When Is a Marae Not a Marae?

Maori arrogance has run smack into Aboriginal wokeness and it isn't pretty.

You have to laugh at the woke hive mind and Māori arrogance, especially when they run smack bang in to each other.

A Sydney-based Māori group is proceeding with its development of a ‘marae’, despite pushback from local Aboriginal people.

Sydney Marae Alliance (SMA) chairperson Louise Cooper (Ngāti Hine) said the multi-purpose cultural centre is to be all-inclusive of Māori, Pasifika, and Aboriginal peoples, providing cultural education, a place for hui, wānanga and events, and will give Māori somewhere to connect.

“It will have the āhuatanga (characteristics) of a marae, and it will encompass all of the things that are natural to us as Māori.”
