In 1979 a group of Maori sovereignty activists visited Cuba and began collaborating with representatives of the Palestine Liberation Front. An adaptation of the PLF’s ‘Strategy for the Liberation of Palestine’ became a template for a radical agenda to gain political control of New Zealand.
Two strategies formed the basis of their blueprint.
Through biculturalism, which divided society along racial lines, they aimed to redesign the country’s institutions to prioritise Maori language and culture, by embedding activists within the government service to change the system from within, and over time they wanted all land returned to Maori.
Then, by reinterpreting the Treaty of Waitangi as a ‘partnership’, they set the scene for co-governance and Maori control of decision-making.
It is hard to believe just how effective their divisive plan has been.
One of the movement’s original leaders, who visited Cuba and was at the forefront of protest action, is now the Deputy Chairman of TVNZ.
Furthermore, it is now virtually impossible to escape the oppressive influence of tribalism in this country – whether at sporting events, cultural functions, or meetings, the sovereignty agenda dominates. Since any attempt to stop them dictating proceedings invokes accusations of racism, bullying, even threats of violence, almost everyone panders to their demands.
The Coalition Government, however, was elected with a mandate to turn things around – including ensuring State institutions return to using the English language first, with Maori second.
But a quick browse around public sector websites, shows many agencies have taken no notice of the Coalition’s directives.
The Council for Educational Research, which operates under the auspices of the Minister of Education, is a case in point. It still goes under the name Rangahau Matauranga o Aotearoa, it still uses pidgin English: “Whakatere tōmua is our mahi…”, and with “decolonising education” listed as one of its key priorities, there are concerns that this agency is still delivering He Puapua – the former Labour Government’s radical sovereignty agenda.
Or what about the Minister of Conservation Tama Potaka? How committed is he to Coalition goals when he not only prioritises Maori names and phrases in his communications, but is also proposing to strengthen Maori as ‘partners’ in managing the DOC estate – one of a series of initiatives that are presently undergoing public consultation HERE.
The reality is that blatant breaches of Coalition policy raise concerns about how committed they really are about unwinding the radicalisation of State institutions instigated by the Office of Maori Crown Relations – an agency established by the Ardern Government in collaboration with iwi leaders. By infiltrating the State sector with the requirement to “Actively promote the principles of Partnership, Participation and Active Protection under Te Tiriti o Waitangi acknowledging Māori as a Te Tiriti partner”, the framework was set for Maori sovereignty to flourish.
The Maori version of the Treaty – Te Tiriti o Waitangi – which has been redefined to suit their purpose, underpins their strategy.
That’s why the NZCPR distributed a million copies of Sir Apirana Ngata’s 1922 explanation of the original meaning of the Maori version of the Treaty to New Zealand households – and why we are currently sending out thousands more. We wanted the public to see for themselves that in spite of activist claims, the Maori version of the Treaty contains no reference to principles nor partnerships and is explicit about the fact that Maori ceded sovereignty to the Queen.
The embedding of the Treaty partnership concept did not stop at state agencies. The next target was organisations that rely on the Government for funding (like the media through the Public Interest Journalism Fund) and registration (like Real Estate Agents).
Now their focus is on 24,000 private sector incorporated societies. In 2022, Labour updated the Incorporated Societies Act, requiring all existing societies to re-register with a new constitution by April 2026. This is providing an opportunity for groups as diverse as the Blind Foundation to pétanque clubs to be infiltrated with Treaty clauses.
Thousands of organisations throughout the country are now being asked to authorise new constitutions that include “Te Tiriti o Waitangi” provisions, even though obligations regarding the Treaty are the sole responsibility of the Crown – not local government nor the private sector.
Unless the Coalition issues an instruction to societies explaining there is no requirement to include Treaty clauses in their constitution, there is a real risk that these organisations will become ‘captured’ by Maori sovereignty activists.
Back in 2010, Chris Trotter outlined what can happen to organisations that become ‘captured’. He described the fate of the once highly successful charity Corso, which had been established in New Zealand in 1944 to provide clothing and footwear to millions of people around the world:
“Throughout the 1980s Corso was steadily infiltrated and eventually taken over by radical Maori nationalists. Led by the Harawira family, the radicals insisted that Corso recognise and promote tino rangatiratanga – the Maori right to self-determination. To prove its bona fides to the cause of the tangata whenua, Corso was also required to devote two-thirds of its income to Maori projects. When Corso workers and supporters objected to this takeover they were subjected to withering criticism – it was much easier to leave than to fight. By 1990, the organisation was little more than a hollowed-out shell. New Zealand’s largest and most successful home-grown aid organisation had been destroyed: initially, by ideological extremism; and finally, by radical Maori nationalism.”
To avoid anything similar happening in the future, society members need to reject the inclusion of Treaty or partnership clauses in their new constitutions on the basis that there’s no official requirement for them to be included. All such references should be removed, and if sovereignty advocates oppose such a course of action, a ballot of all members should be requested.
The Rugby Union has shown only too graphically where Treaty clauses can lead. In their case, their constitution contains the provision: “NZRU acknowledges the status of Māori as tangata whenua in New Zealand and Te Tiriti ō Waitangi as the founding document of Aotearoa New Zealand.”
The recent controversy over a pre-match haka being used to support the radical activism of the Maori Party, signals a line has been crossed from sport into politics, with the All Blacks becoming a de-facto advocate for Parliament’s most radical party.
The Maori Party has, of course, revealed their strategy to gain the balance of power in Parliament: grow the number of Maori seats from 7 to 20, by encouraging Maori to sign onto the Maori electoral roll. This was the primary purpose of their “hikoi” – they not only gained a database of 200,000 from an online petition, but more than 3,000 voters also signed onto the Maori roll. This will likely result in the number of Maori seats in Parliament increasing from 7 to 8, with the number of list seats decreasing correspondingly.
Support for Maori sovereignty is also evident throughout the justice system, with judicial activism now apparent at the very highest levels of our courts.
This is the reason behind the need for amending legislation to the Marine and Coastal Area Act. While Parliament set a high bar for applicants seeking Customary Title to our coast – by requiring claimed areas to be held exclusively and continuously since 1840 – Judges ignored Parliament’s intentions and opened the door to Maori control of the entire coastline.
While the Coalition Government is now amending the law to reaffirm Parliament’s intention, the strengthened law only applies to those claims that have yet to be decided by the courts.
With most of the Customary Title awards under the old law still under appeal, the Government has left it to the Supreme Court to determine their fate.
During last month’s Supreme Court hearing, we argued that Parliament’s intention had always been clear, and that the lower Courts deliberately misrepresented the law. In order, therefore, to ensure that all claims under the Marine and Coastal Area Act are determined by exactly the same criteria, we recommended that all cases under appeal should now be returned to the High Court and retried under Parliament’s strengthened law.
The Supreme Court judgment is due to be released on Monday. If it dismisses our appeal and sides with the activist judges in the lower courts, then it too will be thumbing its nose at Parliament.
Should that be the case, the Coalition should introduce an amendment as a Supplementary Order Paper during the Committee Stages of the bill to send all claims under appeal back to the High Court to be retried under the amended law.
The importance of having an independent party acting in the public interest in the claims process cannot be overstated. Without it, no one would be challenging Maori groups claiming title, and no one would be challenging activist judges who are disrespecting Parliament by bending over backwards to give control of the coast to Maori. In particular, it is of crucial importance to be a participant in the first case under a new law, to ensure the Courts interpret it as Parliament intended.
It was only through our involvement in that first Edwards case under the old law that we were able to raise the alarm about the disaster that would have unfolded if the law hadn’t been changed.
We now believe it’s imperative that we repeat the exercise and join in the first case under the amended law to ensure it works as Parliament intends. To do this, however, we will require support – if you are able to assist us in this challenge, we would be very grateful: please click HERE to help.
The Treaty of Waitangi has been a point of contention for as long as it has existed. The problem now however is the degree to which young Maori in particular have been radicalised against the establishment and brainwashed into believing a litany of lies about the Treaty. That too was a long-term strategy of the 1979 Maori sovereignty activists – and they have well and truly achieved their goal.
This week’s NZCPR Guest Commentator is Anthony Willy, a former Judge and Law Lecturer, who, through his comprehensive analysis of the sovereignty controversy, explains:
“It was not until the 1970s when the first stirrings among a group of closet Marxist inspired Maori activists, that a debate emerged concerning the of the meaning of the ‘Treaty’ – a document, which is not recognised at International Law as a treaty for the simple reason it was not made between sovereign states… It has since matured into the belated notion that somehow the 1840 document created a political system in New Zealand in which persons of Maori descent can claim that they ‘in partnership with the Crown’ have the right to exercise Sovereignty over all New Zealanders.
“The notion is bizarre… It defies thousands of years of human history, not to mention the clear provisions of our Constitution Act which provide that the Sovereign power in New Zealand is the British Monarch acting with the advice and consent of our democratically elected Parliament. Certainly, such a notion of shared governance cannot exist in the modern highly sophisticated society in which we all live and are bound by the laws by which we are all governed.”
What has become evident in this whole debate about Maori sovereignty, is that the strategy adapted from the Palestine Liberation Front revolutionaries has been very effective in laying the foundations for tribal rule here in New Zealand.
The former Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and her Labour government made things much worse: through an act of the gross betrayal they implemented the secret He Puapua agenda of radicalised Maori, weaponising State institutions to deliver sovereignty goals.
And that’s the reality we now face – unless the Coalition steps up and forces the removal of Treaty clauses, not only in legislation but in constitutions and operational protocols throughout the State sector, the Maori sovereignty movement will continue to march on.

THIS WEEK’S POLL COMMENTS
There is clear evidence that Maori sovereignty is their intention and their plan is to encourage all Maori to enrol in the Maori Roll to strengthen their political presence in Parliament with the hope of dominating the electorate’s preference by providing a king maker role to the Maori Party to influence any coalition negotiations. This influence in the electoral process will certainly undermine our society’s freedom in the electoral outcome. | terrence |
The treaty needs to end. Maori settlements are like a revolving door once settled they revisit the trough & claim again. Wake up New Zealanders before it’s too late. | Derek |
We are in great danger of being ruled by very angry,, ignorant people who are in fact fighting their own ancestors now that they have only a smaller porrtion of maori in their bloodlines. | susan |
Absolootly Racism | Greg |
I am disappointed with our present government for their lack of being outspoken against the maorification of our country | Theo |
Racism perpetuated by politicians of all parties | Wayne |
Te Tiriti enabled everyone to immigrate here.International law recognises treaties written in indigenous languages as binding. It is the crowns business to honour te Tiriti . | Karen |
There should only be one Electoral Roll in New Zealand. It is ludicrous that half of Maori are on one and the other half on another. Why do National keep on supporting apartheid in this country? | Monica |
Maori want complete control of NZ and the bullying Maori Party is on track to achieve this by getting political power in parliament and taking over the government. The recent intimidating haka in parliament, eyeballing David Seymour over The Treaty Principles Bills, is a sign of more such behaviour to come. Every facet of our society is now being undermined by the Maori agenda for NZ society whether it’s a karakia to their gods, place names now in Maori or flying the Maori flag! | Virginia |
At rapid pace it’s frightening and the average NZer is either disinterested or has no idea. | Jan |
so blatantly stupid | Craig |
Not only undermining, it,s also overwhelming the concept that NZ is a democracy. | Roger |
YES, IT IS PASSED TIME THAT ALL THIS MAORI CRAP STOPS, IF THIS GOVERNMENT DOE’S NOT GET CRACKING AND DO WHAT THEY SAID THEY WERE GOING TO DO.IT COULD BE A VERY SHORT TERM GOVERNMENT AS THE GENERAL PUBLIC OF THIS GREAT COUNTRY WILL NOT LET THIS CARRY ON AND MOST LIKELY TAKE THINGS INTO THEIR OWN HANDS TO FIX IT ONCE AND FOR ALL. | COLIN |
Stop the rot now. Lancing the boil is better done sooner than later when it will be more painful. Abolish the Waitangi Tribunal and get rid of the Maori Seats in Parliament. | Alan |
We as kiwis,haveto stop participating in our ‘selected’ UN/WEF/WHO, plebecite election every 3 years. Ardern /Hipkins fixed their racist UN/NWO, in place, they think these racist rules are still acceptable….They think COVID/WHO rules have gone, they are living in Lah,lah ,land, they are sadly deluded, Part 2 and 3 are well underway, with the racial maori agenda well underway.Many kiwis, that took the poison bio-vaxes are brainwashed, with the racial .P.R programme, taken now for ‘NORMAL.’….how wrong they are, with lots more of their agenda, coming in 2025…better get PREPARED!!! | David |
I am a Maori Voter. | Denis |
Yes, we all need to come together, not be divided. | Jim |
I sure do,the country is becoming divided | Peter |
It is creating resentment & distrust between Maori and Pakeha | Percy |
And its getting worse!!! | Michelle |
In these current times (21st Century) history in the not to distant future will recount either the survival of all the world’s free Western Democratic Systems or their demise. In New Zealand’s case the seed of attack against our western styled common law democratic rule started with a small group of radicalised Maori students that were mainly centred in Auckland about the early 1970’s. These individuals gained assistance from the PLO at that time as to how best to play the long game. This included in infecting the gullible to be sucked in to their nefarious cause as a righteous morality situation. The aim of course is eventually being successful in demolishing our free Westminster democratic rule of law to become a tribal led Marxist system. If New Zealand’s citizens are happy to go along with this then so be it. If we are not happy then the ball is in our court. However we need knowledgeable dedicated proponents to the subversive separatist’s movement to organise competing rallies throughout the country in support of the ACT Party’s Waitangi Principles bill. We cannot rely on just participating in our nation’s general plebiscite every 3yrs. The Ardern government came so close to embedding Tribal Marxist laws to become the grim sovereign law in this country. We who identify as ordinary New Zealanders just cannot let this happen. We need to make this clear to the spineless national party part of our Government that we the public require all this nonsense in regards to Maori separatism to be corrected. To be instead as intended by the original tribal Chiefs who would be turning in their graves at the current on going shenanigans and failures of tribal leaders to ensure that all tribal members started life with proper educational activities. They have been so disrespectful to the chiefs of old and to all current Maori who just want to get on with their lives in the same way as the rest of all us New Zealanders do. After all we New Zealander’s in the main know how lucky we are to live in relative peace with a very high standard of living that the majority of the world’s population would just love to have emulated in their countries. | Garry. |
especially as non are full pure Maori blood. | Des |
Maori activists want to destroy NZ though they will deny it. They are following the UN and WEF agenda to the Tee. They have benn well trainedf in the art of BS, and the media are their lap dogs. Unless more people are woken up, and soon, thsi lovely country will be lost and lapse into ruin, their ultimate goal. WE will prevail. | Alan |
Every one should be equal under the law .This pandering to Maori has to stop | Brian |
The blame rests at the foot of past governments and present. History ignorant, arrogant, intimidated,, stupid and foolish. Not looking at what is best for our beautiful country, allowing our democracy to slide into muddy waters. Shame on them. When are we going to get politicians with a back bone and integrity. Maybe NZ First/ Act | steve |
As always, the smallest group is the loudest and most disruptive and given plenty of free airtime to do it | James |
I would be leaving the country if I was 30 years younger. I fear our democracy is lost. | Allan |
how can a 38 page booklet full of mistruths be allowed to distribute to every High school in NZ Dec 2024. | doug |
Yes and it will not end up and should not end up, by doing anything other than what benefits the whole population. | Maurice |
The opposite, it’s bringing people together. Unlike this research aka propaganda machine. Here’s what ChatGPT said about the article: In summary, the factual basis (He Puapua’s existence, changes to Maori ward legislation, and iwi involvement in local governance and RMA processes) is correct, but the author’s interpretations are heavily slanted. The article presents a partisan narrative that many would argue lacks the nuance, historical context, and balanced perspective necessary for a fair assessment of these policy changes. | David |
The Coalition Government is going back on its mandate to return NZ back to one country. Equal rights for all New Zealanders | Gayr |
Finally the push back has started. David seymour should be knighted for his efforts unlike the wicked witch Ardern. we the rest of NZ need to back David 200 % Do these radical stone age maori not know they are alienating the majority of NZrs ? I for one anb a lot of my friends and relations can no longer tolerate anything maori. The maori party and their radical followers are just shitting in their own nest. Outcome they will get less and less of tax payer money that they dont contribute to. They own 90% of the south island? WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN? | Kevan NZr |
Our Politicians are a disgrace for listening to the lies & deceit from maori activists, our 2 major parties are the worst offenders | Peter & Christina |
Absolutely yes, the so called treaty should be scrapped. It’s very counterproductive to where nz is now | Flip |
Its quite scarey | Sheena |
We are one nation | Tony |
Time for Luxon to join the party with Winston & Seymour or be put out in 26 | Mark |
it has to stop now before it’s too late. Our kids and grandkids are relying on our generation to get it right for them now. | Linley |
Alarming agenda which most NZers are completely in the dark about – deliberately managed by radicalised Maori. | Claire |
Even our armed forces perform a haka at every opportunity army, navy, and airforce.And are now brazened with maori art. it is my understanding that only the maori version of our national anthem was played before the Irish game so where is the media ? | Alan |
Yes most definitely. It gets worse the more you dig. Our country is being torn apart and Luxon needs to wake up but quick. | Chris |
Absolutely it is and it must be stopped. | Kate |
Very much so. This needs to stop so all peoples can live in NZ equally. | Noel |
we are all one people | GRAEME |
And we are thoroughly sick of it!!! | Caroline |
National before the election PROMISED to make us ALL Equal but luxon is like the USA Biden a liar full of bullshit so I,m afaid if labour gets in again maori will get their wishes granted | Cindy |
Calculated separatism built on corruption | Stephen |
Absolutely, we are under exterme attack. If Maori one day ever win control of New Zealand we will deteriorate in a massive breakdown internally and internationally. | Leon |
The radical Maori agenda is heading New Zealand toward a violent future. National will have to stand up and put their pride in their pocket they and NZ First need to have the courage to support The Treaty Principles Bill. Which by the way is being manipulated by the Maori Party to fire up their followers. The news media have a lot to answer for as well as the previous Labour Government. | Owen |
i have neighbours who have written white trash white bitch over my fence if I go out to my paddock they yell and scream at me as does their 8 year old. I am 74 and the police tell me it is nothing to do with them so who do you go to for help Its is just a joke this country now | Gillian |
YES. YES YES | Elizabeth |
Keep up the good work to try to bring this Maori activist nonsense under control by your public exposure of their antics | Murray |
Undermine, infiltrate, saturate, obliterate. Just see how bad things really are! Most tax paying Kiwis are like sheep Happily munching away unaware that they are being fleeced on the way to being butchered . Check out the article at mcleanj@substack.com .And why isnt the broadcasting minister doing something about the MAINSTREAM MEDIA CRIMINALS??? | Glyn J |
The country is being divided | Tony |
The lawless rise of radicalised Maori will destroy New Zealand unless moderate Maori take back the standards of their elders and promote living in harmony. | George |
Without a shadow of a doubt. NZ is heading down the toilet. It is scandalous. Luxon needs to grow a pair. | Alastair |
Division by race is apartheid, and ends in bloodshed. A house divided falls so we need to be one nation, one people, in order to successfullt move forward. | Laurine |
undermining is not the word, more like a bloody big hole and getting deeper every day due to luxon and key bending over so the hori can screw them while they paid the most hated women NZ has ever had to put this country in this state it is in, so this country’s future lies in the hands of Winston and David and if nothing is done in the next 18 months we are all going to be slaves to a bunch of lying low life hori and their white bum boys and girls who will end up on the game, this country is really ****** . | Richard |
It will be the only way forward for New Zealand. | Cheryl |
They are the ones causing division. The country would be unworkable under their suggested regime. | Glynda |
Willful blindness by National/Luxon and to some extent Mr Peters is astonishing in their failure to make urgent changes they were voted in to do. Writing letters of appeasement to the civil service for their cooperation is naive. A law change by Parliament is required for English language, among many many other changes to derail the radicals; but that requires strong decisive leadership that could have been done in the first 100 days of their office. Do the politicians believe they will be unaffected by tribal takeover of the country? extremely concerning. | Sam |
Yes. No question about it | Lenice |
Definitely. The weaker our prime minister is the more of their Maori agenda they will push. | Astrid |
ALL should be EQUAL under THE (Single) Law !! | Bevan |
For sure, i dread the future !!! | Mark |
until this is addressed we won’t be able to move forward on a level playing field | Paul |
One nation | Chris |
Hell yeah !! And the activists are absolutely loving it. | Martin |
Hell yes! Not to mention the costs involved in all claims and reparations are crippling the country financially and would be better spent on health and education! | Brenda |
Yes, of course….because it’s totally undemocratic and racist !! | David |
Agree with every word | Lenice |
Separate voting rolls guarantee division. Delete Maori seats and the Maori roll. | Phil |
This must be stamped out urgently | Peter |
Maori Sovereignty is a fantasy created by power-hungry people with no interest in the welfare of any, other than their own iwi. | Glyn |
Yes 100%. One Maori MP was asked “What is the Maori party was looking for?”. His anti-Democratic reply was “Everything”. This is a slow-burning insurrection and John Key’s pro-Maori understudy, PM Luxon, has NO intention of protecting of New Zealand Democracy from the insidious infiltration, intimidation and terrorism being inflicted on our democracy and every element of NZ society by the villainous, tribal Maori elite and their co-conspirators the Labour party, the Green Party and the Maori Party itself. They have created “social and racial disharmony” that is illegal under the Human Rights Act. It is disgraceful and terrifying, and shows that our NZ Democracy is completely unable to defend itself. | Phil |
I am sick & tired of the relentless intrusion of the Maori language into all aspects of our lives, fostered by all branches of the media as well as by central & local government. | Neville |
Yes, it sure is… Time for the the END, of the CROWN TROUGH, AND THE ACTIVISTS, that use it for their own GRUBBY HAND OUTS AS WELL AS ALL THE BS, CORRUPTION !! | David |
Ripeka Evans used to sound just like a terrorist. “I feel I have the right to take the blood of white people if necessary,” she told a reporter in 1982. | Doug |
The treaty is apartheid and pure racism Got the treaty : Got racist apartheid. A form of Marxist/communist control. Te Greenlabour will destroy this country. | Dave |
We are rapidly heading towards a Racial/Civil War. Our only hope is that Seymour Peters and Jones can put aside their political differences, form a new party and put an end to this Maori Party Bullshit. Luxon obviously hasn’t got the balls to do it. | Urban |
I suspect that if the coalition fails to rein in this radical takeover NZ could well reach the point of no return and be lost forever. They need to grow some bigger balls. | Mike |
Business as usual. Nat showing no inclination to honour most election promises. | Richard |
RACIST | GORDON |
Something needs to get done and quickly. If not, National, like the UK Conservatives, will die | Anthony |
absolutely.As a group,Maori are costing everybody else a lot of money. They are aided and abetted by socialists & the Catholic Church. NZ is being wrecked. | Bruce |
Most definitely. I am right behind David Seymour, Winston Peters and Shane Jones in their opposition to this activism. Even the term “Partnerhip” implies equal rights of the partners, but the Radicals will not even respect that. It is a fact that all so called Maoris alive today are a product of colonialism and inter marriage. | Warren |
It’s about time that we had a referendum on this. If people really want this radical way of government let’s put it to a vote. If they win, we will accept it. | Dianne |
They have been given too many inches and they are taking too many miles. Time the line in the sand is drawn and adhered to. | Dot |
The radical few are very serious about destroying NZ as it stands now. Sadly they dont understand that there is little of NZ that is not foreign owned so are they colluding with Blackrock etc who currently owns most of NZ | Noel |
Yes, and l doubt society will ever recover from the relentless insidious indoctrination towards that end. | Peter |
In every way, shape and form. | Ian |
Absolutely. There can be only one sovereignty in a democracy and that is an elected one. | Frederick |
I am so disgusted by the Maori activists and the actions of the weak government, it is best I do not leave a further comment. | Hugh |
The fundamental Principle the we are ONE nation is eroded by the Maori claims. | Denis |
I have never felt so threatened in NZ as I do now. I fear that if the Radical Maori do not get their own way they will resort to violence. They will not be happy with co governance even if it was implemented. It is my belief they want full control over all the citizens of NZ and will stop at nothing to get it. I have always viewed us as one nation as have all of my friends. we are in our 70s now but it appears that we don’t really account for anything. It’s a real shame that we cannot all move forward together. | Maria |
It is an insidious creeping disease affecting our democracy. | Robert |
That is how Hitler got into power! Amd look at the damage that he did! | Mark |
Definitely !! | June |
I have never known NZ to be SO DIVIDED – all due to the activists trying to wreck New Zealanders from living in harmony with each other whatever their race, colour or creed. | Gene |
Labour opened a Pandora’s box and He Puapua, co-governance, 3 Waters, removing citizens referenda over Maori wards, new RMA and other separist policies that made me feel totally disenfranchised. The most insidious however was their agenda to blatantly lie about the sovereignty of NZ. They had six years of steam up and have realised that the gravy train has ended and so are “spitting the dummy”. Unless the coalition government establishes that the Crown is the legitimate authority and exposes the separatist agenda of Labour, the Greens and the Maori party, the noise from the separatists will drown out the real progress that is being made in getting NZ back on track. | Kerry |
extremely dangerous and must be curtailed | graham |
urgent decisive action required | Tony |
It’s time that all New Zealand citizens were recognised as having equal rights, with no discrimination on the basis of race. | Dougal |
Maori mafia ( maori party, labour party and the greens ) All these bottom feeders will not be happy until the full takeover of NZ is 100% complete. The brakes must go on now and hard. Otherwise NZ is history. Too late for me but my children and grand kids should move to Oz or Britain for a better life. | Allan |
It has undermined and continues to undermine our society | Mike |
Maori extremists are capturing the young people of NZ into their way of thinking – it is appallingly racist. | CHRIS |
If this radicalism is not stopped in its tracks it will undermine the whole value of New Zealand on the international stage. | Alastair |
The last labour government has driven a wedge between all New Zealanders. | Rex |
Because no one in this government is very interested in dealing with the problem of | Peter |
We only have to look north to Fiji over the last 25 years to see the results of indigenous envy. Ask George Speight how penal exile suits. A house divided must fall. | Mick |
The majority of New Zealanders are just sick of the whole treaty fiasco. If only Luxton realised that his government was democratically elected to run the country for the majority of the people, not the minority. | Gerard |
This needs to stop! Surely David Seymour is aware of what their goal is?? | Derek |
The whole situation we find ourselves in ,in NZ is very alarming. Thanks to the NZCPR the real facts are being told. | Mary |
god defend NZ and stop all this rubbish about co everything | anthony |
100% they are, and it has to stop now, or it will be very sad for NZ as whole, | Roy |
deffeminately it appears that there are to many radicals having a say and conning a lot of the general public | john |
There is no Maori unified sovereignty – only tribes. | Chris |
and continuing to do so – with the likes of Luxon in the mix, the out come is dire | Giles |
Abolish the Waitangi Tribunal NOW. | Mark |
it is damaging NZ. Maori Party are out of control and should be removed from Parliament | Rod |
It needs groups like NZCPR and Hobson’s choice AND we members especially to become NOISY and LOUD and advocate for understanding of what’s happening and how misguided we have become through our apathy. We now know however so no excuses. | Carol |
With 20/20 vision, YES! | J J |
55 years ago this was a fine country, Unfortunately it is now, thanks to very poor leadership, a comedy. Our leaders have no backbone and keep getting walked allover. When will it end and get back to New Zealand as it correctly was. | Tom |
The coalition has to step up hard and stop this at all levels. | Peter |
It is dividing us in a disturbing fashion. Family are now leaving New Zealand for Australia as see they are becoming second-class citizens in their homeland of NZ. | Lucy |
alarmingly | john |
I’m sad to say that it has. Some Maori are following an aggressive and untruthful direction to achieve their own objectives. This in turn has impacted greatly on New Zealand society. It needs to be addressed with some urgency. Our current coalition needs to “direct” our education, health, public services and local government to abide by the government’s agenda instead of tip toeing around the edges. | chris |
This is made clear the radical element want full control and muast be stopped now | leo |
What happened to 1 people, 1 law | Simon |
Totally and we all must do something to stop this treacherous agenda — our history is filled with lies. | Alan |
The push for Maori Sovereignty is totally debilitating for this country and it will lead to New Zealand becoming a racist third world state if unchecked and I believe it is being unchecked right now. | Stewart |
ACT NEEDS EVERYONE,s EMAIL IN SUPPORT without it luxon will cave in,he,s caving in alot he said at the election EVERYONE WOULD BE EQUAL but he,s done NOTHING. his govt. is still giving tax payers money to iwi groups to do things that are JUST FOR MAORI & ALL THOSE IWI ARE MILLIONAIRES WHO PAY NO TAX AS JACINDA MADE THEM A CHARITY so why is,nt the finance minister looking into all these tax free groups seeing NZ needs money. | Cindy |
DISGRACFUL BEHAVIOR FROM A COLLECTIVE OF RADICAL ACTIVISTS WANTING TO BRING DOWN OUR DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED GOVMNT. FOR THEIR OWN UNDEMOCRATIC AGENDA. | COLIN |
Im sick of seeing and hearing,the racist rants,and Apartheid spoured by the,maori sovereignty agenda. | Mike |
100% | Rita |
Yes, and all done intentionally – from previous ‘attempts, weak politicians bow to ‘their’ staunchness and ;give them more” bluffed under the ‘suggestion’ they will lose votes – and their seat, – and thus this country ! This has been happening for decades asit seems ‘they’ laugh all the way to the bank! | Stuart |
Maori swore allegiance to the Crown by signing the Treaty BECAUSE the protection of the Crown was essential to avoid collapse of the Maori race by internal wars and cannibalism within Maoridom. Current protesters ignore this completely | Bob |
It sure is,,,,now STOP | Wiremu |
Absolutely, this is evident by the large amounts of people leaving this country. | Lawrie |
Chris Hipkins, made some interesting comments, at the Labour conference….It sounds like he has inside info, that most Kiwis, don’t know about already? Seems that he is giving the orders to AUKUS,from little AOTEAROA about our future Defence plans will be….. I wonder how he knew that info… ahead of time, AS WELL? | David |
Apathy now will destroy later | Bryan |
These self interested narcissistic tribal thugs are destroying the country and sending it on a path to civil war and poverty. Winston Peters was right in 2011 when he said this radical nonsense would make NZ the Zimbabwe of the South Pacific. History will judge all involved poorly. The radicals, the greedy Iwi thugs and the treacherous institutions and the effete useful idiots that enabled it. | John |
100% | Teresa |
A prominent marxist leader of the past, asked the question….’WHAT MUST BE DONE’? people that know their History, know what the answer was… People in N.Z are asking the same question again.! We need to anwer this question SOON! | David |
Totally The radicalization of MAori youth and in fact the whole educations system has to STOP NOW! | boud |
can not have this | Noel |
Democracy must rule – one person one vote NO MAORI SEATS!! | stephen |
This agenda is causing division, racism, and inequality, as Maori are given special treatment in many areas, and ‘white’ people are now the enemy – even though ALLL Maori are mixed blood of some sort today. This is despicable, and a betrayal, not only of the TOW but also of our values as a Nation. Shame on ALL governments that allowed this to take root and grow. | Christine |
Yes at every turn and level! | Maureen |
Undermining is far too polite: Totally destroying would be closer to the truth! | Graham |
Absolutely rediculous that today we still have separate seats for a small percentage of our population, when they have already a sizeable percentage of representation in Parliament | Heather |
Very much so. The country that I grew up in and whose people I respected is being torn to pieces. My wife and I are too old to leave and start a new life elsewhere, but I have advised our children to do so. | tony |
Absolutely it is! | Catherine |
Yes the manipulating of the Treaty of Waitangi wording by Maori and the fabrication that Maori did not concede sovereignty is pure fiction. This nonsense should be shut down immediately by the government. | Peter |
It is a program to take controll | Colin |
We don’t want to go down the path of being appointed according to race and Maori having the power of veto. Everything must be done to stop these radicals. | Rose |
It’s beyond a joke now. Militant and insulting, What do we have to do to stop it? | alan |
We should all be treated the same. Which the master copy of the Treaty stated. No partnership. As Hobson stated we are now ONE!! | Sheila |
A rock around this country’s neck!!! | Carol |
The ‘Maori sovereignty agenda’ is pure racism and should be recognized as exactly that. | Robyn |
It is a power based act that has had a long-term goal. Changing people through indoctrination of language and history. | Lee |
It is time to eliminate Maori seats, and the government should ask for any provision of this old document that was conceived more than 200 years ago to be deleted from all government job descriptions, goals, objectives, job descriptions, and much more. CEOs that refuse to do this should be fined personally or dismissed for not following government This document has no relevance to today’s environment. Activist judges should be taken to the Judicial Conduct Commissioner (JCC) for lack of impartiality or not applying the law. Race relations has never been so bad in NZ. | luciane |
We are in the process of been will and truly stitched up. | Sven |
Absolutely. We do not need a divided country. For our country to survive we need to put aside the past and move forward as one. | Vivienne |
Is it ever! – the culmination of fifty years or more of working behind the scenes to bring about their Marxist agenda of total tribal control of NZ. This country is too nice a place to be handed over to a Stone Age tribal rabble to run into the ground. This is what will happen if we do not act fast and put pressure on the coalition government (National in particular) to implement the pre – election promises that were made. Above all, we need a strong leader – (not a manager) – one who has the courage to put these vociferous parasites in their place, once and for all. Their disgraceful behaviour, particularly in Parliament, has made us the laughing stock of the world – we are better than this! Action is required now – we are fast running out of time! | Scott. |
I am sick of hearing Maori this and Maori that, why are they any different to me and mine. I went to school with them I was a very long time in the Army with them and now I have some very loyal Maori friends so what makes those radicals different to the rest of us??? | Barbara |
I think the Coalition is way way off track. No huge issues have been ironed out. Luxon is too quiet. I no longer trust him. Atlas man through & through. Prove me wrong please. | Sam |
Totally and it must be stopped it is wrecking this country | Richard |
The very term is divisive and is outrageous in terms of ignoring the Treaty being signed to cede sovereignty | Ray |
Absolutely I do | Gail |
Without swift intervention to bring this highly dangerous nonsense to a swift end, NZ will if this movement continues unabated will quickly slip into 3rd world status and then the tribal factions will start fighting, at that stage it is all over…. | Jim |
Is undermined – treason! | murray |
Very severely undermine our NZ society- quite scary | Maree |
Absolutely | Sam |
The division is tragic and a great concern it must be thwarted | Carol |
A succint opus whic deserves to be widely promulgated. | anthony |
One nation, one people who are all equal before the law. Race based activism is ascending and undermines our society and nation. | Andrew |
Yes they want total control and Tribal rule which in a multicultural liberal democratic country everyone is equal. | June |
That is the point. Divide and conquer. | Allan |
We are One People, One Nation! If these neo-maoris want to go back to how they lived 200 years ago, there’s nothing stopping them. | Edwin |
Yes it started when Ripeka Evans, Donna Awatere went to Cuba in 1975. As she said – It is WAR | John |
this government has to get on top of this bull shit and put a stop to it. we are heading for a cinil war. | Barry |
Are you having a bit of a laugh Muriel? Are you joking us along for troll reactions? YES, of course the ridiculously ILLEGITIMATE “Maori Sovereignty” is an absolute FARCE… That nation of cannibalistic, illiterate saps wouldn’t know “Sovereignty” if it hit them with a musket ball! | Graham |
They are ALL more Pakeha than Maori….so there is no issue. They are pakehamaori…end of. | HELEN |
Democratic decisions should apply to Maori sovereignty; not special consideration based in race. | Peter |
We are no longer equal peers in the country in which we were born. It saddens me that society is being ripped apart for the benefit of few at the expenses of many | Roger |
Absolutely. If we continue on that track we will have a totally divided country based on a racial agenda. This is the worst possible scenario for our country. | Norm |
The radical maori sovereignty agenda is rapidly undermining New Zealand and it needs to be stamped on swiftly. It remains to be seen whether te reo Luckless has the courage to do so. | Gavin |
Most definitely. It has to be stopped or this country will end up like Zimbabwe. | Murray |
If not stopped completely soon (He Pauapu) – it will lead at best to N.Z.becoming the Hati of the South Pacific & worst to civil war | Derek |
No doubt about it | Beverley |
The Treaty has caused nothing but trouble within New Zealand society. Until a Government has the courage to address the issue it will continue to fester. | Dennis |
Maori sovereignty has destroyed to peaceful fabric of NZ through their greed & thirst for power is heading us all down a path that has a very bad end for us all, time for The Coalition to stand up for us all before we have to do that ourselves. | NIGEL |
Has no place & no mandate here in New Zealand. The only winners would be the greedy activist “Maori Elite” | Rex |
Yes-Not only by distracting proper education, disrespecting Parliament ( Te Pati) , but also draining the country of valuable currency by the constant land claims, and their so called Tax privileges and seeing overseas trips by them heavily taxpayer subsidised | John |
As New Zealanders we should all be treated equally with laws applying equally to us all. There is no way you can have two sovereign powers in NZ, it would tear the country apart. | Dwane |
Definitely! When we first came to New Zealand in the 1990’s we felt it had a much more cohesive society including all races. It doesn’t feel that way now! | Sylvia |
There is no question about it, maori sovereignty is being pushed hard and promoted at the expense of NZ & its citizens by racist radical maori activists some pretending to be politians, Time the temporary maori seats were abolished for good. | Greg |
Totally | greg |
Look at all the made-up Maori words in use. Government departments should be told to have their names in plain English. The PIJF should be scrapped immediately, not left until 2026, as those media who dip into it have to promote the last government’s agenda which includes elevating Maori issues and not publishing a balanced viewpoint. The Maori seats in Parliament should have been removed with the introduction of MMP. The balance of Parliament will be skewed if the maori party wins more seats – which is plainly their agenda. | Laurence |
It is also dividing families and communities | Arthur |
Unfortunately, yes! Lies have become truth, and truth has become lies! It is time it was stopped… | Heather |
This must be stopped | John |
Never before in my lifetime has the country been so divided along racial lines. | Carol |
Anyone who doesn’t believe this isn’t paying attention and are part of the problem. | Robert |
I want my New Zealand back with a one New Zealand not this divisive rubbish promoted by the socialist. | Rob |
Wake up New Zealand, before it’s too late – for the hour is upon us and a bitter reward awaits. | Don |
It’s become so different living in NZ that I moved overseas. I’ve come back to get the pension and can’t wait to leave again. I hate the place | Trevor |
get rid of Maori seats now. | Paula |
They are trying to need to be stopped | Barbara |
Even a blind/deaf person can understand that. | Carl |
New Zealand is made up from people from all parts of the world,, There is no truely indigenous people , we ALL came frone elsewere with moxed ancestry,. | Don |
Absolutely, there’s no doubt that a mixture of ignorance, apathy, indoctrination and previous governments poor management and foresight etc have got us to this point. However, the previous Government of Adhern and Hipkins certainly betrayed New Zealanders. Come on New Zealand wake up. | Rob |
Absolutely! | Christine |
Of course it is. | steven |
Absolutely.. thanks in the greater part to our Marxist Liebour party dropout.. Liecinda Ardern no less.. | Rob |
Referenden NOW!! | Chris |
We are one people and a democracy and not to be taken over by loud mouthed and devious radicals only intent on grabbing control and pocketing the spoils. | john |
yes its apartheid | Neil |
Yes, I can’t understand why this is happening. We are all just people! | Kel |
Absolutely yes. | Rochelle |
Yea it is evident. It is now in northpower . Maori names for their systems and even maori prayer observed . | Michelle |
The coalition government need to act now to put an end to all of this Maori sovereignty bullshit. Delete all references to the Treaty from all documentation & make English an official language of New Zealand – not Aotearoa! | David |
Where are your leaders? Started out with good intentions ( according to their manifesto) but once elected the power trip begins and all else goes out the window. NZ and Aussie need a Trump. | John |
absolutely; time to start uprising | william |
The Maoris did not pay for the land in the first place. They took it from the Morior. Some of the Maori signed a treaty -not all. It was simply a surrender in real terms. Have Maori abided by the treaty ? No! Look at the percentage in our jails.Scrap the treaty. | Harvey |
Absolutely.. | Catherine |
Absolutely!! Democracy rules…NOT ethnocracy | Tony |
Luxon needs to grow a pair and stand up against Maori trying to rewrite history | Brian |
One for all and all for one | Andrew |
Little by little this country is going down the gurgler. This must stop. | Benjamin |
The National party is too spineless to stand up to this moarification of our country. This must stop. Grow a backbone and support Seymour with his bill. | Clive |
Totally. Despite being nonsense of the highest order. | ken |
A blatant racial drive for seperatism…. | Jennifer |
The Treaty agreement was relevant to the circumstances at the time it was signed. Now it should be recognized as such and relegated to history. | Ralph |
I wish Luxon would wake up, develop some integrity and honesty and balls, to challenge what is happening… the destruction of our democracy!!! | Ray |
The Maori sovereignty agenda is undermining our society and is based on fallacy. Sir Apirana Ngata took pains to clarify the content of the Treaty years ago however our original history has been ignored and a new narrative put in its place. This will bring chaos and division between the peoples of this land. | Dianne |
no to the return of the stone age | Christopher |
Yes, it has polluted our society creating deep division in business, culture sport and every aspect of our lives. In contrast to when I was growing up in the 1950s. We should be one nation with utterly equal rights for all. | Don |
The Maori sovereignty agenda HAS ALREADY undermined our society. Our PM is too afraid to take action, preferring appeasement and a case-by-case approach – ie. as we have done before. As Einstein said, “If we always do what we’ve always done, we’ll always get what we’ve always got”. So the under-mining will continue. | Jon |
Absolutely | Dominic |
had a gutsfull of maori trying to take over NZ graeme | graeme |
Maori sovereignty is high-jacking our society and unless something is done urgently to stop it we are going to end with a situation of 16% ruling 84%. | Ursula |
We are one people all equal.under the law. | Malcolm |
they should abolish the Maori seats which were temporary in the early1900s | bev |
Without question, because we were based on what the radicals call a colonial past. We are not a colony any more and we are well able to govern ourselves but not under moari rule. | Ray |
I agree | JUDITH |
This a mind numbing situation that has the potential to completely dereail NZ | neville |
Always has done. Just more verbal these days | Beverley |
It has to be stopped in its tracks. Tribalism = fascism. | Trevor |
An old saying says it all “Divide & Rule” | Colleen |
no doubt about it…. | John |
Definitely!! | ALASTAIR |
And of Maori ancestry. | Paul |
It seems preposterous to me to aim for a society split into one race on one side and the other races on the other – that is not democracy | Gerhard |
Lovely to see the Supreme Court unanimously coming down on “our” side. Have just sent you one further donation. | Andy |
WE are all equal and must stand firm against division. A huge proportion of our younger citizens support changes favoured by thge maori party. They have been indoctrinated at school. This is very concerning. Many argue against the Treaty Principals bill but have nevber read it. | fred |
It’s racist nonsense- the treaty was drafted in English therefore its intent is exactly as written in English. – the chiefs who signed were largely illiterate and relied on oral translations with no written verification of that these individual translations were accurate. | Ihaia |
Better book a seat on a Boat soon. we will be all sent home. then watch the real maori Wars! | Peter |
As an expat South African, I can recognise APARTHEID when I see it. Maori radicals want APARTHEID entrenched even more than it already is in NZ. No question. The separate Maori seats need to go – NOW. | Geoffrey |
Maoridom are just like the Democrats in the USA They demand power at any cost with the abolition of democray | Michael |
Where are the silent majority??? The apathy and ignorance is appalling. | Ray |
Who gave Maori sovereignty? They took the land from previous inhabitants as well as their culture. The treaty agreed as to who has sovereignty | David |
This whole concept was vehemently denied by all political parties until 20 years ago. The treaty does not form a constitution- a point noted by the late David Lange. | Brent |
seperatisim is apartheid….whichever way you advocate. | Barry |
Time for action on this issue as well. The Coalition are slow to act on lots of these issues and this mostly rests with the PM who remains a weak Leader | Noel |
Totally agree. It is tearing the country apart and will be very dangerous if not stopped. The non existent treaty principals along with the Maori seats should abolished ASAP | Ian |
The Maori Sovereignty movement has the clearly articulated and indisputable intention replace society as we know and accept, with a privileged, aristocratic oligarchy based on racial heritage. What we have here is not a conflict of race, but a return to a conflict of class. | davidf |
Most definitely, the most worrying thing for me as a 5th generation New Zealander | stuart |
I say close the Maori Party down. | William Clive |
There used to be no Maori sovereignty. | Liz |
it is fascism no less. | martin |
Yes most definitely. The entire treaty needs to go along with the Tribunal, they have both out stayed their purpose. | Heather |
Absolutely it is. People need to stand up and demand the so called Principals of the Treaty be abolished along with Maori seats. Until we are all treated as New Zealanders regardless of ethnicity, there is no future for this once proud country. | Bev |
The betrayal and active destruction of our Democracy must surely class these activists as Traitors which is the most serious offence against our country. | Carrol |
I also consider that, it is more likely than not, China is a guiding hand in the subversion of New Zealand’s democratic sovereignty being undertaken by extremist Maori radicals. | Victor |
Equality applies to all things | fred |
The Maori agenda is making our community more and more divided | John |
This will be the death of NZ if this continues unabated and unaddressed. | Mark M |
Luxon has been brainwashed by the radical Potaka who has slimed his way into the National party. Everyone should contact Luxon as I have and remind him that Potoka is nothing but a Maori radical who supports Maori rule | Steve |
I suspect that there is more to this than meets the eye. Bare in mind the globalist agenda that has infiltrated our government and the “loyalty” that these bought and paid for globalists have to the WEF, UN, WHO. That is to say that there is no loyalty to New Zealand, that is you and I. They don’t even 4rpresent us in their endeavors. They say thay do, but they are lying. They are traitors to our country. So the Maori “sovereignty” issue is about Maori ” positioning” themselves as the buddy to the globalists. Since none of them, Govt or Maori, are interested in New Zealanders, they all are simply criminal recketeers and it is all about Power and Money, period. Look at the big picture here! | Neil |
They are hell bent on self destruction. When will the real Maori stand up to this nonsensical deplorable behaviour by their so called leadership. | Dennis |
Enough is enough. We have to have change otherwise New Zealand is doomed | Peter |
Apartheid iwi. WRONG | mike |
Purposely divisive | Gavin |
Creating an enormous rift between “ordinary” citizens and people with a chip on their shoulder, protesting for a reason they actually don’t understand, when questioned. | Rolf |
Most definitely it is. | John |
It’s exceedingly bad | Ruth |
Too much time and effort going into this issue when Maori ceded to the Crown. End of story. | Neville |
and no one iOS doing anything about it! | Graham |
No doubt | Richard |
Just Johns this morning at 8-10am i had a call from St Johns questioning my email in which I asked why has St Johns changed and or, are using a Maori name. She came on heavy when I repeated my question.I then asked her if she was Maori,she answered YES. Thats when I hung up. | J JOHN |
It’s difficult to understand how both Parliament and Judiciary can so easily forget the sacrifices made by millions of Those who fought for our civil rights. | Sax |
YES, and it will stuff this country. God Defend New Zealand but I think it is too late. | Bruce |
What happened to. We Are Now One People? | Brian |
Here in Taupo the local tribe Te wharetoa run the council – the council staff know exactly what is expected of them. In your area it will be similar I guarantee. | Roger |
MOST definitely they are and all based on total BSHIT. The huge reverse racism if f..king our once wonderful NEW ZEALAND. They must be stopped – NOW. | Brian |
Only too obvious. Just look around | Phil |
I hadn’t heard it explained before that by claiming a partnership was created with the Crown through the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi, Maori became partners with the Crown and hence hold joint Sovereignty over New Zealand and its inhabitants. If that were so then their claim for Maori Sovereignty would definitely be undermining our society. The question of whether a partnership was created between the Crown and the signatories of The Treaty of Waitangi is critical. The document is regarded as a Treaty which is an international understanding of agreement as to its terms defined. Does that convey partnership ? I don’t think so. Partnership in that instance would imply that Maori would share equally with the Crown in the ownership of all the Crown assets. And clearly that is not the case. Treaty in this instance would imply a cessation of military aggression between the parties and agreement of other matters benefitting each party. In this case the benefits were spelled out, but sharing the assets of the Crown was clearly not one of the benefits to Maori. | Terrence |
Under the so-called treaty we are supposed to be one people | Bob |
Definitely. One New Zealand. only | Francis |
Absolutely!! | Sandra |
This is another part of the Globalist’s 2030 Agenda to destabilize our Country paid for by the People who head up the ‘Great Reset’. As soon as some of our Politicians ‘grow a Pair’ we may just be able to stop all this Racism in it’s Tracks !! | Geoff |
YES YES YES YES YES YES | |
It is known fact that this is the ultimate goal. | Murray |
They didn’t have Sovereignty for crying out loud!! It was tribal warfare with no tribes actually working together to even establish Sovereignty… | Cath |
It is steadily dividing the nation and creating suspicion and distrust | John |
It certainly does and is creating a real wide division between Maori and all other races. Who wants the idiots we saw in Parliament a couple of weeks ago to have a disproportionate say in our Parliament and making our laws we ALL operate under. | Keith |
Our beautiful N.Z.is being ruined by people whose only aim is to disrupt the country with their communist agenda. Intelligent people of all races must speak out before it’s too late! | Chris |
In Media,Educational facilities primary to tertiary, Judicial entities, Govt departments it is now widespread- Coalition Govt needs to act with urgency or mass exodus of NZ will occur. | John |
It’s disruptive to daily life in New Zealand | Ian |
definiteiy try[ng to undermine in all directions. | Ann |
get rid of the treaty completely! | William |
What about all this don’t the National party see? They are not coalition voters, and probably never will be. So how do we get an idea of the true numbers of New Zealanders that oppose it to shock them into action? | Robert |
Totally sick and tired of the maori moaning how bad they have treated they get more handouts than everyone else in N.Z. | colleen |
Every bureacratic institution floods the public with Maori nonsense. | Charles |
absolutely.One poeple,one law,one flagMaori seats should be abolished waitangi tribunal dismantled and maori /crown office dispatched.all race based legislation reversed,and treaty based decisions critically scrutinized. | gale |
so much. its unbelievable. and scary. | Cherie |
Yes, sadly and sickeningly. I wouldn’t change my grandchildren for the world but I wish I could change the world for my grandchildren starting with the orchestrated evil undermining of our society. | Janine |
It is the intention of the Maori Sovereignty movement to undermine our society and this includes the Parliament. Our tolerance has been abused, the tolerance given cannot continue as it has been. | Peter |
Clearly racist based. | Stuart |
There is room for only ome gpverming body. All else is chaos. | Sheila |
It is impossible to understand which government department is which if you dont speak Maori | Stanley |
Sick of been told we are visitors in our country, they want separatist. | Steve |
It is a disaster!! Or will be if it goes through! | Ron |
I said at the time of the last labour government that Ardern was a traitor to the legitimate government of this country. Parliament must act to reassert the sovereignty of the people of this country. That is what we elected the present government to do and they had better get on with it. | Paloma |
I believe in democratic governance but following Maori principals this will never happen. A referendum is the correct way – but I doubt it will bring some degree of division into our pleasant way of living | Frank |
It is stifling our country and dividing us. It should be that we are all equal with the same rights and obligations. Apartheid does not work. | lone |
We should get behind David Seymour | ian |
The Maori sovereignty SCAM is a deliberate coup to take over control of New Zealand. All laws that provide special privileges to Maori MUST be remove from the statutes forthwith. All judges who use being Maori as a reason to reduce a sentence of who pervert the law in any way to fvour the Maori agenda MUST be disbarred forthwith. We MUST get this Maori led corruption out of our country’s political, judicial, education, and public service NOW! | Steve |
They must be stopped before they destroy our democracy! | Donna |
it will end up pitting families and freinds against each other – civil war is a possibility and then another ZIMBABWE | Les W |
The physical threats being made are outrageous | Peter |
There is smoke on the horizon already. They moan heaps constructively solve nil issues except for their own racial benefit. Not the average New Zealander. Rugby is only a game. They would be better to stop murdering their own children and drug supply to their youth. Walking solves nothing they clog the hospital systems already. | mike |
Yes, it has all gone too far | Kim |
It has got wat too far and what many don’t recognise, is that is continuing. We are becoming the Boiled Tuatara. It will be too late before we know it. | Steve |
Without a shadow of doubt | David |
But is at its worst with younger generations well brainwashed by edjicashun these days and celeb culchur. | Gill |
Iam against the activist element in the Maoeri Party | Barry |
Absolutely | Martin |
All citizens need to be equal under the law. | Shane |
There was no Partnership. Queen Vicky didnt do Partnerships. She didnt need to. The Chiefs wanted to stop the killing and stop the French from taking over the country. | Grant |
Shambles! | Patrick |
Totally, Luxon needs to listen and act in a more definite manner, he is losing the narrative and the party vote | Lindsay |
Absolutely! | JC |
They learned to be racist in1979 | Brian b |
Now is the time to stop this idiocy or NZ as we know it will no longer exist . Every decent NZer should be up in arms over the radical changes maori want. | Bruce |
Maori ceded Sovereignty, I believe that we are all equal and Maori claims need to be addressed so that the Waitangi Tribunal, Maori dedicated seat’s in Parliament should be abolished ASAP | Peter |
It has to be stopped !!! | russell |
I struggle with the pandering to this racist separatist by the media and the woke do-gooders. | Mike |
The Maori Agenda has been so secritive and with absolute cunning totally kept their agenda under cover until now revealed Wake up before it is too late. One NZ, Maori and Pakeha under one government. | Karen |
I’m afraid to say that it already has. if the majority of people living in this country don’t stand up and say anything, then this country is stuffed. Evil only wins when good people stand by and do nothing, which is what we’re seeing at the moment | Trevor |
Our Society will not progress in any meaningful way and improve standards of living for all ethnicities until we go forward as one people. | John |
Its nonsensical in today’s world and counter-productive for any New Zealander’s future. | Andrew |
When do the second Maori wars start? | paul |
History shows that it is!! | Murray |
Yes very obviously so. I wish the Coalition Government would get it’s act together! | Pamela |
National MPs need to listen to their voters. | RICHard |
It has already undermined society! You ask anyone, including some awake maori, it’s already created a them and us. Some maori are embarassed by the demands of the elite and know they’ll never se any benifit from it. White people now see maori now able to commit crime and be exempt punishment. It’s already a them and uscountry! | Peter |
The radical Maori have been working on this for some time and has grown since the last Government increased its power and now under a weak Prime minister and the National Party the situation will become worse. I have no faith with Luxon at the helm and encourage Peters and Seymore to put the pressure on and test Luxon and i am sure they will get a lot of public support. | KEN |
Absolutely-no question about it. I support a full and fair discussion about the Treaty by learned independent KCs. | Laura |
To suggest the British Empire at its imperial peak signed a partnership with some Stone Age cannibals is an absurdity at best. Or an outrageous lie | Boris |
Luzon is in my opinion is a subversive in this whole problem. He is a globalist who is an Ardern ist in drag . | Terry |
Never known matters in general quite so bad politically speaking – Maori totally out of control | Hylton |
100% | Chris |
just pure vile greed | donald |
Absolutely and undeniably. | Graham |
we are one people living in one country with equal rights despite or various ethnic backgrounds. | Bill |
yes, the corrosive nature of this agenda is best exampled by the radicals that run the Maori party & their racially superior beliefs | John |
We cannot, constitutionally, have two governments in this country | Mike |
Of course it is. Its as plain as the nose on your face. These commies must be stopped. | Mike |
Most definitely and the sooner we remove the Maori seats in parliament, the better. | Mike |
Yes. Dangerously so. | Grahame |
They want apartheid. That has never worked out well. | Tony |
absolutely | Colin |
Absolutely the maori sovereinty agenda is underminingNZ society. As a local body councillor I can attest to this fact and the consequential waste of ratepayers dollars consumed in the process of supposed co governance. | Chris |
Absolutely. What will it take and when are average Kiwi’s going to demand an end to Maori divisionism and enforce equal rights for all. Current PM too weak to lead us down this path to total equality. | Hugh |
There definitely should not be any discrimination between any race in NZ. We all should be treated equally under the Crown. One law for all citizens of NZ. | Jacqueline |
Do away with all maori electorate seats, they are racist | Raymond |
I didn’t see much sign that pre-1840 Maori had such wide ranging ambitions. | Bruce |
It needs to be stopped | Steve |
Excellent article . Unquestionably the big question is “what is the Government doing about it ?” They are certainly not honouring their election promises and undertakings to totally dismantle the Maorification of New Zealand put in place by the deposed Labour coalition government and fully recapture and reinstate our democracy . WHY ? That is clearly what they were principally elected to do – to rid us of Maorification and totally reinstate our Democracy and the equality of citizenship mandated in the Treaty of Waitangi. To date they HAVE NOT HONOURED those promises. WHY ? WE WANT ACTION !! | Hugh |
Their ‘trogan horse’ is slowly crawling into divide this society forever. Action to destroy this Hori low life is now . | Chris |
I believe that the Race based Maori Party, Treaty of Waitangi Settlements and Maori seats in parliament should be abolished | Michael |
Media has assisted this faction no-end and with Maori journalists have kept the umu at boiling point. Non Maori who symapthise with this Maori nonsense make things even worse. It’s a pity that the departed witch Adern stirred the pot during her tenure. Instead of doing her role to help child poverty, she instead set out to assist Mahuta and Jackson carve a path against non-Maori with a fib. The Queen of England would never allow a stone age race to enter any partnership with crown. The Labour Govt in league with Mahuta and coy created legislation that is difficult to pull back, deliberately so. Today Govt departments and councils cow-tow to Maori demands. It is a poor look where our history casts colonials as the enemy of Maori. Adren had the history of NZ with regard Maori altered to reflect a view that colonials were the baddies for want of a better word. But think how Maori have benefitted from western culture since their arrival. | John |
It’s a fraud. Nobody has any more rights in this country than anyone else. We’ve been milked long enough. | Grant |
The Maori seats should have been done away with long ago for a start, why did the politicians at that time not listen to the Royal Commission _ probably too PC and afraid to rock the boat. | Paul |
Yes 100%, no have no more rights than we do, they just THINK they do, and trying to prove it in ways outside LEGAL system. They were told to disban the Waitangi Tribunal, now it coming back and BITING them | Tony |
It is a racist greedy agenda based on reinventing the treaty! You only have to read the quotes of the chiefs who signed it to know they happily ceded sovereignty! | Andy |
We are one people and therefore anything based on race is totally racist. We need to get back to being a unified country and all be treated the same. Delete all reference to race from legislation and for goodness sake Mr Speaker either take charge or resign. A proper standard of dress should be insisted upon with Parliament demanding respect. | Helen |
Yes, without any doubt from a non-Maori perspective. Many Maori will no doubt have a different view. | Peter |
NZ is entering a stage of anarchy as divisive propaganda is being pedaled by the left in NZ politics that calls for the reinterpreted Treaty of Waitangi to be the basis of our constitution. | Wayne |
Maori sovereinty is completely racist and is undemocratic | Bruce |
I’ve had enough of these people, they can’t even get along with each other, they’ve never moved with the times, for once in their lives how about trying to GROW up. | Merryl |
Why can’t people see it? | John |
The analogy with Singapore is apt. This kind of politics led to race riots and a strained hybrid system of governance in Malaysia and is one of the core reasons Singapore moved away from the Malaysian federation. With no resources and having been one of the poorest states in Malaysia, Singapore left ethnicity based politics behind and has been all the better for it ever since. | Sylvia |
Yes. Undermining might be a polite understatement Can I suggest chaos within our society. There never was a Maori sovereign state. There was rampant blood letting tribalism, to which they now wish to rename sovereignty | Bruce |
Yes, it needs to stop before we are divided any further. | Kate |
Totally. It is just a vehicle for the Gravy Train. Absolutely corrupt. | Scott |
big time | Peter |
As intended, but in can and must be countered otherwise civil life in New Zealand will be extinguished. | john |
Absolutely! It is horrifying to note how far down the separatist rabbit hole our country has slide. | Rodger |
Disturbing reading this week. We need to fight for Democracy every step of the way to remain in power | Brenda |
Yes, it is dividing our nation and helping drive societal failure. The cream of our talent is leaving in despair as our country sinks further into some sort of failed ethno state. Everywhere you look you see failure and decline. If we had a shared vision we could/should be a rock star economy but our easy going nature and dumb tolerance as Kiwis is killing us. Our politicians are too timid to stand up and show leadership to call out the treachery from within. Wake up NZ its nearly over. | Geoff |
absolutely and the Nats, esp the PM keep side stepping the issue | Mike |
It most certainly is and what is so annoying is that the Nat Party are sitting their hands not making a song about it | Robert |
Asolutely it is. I have mis-informed friends in their 70’s and 80’s who are borderline brainwashed, and it worries me. We have some fairly volatile ‘discusions’. | DICK |
Without doubt. It is divisive and strategic in it’s misuse of media and tax payers funding. | caren |
Will the coalition govt do anything about it? They must, we can’t continue marching on with our head in the sand | Gary |
Undoubtedly this is detrimental to an equitable society. We lookk to our elected representatives to put an end to this, and it’s clearly not happening. | Rod |
It is the cause of much division and resentment in NZ society. It is time our coalition government grew a pair and made society whole again. | Mark |
If this goes ahead we just have to look at Zimbabwe because that is where we are heading | laurie |
We are heading for the 1860’s again. So be it ..lets sort it out once and for ALL ! | Alan |
We see it every day pretty much. It must be stopped. | Andrew |
By stealth. | Neil |
I feel very sad that NZ has come to this point, all through lies, secrecy and deceit by people put into positions of trust | Sandra |
= Apartheid | Laurie |
It is sad to think, as a new zealander, there so much hatred and division from a few groups, this country may turn to civil war…. | Al |
absolutely yes, imagine how well the country would be doing fiscally and democratically if we werent constantly pandering to an outspoken minority | john |
Of course, but that was always the aim. I notice that DOC has been looking foe donations and increases in charges to use the walking tracks. If they wern’t distributing their money as bonuses to their officers for speaking Maori (the more fluent, the bigger the bonus) they might have enough to get by. And as for Hipkins, everybody should remember he was Ardern’s lapdog and completely complicit with all Labours decisions.Isn’t he able to make a living elsewhere? | Terry |
how can we “partnership” when iwi want control, and priority | gaye |
Their claim that it is uniting NZers is a complete & total lie. Just have to read through it to see the truth. | Nick |
We need a petition for a binding referendum at the next election on the removal of the Maori seats. We have had enough of this radicalized nonsense from the Te Pati Maori . These seats have to go! | Ian |
This agenda is destroying New Zealand as well as undermining our society. | Jan |
The problem is that there are no more full blooded maori left in New Zealand so we shouldn’t be going down this track??? | Les |
Definitely believe that the Judges are very much in Favour of the Maori Claims believing the Waitangi Tribunal & being sympathetic to their cause. | Michael Andrew |
It’s a Marxist and racist cancer in our midst. | Peter |
It’s a problem that could lead hundreds of thousands of New Zealanders leaving their homeland and leaving behind a wracked and ruined country, divided by race .No one wants to live in such a country. The economy will crash and both Maori and everyone else, will be infinitely worse off | Luke |
Firstly get rid of the Waitangi Tribunal then the Maori seats in parliament and then push Seymour’s bill through parliament .when we see insport the culture change that has come about it is making this country very diversive as them and us and we want more. | Ken |
Certainly is!!! | Tim |
bring back one nation one people | Mat |
Totally undemining | John |
No doubt about it they are and the sooner we get a Government that understands this the better. | Garth |
The Treaty confirms Maori ceded sovereignty – end of story. Majority of Kiwis including Maori, have a gutsful of the BS invented by activist,so-called Maori . | John |
Of course it is – as planned – an absolute travesty!! | Margaret |
The Maori seats are by definition a racist construct pure and simply and must go. Now! | Richard |
Absolutely… and the Ardern government gave the undermining of society wings. | Peter |
Yes, they have taken over my incorporated society and plan to force marxist anti-racism and critical awareness training upon us. Time to establish a new one. | Chris |
Blatantly obvious. | William |
If it is allowed to proliferate, without the rule of Democracy being precedent, the Maori agenda will be allowed to rule, and the trouble will start !! | David |
Absolutely, ALL references to anything Maori in legislation should be removed. Tow is past its use by date | Gareth |
When the Maori separatists flag is described by RNZ as being a symbol of liberation and identity you know the rest of NZ has a problem. | Bazza |
Of course it is. Our society won’t flourish, or even survive under the ‘Maori’ version of sovereignty ie tribal rule. Didn’t work in 1840 and it won’t work now. We need to work together to move on, if only our leaders could sort out a waay of doing it. | Lee |
en route to apartheid | Peter |
I am old, and I remember a much more unified country. Nothing is ever perfect, but I think NZ was one of the best countries in the world for race relations. The proof of that lies in the fact that there are no Maori people now, just people with a mixed ancestry, including Maori. | Leonie |
it has gone too far and needs dumping immediately | Collin |
So… This they have taken strategy advice from the PLO. What has the PLO achieved, apart from poverty, war and destruction? Having watched TVNZ news article on Labours conference and the enamored responce from the syncopathic audience, I fear for NZ, Have these people no intelligence? It makes me think of cattle being led to slaughter. | Andrew |
Democracy must rule – one person one vote NO MAORI SEATS!! | DAVID |
Every thing Maori needs to be reviewed. This country is New Zealand NOT Aotearoa. | Heather |
No place for Marxist agenda anywhere in NZ politics. Govt must step up shut down Maori institutions all together. | Norman |
Absolutely…..As an ex Uni graduate, I am appalled at the indoctrination that is underway in all of NZ’s Universities. And now booklets are being distributed to all Primary schools as another way to influence the thinking of our younger generation. | bruce |
What will it take to stop the radical takeover?. | Brenda |
But don’t expect National to do much about it. They have barely scratched the surface regarding their commitments to the Coalition agreements they signed with ACT and NZFirst, and appear loathe to challenge Maori activism. In typical National fashion they’re probably hoping it’s just going to go away. | Derek |
Root out Maori activism in NZ | Steve |
he explanation as to how and why comes from a left wing and lazy mainstream media…which will be usurped by Social platforms. | gavin |
What is happening now in New Zealand has been going on in many Westernised countries for some time. It is a well laid out plan to destroy western democracy by basically taking over the government of a country by radicalism. | Gifford |
Absolutely ! | Craig |
Definitely. | Mike |
Yes they’re destroying NZ | Gavin |
“Undermining our society” is a gross understatement. The Maori sovereignty agenda aim is clearly to totally destroy our society, and the abolition of democracy in this country, with the ultimate aim of the expulsion of everyone who does not have Maori ancestry. Rhodesia part two. Yet Luxon still sits on the barbed wire fence, too afraid to do anything about the treasonous activists, most especially those who sit in Parliament, the most “colonial of all institutions in this land. Sack Luxon, National Party with urgency, please. | Colin |
Yes – totally. | Ron |
Absolutely. Already gone way too far, aided by New Zealand’s incorrect use of MMP | Russ |
Our democracy is being severely undermined by a racist tribal agenda that is being allowed to happen. It signals a dire future for our nation. | Gordon |
No doubt about it and it is ruining this country and our rights for all New Zealanders to be treated as equal. This is what the TOW stated: EQUAL RIGHTS FOR ALL. | Robyn |
What other reason do Maori have other than this. Maori whole agenda is to create division, and they talk about those without Maori ancestry as causing division, whrn all along it is the other way around. | Peter |
Most noticeably through the media when they promote Maori names and titles, eg, of major cities and regions like Tamaki Makaurau and Aotearoa. | Terry |
IT IS SIMPLE. You can not have one race of people having more rights and privileges than every other race in New Zealand. That is separatism, which is apartheid, which is RACIST. | Rex |
Not only undermining but dividing society even at family levels | robin |
Sadly it is and been driven by only a few. Totally un necessary when we supposed to be one | Lindsay |
its too blatantly obvious to need comment. and as for Hipkins recent speech about our Pacific security this fellow should go back to Kindergarden where he belongs and get out of politics | anthony |
Not only undermining , but destroying out society. | Michael |
Without a doubt Maori activism plays a major role in undermining the cohesion of this country. This is why Adern and her cronies were so anxious to destroy. A divided country is a weak country, ready for her Maoist CCP bedfellows to take over. | Jenny |
All part of the radical Maori elite’s plan. | Peter |
Maori are people are settlers like the colonials and all of their culture being forced upon us is a bullying tactic. Their culture is theirs, it should be in the realms of tourism and displays where people choose to enjoy or not. | Sharron |
stone-age idiots do not belong in modern NZ | chris |
It’s been obvious for 30 years or more. We need politicians with ‘backbone’ to reverse what they have allowed to develop. | Laurie |
Frighteningly so. | Shirley |
Democracy is the name of the game & we have ALL the same rights when living in a Democracy! Nothing else! | Dominique Greenslade (Mrs) |
After reading the recent article you have just published it all starts to make sense how Maori have cunningly hi-jacked all government depts Etc. Unless Luxon puts an end to it all? NZ is doomed to becoming another Rhodesia. | Wayne |
It is out of control and the Govt is slow to turn it around | John |
Marxism 101 and Luxon is allowing it to happen. | Max |
More and more. Maori culture can be respected, but parliamentary sovereignty must remain supreme on a non racial basis. | Willy |
Yes No question and it is exactly what the Maori Party wants | Cookie |
Beyond all doubt. It is the single most damaging millstone around the neck of New Zealand, dragging us down, destroying the fabric of the country | Tracy |
absolutely | Erin |
Absolutely! In the 1980’s or early 1990’s Tipene O’Regan said stated You will come with us or words to that effect, meaning Maori will be in control in the future. The threat being Get used to the idea! | Gail |
Absofrikenlutely | Tracy |
Our nation has been seduced radicalises within our education & other State entities into accepting lies as truth | Gordon |
The lies they are spouting are unreal then comes the bully boy behaviour when they can’t get their own way I am fed up with paying and paying for their perceived grievances based on those lies. Enough. They CEDED sovereignty end of | Carolyn |
TV3 the other still showed logo for TE WHATU ORA (Health NZ smaller underneath) With the media this biased, there is little hope | Marianne |
Yes most definitely. I liken it to an invasive cancer which needs to be cut out ASAP and thrown in the rubbish bin of history. It has no part to play in the governance of our beautiful country and like tribalism benefits only a few at the expense of everyone else. | Allan |
What has become evident in this whole debate about Maori sovereignty, is that the strategy adapted from the Palestine Liberation Front revolutionaries has been very effective in laying the foundations for tribal rule here in New Zealand. The Zionist Corporate Apartheid Agenda. | neil |
NZ is rapidly heading towards becoming an apartheid nation. If we don’t stop the relentless march moari sovereignty, New Zealand as we currently know it is doomed to a dismal future | Glen |
Simply because it is backed by a biased interpretation of the treaty | David |
vile insidious racism is not democracy.one person one vote.end off. | chris |
Hell yes | Susan |
Unquestionably. You have clearly set out many reasons why . The question is WHAT . IS GOVERNMENT DOING TO ARREST AND REVERSE IT ? Where is your commitment to your election undertakings PM Luxon ? WHERE IS YOUR INTEGRITY? | Hugh |
Definitely, but don’t expect Luxon to knock it on the head. He’s not nicknamed te reo for nothing! National under such leadership should be obliterated at the next election with other right of centre parties taking control. | Alan |
Very much so | Anthony |
It is not just undermining our society, it ALREADY has! PM Luxon and National are missing in action and must step up to root out the cancer tht the weaponising of the Treaty has enabled. | Doug |
Yes, the whole Maori Racial agenda was initiated, by Ardern and her WHO/W.E.F/U.N. gang as well as her BROWNSHIRTS… that put in place the future ongoing racial plan, at the same time, where they forceibly foisted a poison BIO- WEAPON JAB, on innocent New Zealanders, most of her gang, are still in hiding and need to be brought to justice for their crimes! A criminal INVESTIGATION is needed! we are in a WAR! | David |
For sure . Time is ticking as to whether this can be halted. But this must be put to the people in stark terms by legally binding referendum: Do you choose democracy or ethnocracy? | Mary |
Yes – Maori sovereignty is divisive and ugly. It must be stamped out. Biculturalism must be removed along with Treaty references. It has all gone on for far too long. If we don’t fix it now it will be too late. | David |
Dividing people by race is dangerous. It should never have been allowed to get so far. | Murray |
Get rid of biculturalism, the Treaty and everything related to this awful agenda. We need NZ to be united. One people under one flag. | Pauline |
Yes, the sovereignty agenda is dangerous. But does this government – and Prime Minister – have the courage to do anything about it? Let’s hope so – for the sake of our country. | Hugh |
Jacinda Ardern is to blame for increasing the radicalisation of society. By unleashing separatism throughout the State sector, including our schools, she lit the fuse of the racial unrest we are seeing today. And for that she gets knighted – how can that be? | Frank |
