May peace be widespread Kia hora te marino
May the sea be like greenstone Kia whakapapa pounamu te moana
A pathway for us all this day Hei huarahi mā tātou i te rangi nei
Let us show respect for each other Aroha atu Aroha mai
For one another Tātou i ā tātou katoa
Bind us all together! Hui ē! Tāiki ē!
Happy Christmas Meri Kirihimete
I am a New Zealander but neither a Maori or NZ European.
What I didn’t like is Plunkets assertion that the ‘wrongs‘ of the past have to be righted! By who, a modern day multi ethnic tax payer who had NOTHING to do what happened 200 years ago. And what about the benefits Māori gained from NZ being settled by immigrants over the last 150 years? Can we have all the benefits back as well?
As long as woke NZers carry on with this to ideology, NZ will continue to decay and taxpayers hard earned dosh will become a giant slush fund for Māori.
What Maori did do was wipe out the indigenous people who were here well before them, the Patupaiarehe and the Turehu without recompense, then almost annihilated the Moriori without no compensation, it was up to the New Zealand govt not the Maori to recompense the Moriori $18000,000 for the wrong doings of the Maori "they only take! never give", but that doesn't stop them holding their hands out for more and more while this comedy of a treaty carries on.💩
Nice to hear DB can still chuckle about things. I admire his courage & conviction. The fact that he & Bassett are 'persona non grata' within some media only demonstrates the steep & slippery slope we're all on here. Kudos to The Platform for...platforming. I know there are gripes from some but for me that is the most important thing & I play their interviews daily. I no longer bother with RNZ.
