maori protest first day of parliament

[Lilith7]

Nothing in the treaty demands two classes of people, nor does it require a maori health authority.
The maori today were protesting against democracy.
NZ has been far too divided and it's time to treat everyone here in this country as one people regardless of race or ancestry.
Equal rights and treatment for everyone, no place for race based Healthcare.
Luxon is undoing all the divisive policies labour put in place.
Nz first and act both have maori MPs along with national anyway, but get slammed as racist.
Good news is winston and Seymour won't back down and I'm sure luxon will demonstrate that he can unite everyone with a health system treats everybody the same.

That really is utter nonsense. The democratic right to protest is something which is vital in any democracy; the day we lose that is the day we no longer have democracy.

The present govt has cynically used anti Maori feeling to get where they are, but they have badly underestimated the value most Kiwis place on the treaty in their rush to grab the racist vote.

They prefer to ignore the appalling health statistics & pretend that somehow, Maori might get/have been getting in some way 'special treatment'.

The differnce between equality & equity.
