Racism in New Zealand

Racism in New Zealand

In my honest opinion New Zealand is gradually becoming a more racist country as time goes by, with the modern day so-called “Maori Elite” as the main proponents, ably assisted by the mainstream media.

You may well ask why I hold that opinion and what is my reason for saying this.

The answer to that question would have to be that the main reason for this opinion is due to the Treaty of Waitangi.

Before you start to send out search and destroy parties looking for me just take a deep breath and listen to what I say in regard to this statement about the Treaty.

The Treaty is a simple document signed in simple times which if the explanation given by that revered elder Maori statesman, Sir Apirana Ngata- M.A. LLB. LIT.D, is to be considered true, made us all one people with equal rights as citizens of New Zealand.

In his book, the "Treaty of Waitangi” Sir Apirana Ngata prepared an English translation of the Treaty in 1922 that argued that the Chiefs had “cede (d) absolutely to the Queen of England for ever the Government of all their lands”.

He concluded with the words:

"The Treaty made the one law for the Maori and Pakeha. If you think these things are wrong and bad then blame our ancestors who gave away their rights in the days when they were powerful".

Prior to the signing of the Treaty, New Zealand suffered greatly from a different type of racism which rather than being based on race was in fact based on Tribalism.

Prior to the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi the rule of tikanga was followed and loyalty was for those in the hapu or iwi; all others were of no importance and could be robbed of land, killed, and eaten. War bred war, as frequently a group would escape a stronger tribe and move to attack another. Fighting was strengthened by the demand for revenge, utu, and the call to defend the mana of relations and ancestors.

Prior to the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi in 1840, the average life expectancy for Maori was mid-thirties; the tribes were constantly at war with one another and the Maori practised slavery and cannibalism as a common effect of their warlike practices.

In 1840, the Treaty of Waitangi was signed, an agreement between the British Crown and Maori which established British law in New Zealand.

One of the main drivers behind the signing of the Treaty was to protect the Maori population from inter-tribal warfare, the threat of invasion by other nations and to bring an end to the musket wars.

The Musket Wars were a series of as many as 3,000 battles and raids fought throughout New Zealand among Maori between 1807 and 1837, after Maori first obtained muskets and then engaged in an intertribal arms race in order to gain territory or seek revenge for past defeats.

It is believed that as many as 20,000 Maori may have died as a result of the musket wars. Tribal boundaries were also changed by the musket wars.

The Waitangi Tribunal was set up in 1975 to hear claims related to issues around the Treaty of Waitangi and also the actions of the early European settlers to NZ.

What began as a well-meaning effort to settle all such claims and offer an apology to those affected has since that time developed into nothing more than an industry that is focussed on claimants’ getting every last cent they are able to extract from the Crown (read taxpayers of NZ) for any and everything they can possibly dream up to make a claim in relation to.

The truth is that there was no real oppression of Maori within New Zealand and if the history is researched it is easily proven that since the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi, Maori have generally seen a vast improvement in their personal circumstances.

The Tribunal was originally about redress in relation to the actions of our first European settlers but has now ended up as a vehicle which is used to try to claim as much financial reward as possible and to give absolute power to a very small section of our population.

It has become a tool used to side-line democracy and to force the total population to accept that there is some unchallengeable right for Maori through their use of “Te Reo & Tikanga”, to have a right of veto (or power) over all other races which call NZ home.

Insistence on a separate Maori government has built up over the decades since the formation of the Waitangi Tribunal in 1975. The Tribunal has over time constructed and publicised a complete rewriting of history – the “retrospective recrimination” and “counterfactual history” of the Tribunal, quoting the words of historian Bill Oliver. This fundamental reversal of the message and meaning of the Treaty has been aided by a captive media and the crippling of free speech.

We now have what is a very small number of self-appointed so-called elite Iwi who are trying by any and every means at their disposal, to assert some sort of moral superiority over the rest of the NZ population and to try to gain power of control.

We are constantly being told that the Treaty of Waitangi created a partnership between the Crown and Maori and to fulfil this we need to adopt a system of Co-Governance with Maori.

These claims around the so-called Partnership & Co-Governance were given a huge boost by the Labour government lead by Jacinda Ardern with the preparation of the “He Pua Pua” report.

This whole idea of Co-Governance is nothing more than a racist attempt to gain control based on an erroneous interpretation of the Treaty.

Co-governance is not about the Treaty it is solely about control and getting the monetary benefits that go with having control. It’s about a small percentage of the population (approximately 17%) getting fifty percent of control based on their ethnicity and the others (approximately 83%) getting the rest.

We are told repeatedly by the so-called elite from Iwi that this is the only way forward to honour the Treaty.  But in fact this is nothing more than moving from the democratic system of government we have had since the signing of the Treaty to a system of racial discrimination where equality in government has no place as it will be replaced by a person’s ethnicity.

Over decades since the setting up of the Waitangi Tribunal, the so called Maori elite have gained positions of power and influence through division and deceit. The Waitangi Tribunal has morphed into an almost permanent commission of inquiry into contemporary breaches of the Treaty with jurisdiction extended to include already-settled historic claims and anything else that can be quantified, giving rise to what has become a multi-billion dollar Treaty gravy train.

It was also during this period of time that the claim that Maori are a Treaty ‘partner’ with the Crown gained traction, with special Maori consultation rights and privileges included in the new Resource Management Act; Although there was no mention anywhere in the Treaty that related to partnership.

What we have now is a system of ideological indoctrination which is cloaked in cultural empathy, enforced by social shame, and hidden behind a virtue signalling sea of Maori culture with many of our public servants scrambling to prove their cultural credentials and enforcing a cultural ideology across every aspect of national life rather than concentrating on delivering basic services.

The so-called elite have used Maori culture and Te Ao Maori (the Maori world view) to assert their claims, under the Treaty of Waitangi, to be given the right of co-governance when in actual fact there is no basis in truth for this assertion.

You’re not allowed to question it. You’re not allowed to ask for clarity. If you do, you’re dismissed as backward, racist, colonial; a problem to be fixed or, preferably, ignored.

And since there was no such thing as a properly functioning democracy either in England or in New Zealand in 1840, the question of “political rights” wasn’t an issue at the time. Are some people just trying to re-write the Treaty to suit their current agendas?

We’ve now got “Maori seats,” “Maori wards,” “iwi consultation panels,” etc. and in many areas you can’t take any actions until they have been checked and signed off by the local Iwi to ensure it will not offend some spiritual value that they may hold.

We also have many local bodies signing off on co-governance agreements as if they are making some magical step towards implementing Treaty requirements when in actual fact all they are really achieving is to introduce a race based bureaucracy which is nothing more than turning democracy into Apartheid under the name of Co-Governance.

And it doesn’t stop there; we’ve seen public health campaigns and education & science institutions redefining the very concept of knowledge to include Maori spiritual ideology. We’ve seen schoolchildren, most of whom aren’t Maori, and many whose families have different religious beliefs, forced to participate in spiritual ideology (karakia) multiple times a day as if they’re attending a religious school, not a secular public school.

By elevating Maori spiritual Ideology to sacred, unchallengeable status, above science, above secularism, above democratic consensus might make it feel good for those who wish to sing and speak in te reo, but it does nothing to ensure the provision of effective public services to either Maori nor non-Maori.

The Maorification of our public service bureaucracy is not about creating a shared heritage and a unifying shared modern culture, it’s solely about domination of the national direction, and with it comes a cultural outlook that most of us never consented to and get punished if we try to resist.

Attempts to racialise New Zealand through implementation of co-governance, has provoked significant public complaint. Government has a duty to uphold the Rule of Law and protect the democratic rights of all New Zealanders.

 And yet, here we are: using race-based politics and reinvented Treaty theology to alter the democratic systems which we have always stood on. It’s not a brave attempt to implement some erroneous interpretation of the Treaty of Waitangi, it’s just stupid.

The Treaty of Waitangi, whatever your view on it, was never intended to be a constitutional framework for 21st-century co-governance. It was a political compromise scribbled down to stop people from shooting each other.

But somewhere between the Waitangi Tribunal, the Supreme Court, and an endless supply of cultural consultants, we’ve managed to turn that Treaty into a magical entitlement factory—churning out “rights” that are rapidly making us the banana republic of the pacific.

New Zealand is fast becoming a textbook case in how to get it wrong; how to destroy a democratic system of government and eliminate any semblance of equality for all citizens.

Iwi’s multi-billion-dollar tribal business corporations have been granted a special exemption from the crucial ‘public interest’ test in charity law so they could achieve charitable trust status and avoid paying tax.

After approximately fifty years of working to weave racial privilege deep into the New Zealand’s legislative framework, Iwi leaders are not only fighting any attempts to remove that privilege but to also extend it as far and as fast as possible before the Coalition Government can enact legislation to reverse race-based laws and practices.

We are now seeing the consequences of decades of allowing vested interest groups committed to subverting democracy and seizing power for their own enrichment, to infiltrate all levels of government in New Zealand both central and local.

After fifty years of being allowed to virtually have their own way, tribal groups have become powerful and dangerous. They see themselves as de-facto rulers, and if things don’t go their way, they do not hesitate to bully and intimidate, demand and threaten, and with very deep pockets, resort to legal action through a ‘captured’ court system, until opponents cave in.

After gaining a simple majority result in the 2020 election, the Ardern Government through the use of their majority allowed the co-governance activists within the State sector to begin implementing Labour’s He Puapua agenda for tribal rule onto our nation.

In the He Puapua report which was prepared under the Labour Government there was a section titled “Vision 2040” that set out the intention of having two separate, racially defined, government structures; New Zealand being broken apart, with no pretence of inclusivity or equality.

The Maori Party (which claims falsely, to represent the Maori population of NZ) and the self-appointed so-called tribal elite of Iwi are pushing to go back and reinstate a system of race based governance as seen in that He Puapua document.

Maori make up 12.3% of the population that is of voting age yet the Maori Party only managed to gain 2.8% of the vote in the last election.

The 2019 He Puapua report to Government (based on a report to the Iwi Chairs Forum, Matike Mai) became known to the public in 2021.

The implementation of some of the He Puapua recommendations has already begun to create two systems based on racial division. Maori language and culture has begun dominating public affairs with key institutions ‘captured’, including the public service and wider State sector, the courts, the mainstream media, and many private organisations.

New Zealanders have only recently become increasingly aware that a tribal takeover is underway.

The Maori Party are the worst enemy of our democracy with their daily activities promoting treason, rebellion, division, separatism and lying hate-filled propaganda and indoctrination.

They claim to be the indigenous people of NZ but Maori are NOT indigenous to New Zealand they arrived by boat like everyone else;

The Co-leader of Te Pati Maori Rawiri Waititi has said : “Caucasian (white people) as a species are doomed to extinction as a new Aotearoa is on the rise.”

If anyone tries to make a stand against their racist agenda they respond with threats.

Power has definitely gone to their heads; to the point where they actually imagine they are elitist and have made the outrageous claim that Maori are, quote . . . . A genetically superior race!

It was partly as a result of this situation that prior to the 2023 election the current Coalition Government parties promised to reverse race-based laws and practices.

Stopping the tribal takeover is what National, ACT and New Zealand First promised to do when they agreed to prioritise “Ending race-based policies” in their Coalition Agreement.

There can be no mature discussion about our future as a country until everybody accepts that the Treaty provided for the government to have final authority, with all citizens - no matter their ancestry - having equal rights.

We must stop being afraid to say it. This is not just wrong. It is corrosive. A separatist political model based on racial ancestry belongs in 19th-century Apartheid South Africa, not 21st-century New Zealand.
