That government agencies are effectively thumbing their noses at official directives and getting away with it without consequences is totally unacceptable. Until the coalition confronts and defeats this ‘enemy within’, their own policy platform remains largely ineffective.
Whether we like it or not, what was a gradual shift towards tribal rule is now advancing rapidly. We can either turn a blind eye or step up to stop it.
The Supreme Court has escalated the battle, not only by failing in its duty to interpret the law as parliament intended, but also by deliberately undermining the coalition government’s attempt to legislate to fix the law.
Unless the coalition steps up and forces the removal of Treaty clauses, not only in legislation but in constitutions and operational protocols throughout the state sector, the Māori sovereignty movement will continue to march on.
The reality is that parliament’s Māori seats have been weaponised.
There are many lessons for New Zealand in the US election outcome. Firstly, it’s very clear that politicians who lose touch with the sentiment of ordinary folk do so at their peril. National should take note.
To put it into perspective, the value of the 1974 scheme would have far eclipsed the combined value of the New Zealand Super Fund at $79 billion, KiwiSaver at $110 billion, and the stock exchange at $165 billion.
This highlights the scale of the challenge faced by the coalition as they defend New Zealand’s democracy from the constant attack of radicals now firmly entrenched within our institutions and political system.
The coalition was elected to put things right. To do that it needs to be tougher than it has been to date. Red tape and bureaucracy are still out of control in this country.
NZ cannot afford to have activist judges effectively privatise our entire coastline to tribal interests to exploit for their own benefit. We would urge everyone concerned about the future of our coastline to send in a submission before the 15 October deadline.
The reality is that the way we fund public services in the future needs to change if this country is to maintain high living standards and avoid bankruptcy.
The radicalism and division of state-funded biculturalism has become a handbrake that’s not only holding back our country and constraining our future but is threatening the unity that binds together our diverse society.
The reality is that He Puapua is alive and well in local government and in spite of the coalition pledge to ‘Stop all work on He Puapua’, it is now so rampant that it is threatening to take over the sector entirely, with very significant consequences for ratepayers.
A more direct approach will be needed to get the sector back on track: trimming the bureaucracy and operations to ensure council rate increases are no greater than the rate of inflation, instigating debt repayment plans and undoing the grip of tribal interests would be a good start.
These dreadful developments were the result of Labour’s unmandated decision to increase tribal control over local government.
if the coalition’s proposed law change contains “tikanga”, it cannot safeguard the public interest in the coast from the actions of activist judges in the future.
