Comments left open, amazing as this is potentially controversial. Maybe TVNZ is finally growing a pair rather than constantly trying to control the narrative with biased reporting.

Maori are NOT 16% of the NZ population, if you are 80% European and 20% Maori you are not "Maori" you are "part Maori", and this describes most Kiwis on the so called Maori electoral role. Inconvenient for Maori activists, math's does not lie or have any racist agendas.

Act was force into this action due to a number of racist separatist policies being introduced by the last government, not all Maori support this kind of racist separatism.

Not sure why he would want to meet with groups wanting racist separatist polies based on skin colour or ethnicity, its the right call.

Yea some of these presenters like this one is terrible, she does not even posses the skills to "appear" neutral when interviewing people with opposing political views to her own, TV NZ has slipped a long long way from even 10 years ago.

You are talking about the average Kiwi against racist separatism, many of the people are Maori like Winston Peters, but he is not "your kind" of Maori ah bro!
11
Keep in mind these Maori do not represent all Maori not even close, many Maori are sick of the push to introduce separatist racist polices in NZ. The NZ media barely acknowledge Winston Peters is Maori, apparently you have to be a certain kind of Maori to get media support.
11
Yep!, TVNZ leaves the comments open for this, but closes comments on anything to do with NZ's previous governments separatist racist polices, controlling the narrative and not allowing the average Kiwi viewer to express an opinion or even discuss, its disgusting.

Its VERY obvious to me the comment section was opened due to the new government, the NZ media has been allowed to own the narrative in NZ for the last 3-6 years with very little ability for the general public to voice an opinion at least in the YouTube comments.

@Matika_awatea If I saw a government introducing a "whites only" health authority I can assure you I would be just as vocal. Can you explain to me why the last government introduced a "Maori Health Authority" rather than a "Polynesian Health Authority", knowing that Kiwis with Fijian and Tongan ancestry have exactly the same health challenges as Maori?.
9
@stuchatterton6550 Easy example, Maori health Authority, why was it not a "Polynesian Health Authority" considering Kiwis with Fijian and Tongan ancestry face exactly the same health challenges as Maori. Its called a racist power grab, supported by people with good intentions but did not think it through.

We need to pay more attention to the actions of Maori for the next 50 years after the signing, Maori knew exactly what they signed. All this "interpretation" BS only popped up in the 1970's.

I have an Indian Doctor and a Chinese Dentist, I never realised as a "white guy" I am getting sub standard medical treatment, who knew !

I have had a Maori boss (part Maori), Maori school friends and work colleagues over the years all good people. I am only against racist Maori extremist groups wanting South Africa Apartheid like separatist policies. I would be equally against non Maori Kiwis wanting their vote to carry more individual weight than someone else, racists always have some historical reason for being racist.

@Matika_awatea Maori ceded sovereignty to the Crown and in return became British Crown Subjects (aka Citizens) with all the same equal rights as UK colonists with the right to vote etc. lol not sure what your point is here.
6
I have read BOTH versions where Maori tribes that signed ceded Sovereignty to the British Crown and in return got Crown protection by becoming British subjects (we now call it NZ citizens today) , stop preaching what you "think" you know and simply read it yourself mate. The Te Reo version is a tiny less than 500 words document while the English version is double the size but still tiny at 1000 words. There is nothing in there about Co-governance, Health care, water rights or any other complete BS that has popped up since about the 1970's. There is only vague references to land ownership with no detailed charter about who owns what. All so called Crown land today is owned by all Kiwis ironically including Maori who are NZ citizens that vote in the modern democratic government that is tasked to oversea that land.
6
@HabitualFixation FYI The word "Aotearoa" does not appear in the Treaty of Waitangi which you may find surprising. The reason is Maori tribes prior to European settlers(and after) were often at war with each other. There was no united country to call by any name. "Aotearoa" historically mean North island as that was the first land spotted. South Island tribes never referred to their lands as Aotearoa.

He fails to talk about the impact to Farmers which is NZ largest export sector $$, he also failed to talk about how 3 waters was another power grab by racist Maori radical groups. Nothing wrong with making improvement, but leave racist power grabbing groups out of it, and don't cripple NZ's biggest source of income unless you want to live in a poor country
6
There was something else going on with the last government other than just innocently renaming all government departments in Te Reo. Also creating a "Maori Health Authority" was nothing more than racism imho, especially when other Polynesians like Fijian's and Tongans in NZ also have the same health challenges, why just Maori !.
6
We would talking about important New Zealand topics, however TVNZ turns off the comment section on ANY NZ video that is even remotely controversial, especially topics like the racists separates polices of the last government. TVNZ really likes to try and control the native due to prior governments funding model $$. Lets see what Winston does with TVNZ in 2024 :P

@bluesimpkins-jones9742 If you are 80% European and 20% Maori, math's clearly demonstrates you are mostly "not" Maori as you are mostly something else. That's the cool thing about math's, no opinions expressed in books or racist agendas present. Secondly no human ethnic group is better or worse than another, no one should be "cherry picking" who they really are to meet a racist agenda or to seek advantage over others.

@MrShoblang Some Maori are trying to introduce racist separatist polices based on ethnicity, you should never support that anywhere mate.

@ManaBlack208 You don't like factual history, got it !

MMP has been a disaster for NZ, it usually allows parties with a tiny percentage of the vote to hold all the balance of power. That said Winston Peters loves MMP, he is technically Maori but heavily favors leaving the past where it belongs "in the past:, and just getting on with it as one people where everyone is equal regardless of skin color or ethnicity. The risk with MMP is if a racist minority extremists group held the balance of power, and yes NZ does have one, not to name names.
5
Hurry up Winston, get rid of this public servant turning off the comment section.
5
@Kult365 Keep in mind native South Africans could not vote mate, Maori have had the vote sine the 1800's. But yes laws and government departments should never be created based on race or skin colour, it should be for all.
5
Maori citizens have equal rights and the right to vote and have had for around 170 years, many voted for this current government as NZ was being down a racist separatist path by certain Maori extremist groups, one wears an American cowboy hat.

Funny how TVNZ leaves comments open for this fluff story, but too afraid to leave comments open for anything that really matters.

I have an Indian doctor and a Chinese dentist, I am really struggling to understand why I should care about their ethnic background, or why any Maori should care.

If you mean National refuses to support policies that favor skin color or a certain ethnicity over another you are correct, we call that racism.
4
Kiwis with Māori ethnicity don't need anyone to bat for them as they have equal rights and the right to vote, same as everyone else.
4
TVNZ has turned comments off again on most of its new videos, absolute cowards.
4
@MediVacPack Saying everyone should be equal regardless of color or Ethnic background is racist?, are you familiar with the term woke?
4
@DW_Kiwi To be fair a lot of Maori are embarrassed by what has been occurring in NZ, its not all Maori just a small percentage, but very vocal and visible radical group.
4
No its a hate "racist Maori extremists" hate fest, thats a tiny percentage of Maori. If you believe all Kiwis should be equal regardless of skin colour or ethnicity, where every vote carries the same weight, then you are in the right place.
4
@Kult365 Talking about all Polynesian (including Maori) Kiwis living in NZ mate, creating government departments based on race is a slippery slope, ask South Africa.

Winston 1 - TVNZ 0 , oh and Winston is only just getting started, you guys need to look for new jobs.

@jame2433 Well it was Jacinda introducing separatist racist policies like a Maori Health Authority. When you consider other Kiwis with Polynesian ancestry like Fijian and Tongan have "exactly" the same health challenges you realise something pretty dodgy was going on to say the least.

He is a bit of a troll :P, you can tell he is annoyed due to the personal attacks and going off on random tangents lol

@Kult365 Just teaching you factual history mate, nothing more, you don't have to like it.

@JohnSmith-vs2ri At the end of the day, if trucks pay more, you pay more for everything.
