Policies a threat to treaty partnership
Waikato-Tainui executive chair Tukoroirangi Morgan says the present Government as the most racist in this county’s history – and Māori won’t lie down and take it.
He says policies announced so far are an all out attack on Māori people and well-being,
They discount initiatives such as the revitalisation of te reo Māori which were the result of hard work and activism by previous generations of Māori communities and leaders.
“At the heart of it is nationhood. This is an attack on the constitutional fabric of the treaty that guarantees us rights as a meaningful partner, as a real and authentic partner in the political process and also the life of this country,” Mr Morgan says.
