoctrination of persons based on cultural beliefs under the mistaken thought that this is a requirement of the Treaty and that it will bring NZ’s closer together.

But in actual fact all that this is doing is to push various racial groups further apart. Make no bones about it the racial division currently being promoted through indoctrination into cultural beliefs under the guise of Co-Governance, is a large influencing factor in whether our young people and top talent stay in NZ or leave and will have a huge impact on the economic future of New Zealand.

In my honest opinion, contrary to the views of the Prime Minister, this issue will have a huge bearing on the outcome of the next election which is due in approximately eighteen months.

The country voted out Labour in 2023; they voted for change hoping to see the new government remove the race based policies of the previous Labour government.

But instead of stepping up and dealing with these growing concerns, the PM and his coalition government continue to turn a blind eye to these policies.

Luxon and the Coalition Government should look closely at the example of the recent Inauguration of Donald J Trump as the 47^th President of the United States.

President Trump acknowledged at his Inauguration which was held on Martin Luther King Day: “In his honour, we will strive together to make his dream a reality” and he pledged: “We will forge a society that is colour blind and merit based.”

That is essentially what our Coalition promised when they were elected. But they have a long way to go to achieve that goal.

With National’s current pro-Maori ideology they have let New Zealand down, they were voted in to restore one law for all and racial equality, which they seem to think, is not one of the priorities for New Zealand today.

The economy will fluctuate with or without help, but unless the Coalition leadership decides to make good on their pre-election promises to take race out of all legislation, abolish separatist Maori representation (both local and central) they are destined to become a one term government.
