Co-governance is being aggressively weaponised by the Chris Luxon led government to dismantle New Zealand’s democracy through a stealth campaign of administrative control and capture.
What makes this of greater concern to New Zealanders is that this incremental creep of co-governance is being abetted, promoted and instituted by the very party that promised to put a stop to it.
Despite their election promises of 2023, these arrangements are accelerating under the National-led government. They are often embedded deeply within local councils, environmental boards, and public service frameworks.
This shift raises a fundamental constitutional question. Why should any tribal group possess a permanent governance role based solely on ancestry? By elevating birthright over equal citizenship, this quiet transition undermines the core principle of democratic accountability.
Why are we seeing a separatist agenda seemingly driven by Luxon and Potaka? Are they trying to deliberately create racial disharmony?
Or is it simply that Luxon believes Māori were utterly stripped of their rights and sovereignty in 1840?
Geoff Parker’s new article exposes how this constitutional restructuring is happening right under our noses and why it threatens not only the future of equal political representation but control and access of the countries recreational areas.
Far from halting this division, the National-led government is actively complicit. They are quietly allowing these undemocratic frameworks to entrench themselves within local councils and government bureaucracy.
This is not partnership: it is an assault on equal citizenship that replaces democratic accountability with permanent, unelected birthright privilege.
Voters are being stripped of their power to sack these tribal elites at the ballot box. Geoff’s post exposes how this quiet coup is being executed right under our noses and why it permanently threatens the survival of true democracy.
