MAORI WON'T PAY FOR CO-GOVERNANCE MISTAKES

'Increasingly politicised' - Ardern-speak for increasingly criticised

Ah - actually, Willie Jackson, Rawiri Waititi, Debbie Ngarewa-Packer and the rest of you activists, in real terms it doesn't matter that you're Maori. God doesn't care if you're Maori. He doesn't care if you're 'tangata whenua' (meaning the people who have the right to be here). Or 'tangata tiriti' (which means the people who are lucky to be here - the Philippino or Chinese or European or any of the 213 ethnicities who call New Zealand home). To God we're simply His children. 

Through Te Tiriti and the fair-mindedness of Pakeha, Maori have acquired billions of dollars which they did nothing to earn, practically speaking. It's made some Maori into bullies and co-governance is the way they intend to go about their bullying.

The Stop Co-Governance tour of New Zealand elicited - at least in Nelson - what could well be described as standover tactics, from agitators who intend that Co-Governance will Start, No Matter What. The speaker could not make himself heard for shouts of "racist!" "Liar!" and much banging of drums and walls.

Co-governance is nothing of the sort. It's racism of the inverse sort. It's discrimination and it spells the end of democracy. It'll be the colour of their skin that gets Maori appointed onto councils where, by representing only 17% of the population, they will have just as much say as those who speak for the other 83%, and who are elected by that 83% to do so.

The media peddle the lies because they’re paid to, schools indoctrinate the kids so as to retain funding, the police do nothing about illegal acts and vile threats by Julian’s opponents, and the politicians promise the world to apartheid peddlers just to stay in power while kiwis appear to take a “she’ll be right” stance.https://thebfd.co.nz/2023/07/14/vote-to-stop-co-governance-in-its-tracks/

 

New Zealanders are being led to believe that co-governance is necessary, inevitable, and does not affect our democracy.

It is nothing to be scared about, according to our current Prime Minister. One person, one vote is too simplistic, says the Prime Minister before him.

WE ARE BEING LIED TO. 

Co-governance is not co-operation and consultation as we are being told. It is division and discrimination.

Co-governance is the appointment of the unelected onto councils and in roles that make important decisions simply because they are Maori. Democracy does not exist where 50% of the decision makers are not elected. Nor where 20% or 1% are not elected.

Democracy is equal suffrage. Equal voting rights. You can't have a partial democracy. It is all or nothing.

 

Thomas Sowell

 As highly respected economist Thomas Sowell says:

“It is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong.”

When decisions are made by those who cannot be voted out when they get it wrong, and who have no mandate through a democratic process, our democracy is lost.

I will say it again: co-governance is the appointment of the unelected, to make decisions that will affect us all.

This election we are voting to protect our rights to make sure the power of government remains with those who are elected by the people of New Zealand.

Never before has it been more important to have your voice heard.

You will hear a lot of discussion about co-governance in the weeks leading up to the election and you will hear lots of commentary about democracy. You may even spot a billboard or two...

We will be working to counter the false and sanitising narrative that co-governance is an obligation and therefore a done deal. 

New interpretations of the Treaty are used to make outrageous claims about what the Government 'owes' Maori, but we have an existing system to deal with historic wrongs and we should be avoiding racialising the future of our country at all costs. 

Co-governance isn't a power tussle between Maori and white New Zealanders. It isn't just those with European ancestry who are on the other side of this division of our country. It also involves every single New Zealander from any one of the around 200 ethnicities represented here. 

Why should any New Zealander - of any ancestry - have less of a say in electing representatives and decision makers?Don Brash <hello@hobsonspledge.nz>
