David Seymour & the treaty

[Lilith7]

Its convenient for some though, to claim that Maori are somehow getting 'special treatment' & ignore that what's happening is an attempt to make sure that we're all getting closer to having equity for everyone.
Which is what ACT appears to be doing for reasons best known to those in the ACT party.

Seymour seems to be obsessional about several issues,  but particularly in his total denial of the effects of colonisation.   He talks as if colonisation didn't happen and I'm sure the local news media could do more to unpick this convenient blind spot.

Has Seymour ever been interviewed by a Māori journalist?   I don't follow his interviews as he makes me feel ill.

I saw the interview Moana did with him recently; it was the second & since in the first they'd both lost the plot slightly & talked over each other, they'd agreed not to do so again. Its probably still available on Maori TV, Te Ao is the programme I think.

So it was David Seymour talking in a very controlled tone, with Moana also being extremely careful not to talk over him. I'm not sure how she managed such a feat of self control, particularly when he evaded questions by subject changing - but she did seem to be blinking a hell of a lot. The woman deserves a medal imo.
