In a mindbogglingly inane contributory NZ Herald article Rob Campbell, chairman of Auckland’s casino (among other sinecures) asks, “Who on earth is being hurt by co-governance?”. I’ll answer that by stating the obvious. We all are.

In a democracy the underlying principle is an equal value vote accorded every citizen, regardless of their intellectual differences, contribution to society, ethnicity, and so on.

It’s hard to think of a more disgraceful abuse of this principle than according 50% of governance to an ethnic group that makes up a mere 2% of the population, that is citizens with 50% or more of Maori ethnicity. It’s not bloody hard Rob.

Being fashionably trendy about fictitious Maori wonderfulness will be the principal reason (among many others) the government will be decimated in the next election.

The Refusal To Investigate This

Not interviewing the complainant is the most fundamental investigative failure that there is. Not only that, but not a single one of the police officers who arrested me and lied about me was interviewed either. If I made errors of this magnitude at work I would lose my job.

And So Failure Becomes Proof

If we genuinely want a society that flourishes, the answer is not racial division, grievance politics, or endless attempts to save people from themselves. The answer is much older, much simpler, and far more powerful.

Ngāi Tahu in Breach of the Law?

If one party in the coalition wants voting dominance then campaign on equality for all plus getting rid of the Waitangi Tribunal and the Māori electorates. Neither serves a useful purpose and both are well past their use by dates. It has to be ACT or NZ First, preferably both.
