One Nation - Two
Worlds
I
recently received documents under the Official Information
Act, which outline the “two-world view” ideology
underpinning the Housing New Zealand Corporation.
The “Housing New Zealand Way” consists of a
Maori world-view and a Crown world-view.
According
to HNZ’s Chief Executive, the Two-World View:
“is
based on an acknowledgement that the two Treaty partners have
different ways of looking at the world including beliefs,
values and experience. By looking from both of these
perspectives we can develop a two-world view for the
Corporation, which will underpin the way HNZC operates
internally and the way we develop relationships externally.”
In
her memo to staff, written after 14 senior managers had spent
two days at a hui organised to develop a clearer approach to
the Treaty and internal Maori capability, she states: “we
are only at the beginning of a long and really interesting
journey”.
This
is a journey that has already cost taxpayers millions of
dollars in consultants, meetings, hui, travel and
accommodation, as well as race-based training and recruitment.
The
base-line budget for advancing the two-world view is around
$200,000 a year – but on top of that are marae costs,
external facilitation and general expenses relating to
kaumatua, advisors and special committees, which annually add
hundreds of thousands of dollars more onto the cost.
Further,
significant money is earmarked for Maori housing initiatives,
including the Rural Housing Programme:
“capital
expenditure over the life of the programme is planned to be
approximately $100 million in addition to approximately $80
million operating expenditure”.
Included in this programme are Maori in sub-standard
houses who left urban areas to return to ancestral land but
apparently “do not have enough money to buy or rent quality
housing, or to maintain and repair existing housing to an
acceptable standard”.
The
Corporation expects 2,500 households to benefit over the next
five years.
While
I understand that a Two-World View methodology may be rife
throughout the public service, the reality is that the vast
majority of New Zealanders do not want a divided country.
Instead, they want a nation that celebrates differences
but unites us as one people working, living and playing
together. The
sort of racist, politically correct brainwashing being
promoted by the Labour Government is the antithesis of that.
In
the training materials, for example, the view is being
promoted that – as a result of the signing of the Treaty of
Waitangi – Maori:
“might
reasonably have expected” that “they would remain
the majority, with an ongoing trickle of migrants rather than
a flood” and that “the bulk of the country would
still belong to the tribes, which would rule themselves as
they wished, with some pakeha settlers there by agreement and
observing Maori law”.
The
staff training booklet goes on to describe what Maori actually
got, including:
“the
deliberate undermining and destruction of Maori authority and
social systems; an imposed Pakeha government making laws for
all without reference to Maori needs; discriminatory
laws designed to transfer the land and resources to Pakeha and
to deny Maori an effective voice; and widespread racial
discrimination against them”.
Under
the two-world view, Maori could look forward to:
“self-determination
for Maori; return of Crown controlled resources unjustly
alienated from Maori owners and negotiated compensation to
Maori for such resources which are no longer in Crown control
(does this mean all private assets?); and compensation for
past and present dependency, poverty and discrimination by
policies aimed at equity, including affirmative action in
training, job appointments etc until there is real equity”.
While
the Housing Minister has denied that all HNZC staff must go
through these training programs, the OIA states that
competence in this material:
“is
a core requirement at least for all operational jobs, arguably
for all jobs”. It explains that “as part of the
selection process, internal candidates are expected to achieve
a rating of at least 3 out of 5 and external candidates 4 out
of 5”.
All
of this flies in the face of public assurances by the Prime
Minister and other Ministers that they are not giving special
privilege to Maori. In
reality, it means that, for the first time in public service
history, we have a government that has introduced recruitment
and promotion policies based on racial ideology: unless a
staff member buys into the Labour Party’s Maori grievance
world-view and politically correct agenda, they cannot work
for HNZC.
The
political correctness indoctrination is so advanced that the
training manual has pages of “transformational
vocabulary”, which states that certain words should not be
used but should be replaced by others.
For example: ‘confused’ should be replaced by
‘curious’, ‘afraid’ by ‘uncomfortable’,
‘furious’ by ‘passionate’, ‘disgusted’ by
‘surprised’, and if someone believes ‘it stinks’ then
instead they must say ‘it is aromatic’, and if they are
‘pissed off’ instead they should be ‘tinkled’!
Labour’s
Two-World View is promoting racial discrimination.
Not only should it be immediately scrapped, but it
would not surprise me to learn of staff members – or
potential employees – who are taking claims to the
Employment Court, because they had their reasonable career
expectations curtailed through their failure to subscribe to
the outrageous racial discrimination and re-writing of history
being promoted by this government agency.
If you know of anyone who is in this situation, please
ask them to contact me.
