WHAT IS THE CONNECTION BETWEEN ‘HATE SPEECH’ AND ‘INDIGENOUS PEOPLE’ -SELF-DETERMINATION AND SEPERATISM ‘APARTHEID IN NZ’ IS THIS JUST SYMBOLIC GESTURES MADE BY NZ’S NEW COALITION?

Hate Speech and the coined post modernized phrase given to native and tribal peoples throughout the world ‘Indigenous People’ focus on, promote  a ‘self determination’ as to what one deems to be true for oneself, or deliberate pervasively is used to be ‘true’ for ones self through political, social, economically self-interests. ‘The negative harmful mentality of Oppressor vs Victim – the implementing of the State with certain Iwi Elite and certain Iwi/ Maori parliamentarians.  The  radical extremist focus and implementation on Hate Speech as it fits hand in glove with the NZ’s preplanned adoption, entrenchment of the UN Declaration for Indigenous Peoples Rights (As seen in the documentation of the Cabinet’s He Puapua) Which was secretly authored and used until it was eventually exposed.

The focus being on the character assassination of anyone person, group that opposes the governments narrative of a racial divide in NZ, anyone that promotes a One Nation- A One Law for All New Zealanders’ will be deliberately targeted and critically attacked using a toolbox of ‘shut your mouth’ phrases, utilized by the mainstream media purchased by the NZ State. (Much like Goebbels did in Hitlers Germany). The Nazi Regime under Hitler were well into Self Determination’. Self determined to control all people who did not agree with their cruel narratives.

Self-Determination is built into the core of the UN Declaration for Rights of Indigenous People. This includes ‘No discrimination against Indigenous People’ hence ‘No Hate Speech’. However the UN states that ‘Hate Speech’ refers to ‘offensive discourse targeting a group or an individual based on inherent characteristics eg Race, Religion, Gender, that threatens ‘Social Peace’. A kind of communication- speech, writing, behaviour that attacks, pejorative or discriminatory language that references a person or group on the basis of whom they are – for example:-

Race religion, ethnicity, nationality, colour, descent, gender or any other identity factor. To-date the UN has NO UNIVERSAL DEFINITION FOR HATE SPEECH OR MIS-DIS-INFORMATION’ in UN International Human Rights Law. Hence the concept of ‘Hate Speech’ Mis-Dis-Information has caused continuous discussions with UN Agencies eg UNESCO (Specialized UN Agency for Universal Education-Science and Cultural namely Education 2030- Universal Education from the cradle to the grave (for Everyone-Everywhere-at Every age)

Self-Determination’ – Partnership-Principles- and the coined post modernized Indigenous People’ are not included in the Maori Version of the 1840 Te Tirit-o-Waitangi. This was all created by the ‘Dark Side Of Politics’. In the 1960’s-70’s liberation movements were flourishing, in NZ it was the Polynesian Panthers working with some members of the Nga Tamato that rallied for Maori Rights. In the US it was theRed Power (The American Indian Movement) In Canada it was the President of the  Canadian Indian Brotherhood -George Manuel, in Tanzania it was Moringe Ole Parkipuny a member of the Maasai Tribe who had a short stint as a parliamentarian in the Tanzanian Parliaments. 

It was the radical Tanzanian Activist Parkipuny that coined the phrase ‘Indigenous People. Parkipuny and George Manuel expanded this across the world into the UN this led to the implementation of the UNDRIP (UN Declaration) that was first adopted into the UN Assembly in 2007. George Manual established the UN World Indigenous Council. August 3rd 1989 Parkipuny evolved as he spoke at a gathering in Geneva before the working group on Indigenous Population. Coining this a now ‘Indigenous People’

In 1971 Justin Treudeu’s father Pierre Trudeau arranged for a Canadian delegation, that included George Manuel to visit NZ. Manuel whilst in NZ spoke with a number of Maori politicians on the concept of Parkipuny’s coined phrase ‘Indigenous people’. All tribal and native peoples being classified as ‘Indigenous People’ which in turn romanticized ‘tribal feudalism’. Where tribes were seen as peaceful, as they roamed the forests, and sat by the clear pristine waters. Dismissing history as it really was to blame all on ‘colonization’. Totally ignoring the massive benefits that the colonies bought to New Zealand. The Canadian delegation including Manuel then went on to the Northern territories of Australia,, where Manuel gave a speech to Aboriginal students at a University promoting Parkipuny’s ‘Indigenous People’ concept.

The Original Te Tiriti O Waitangi does not include:- Principles, Partnership, Indigenous Peoples or Self Determination Interests and Rights of a Māori Sovereignty. The insanity grows as the ‘Whanganui River’ is officially gained ‘Personhood’  Even the Whanganui River has gained ‘personhood’. However, if the Whanganui River overflows its banks, floods peoples homes, and people die, farmers loose livestock, crops, their life’s savings in farming  will the custodians of the Whanganui River having Personhood be to blame? (Or will they revert back to this is just the nature of things not man-made climate doomist) Of course that will  be Self Determination’ self-determined by the so called ‘Indigenous People’. (Whatever cap fits at the time) As the same as Hate Speech ‘self determined’ – Self Determination.

The post modernization of the Old Latin word  meaning ‘in’ or ‘within’- beget or to be born. The UN determined that the Rights of Indigenous People are through the fundamental criteria of ‘Self-determination’. The UN also states Hate Speech- Mis-dis-information is also through ‘Self determination’ how the receiver chooses to perceive it. (A fundamental self- identifying criteria). Masny groups of native, tribal people worldwide do not identify themselves as ‘Indigenous People’. Do not see themselves as self interested  (the first up is the best dressed concept)’

The intensity, global expansion of everything, everyone being decolonized through the concept of  ‘Critical Race Theory’, the shaming of children in the school curriculum for their ancestry. The decolonization of everything everyone, changing of street names, places etc., Parliamentary Agencies, NGO’s and even the clothing racks in the Salvation Army shop gets Māori names at certain times of the year. Ardern’s Cabinet secret document on He Puapua  was exposed to the public not published in Parliament for us all to see. The pre-determined entrenchment of the UNDRIP throughout NZ Society, Economy, politics. The de-colonizing of everything, everywhere.

UNDRIP ‘Indigenous Veto Rights Over Others’, Ownership- control of lands-territories, Veto Rights over Parliamentary Law. Control and ownership on Natural Resources in NZ. ‘A Political Economy of Neo-Tribalism’ a Neo-Tribal Capitalism the emergence of the Iwi Elite. The Discursive Strategies of Māori Tribal Elite . The constructing indigeneity as a polity in opposition to the Nation. People, Power or Ethnic Elites?. All authored by Prof Elizabeth Rata world renown scholar-professor.  She wrote “If the Iwi approach were to be successful, the consequences for NZ are serious will undermine the integrity of NZ as a Nation”. Her references were to ‘Property Rights’, the privatizing of large public socio-economic assets into the hands of Iwi Corporations. The inclusion of Iwi into the Nations Constitutional Arrangements will undermine the integrity of New Zealand as a Nation” she wrote. This was authored approximately 1 year after John Key under a veil of secrecy arranged with the Deputy Leader of the Maori Party (Pita Sharples)  to attend the UN where he signed the UNDRIP

The UNDRIP first adopted in the UN Assembly in 20017 (13th September). Rosemary Banks represented NZ she explained to all that gathered why NZ was rejecting the UNDRIP, would not ratify it. She spoke about 4 Provisions within the UN Declarations that were opposed to. The non-compliancy to NZ’s Constitutional Arrangements, Indigenous Veto Rights over that of others, ownership-control of the entire land of NZ even that which is legally owned by others. Veto Rights over Parliamentary legislation. Control-ownership of NZ’s Natural Resources.

2 Days later 15/9/2007 Maori Affairs Minister  Parekura Horomia confirmed  in a speech at the Beehive what Rosemary Banks  at the UN.  The Maori Party was absolutely Pro the UN Declaration. Horomia told the Maoria Party to get their heads out of the clouds. Later Pita Sharples paid tribute to those Iwi/Maori that helped draft the UNDRIP- Moana Jackson (1990 Chair of the Indigenous Peoples Council at the UN) And to the early 1970’s acticists (Parkipunny and George Manuel were among them) Sharples also referred to Ngandeko Minhinnick and her brother Alec Kaihau, his daughter Aroha Mead and Joe Williams, Erihapeti Murchie, Archie Taiaroa ,Pauline Tangiora and others.

Others whom also became advocates of the UNDRIP Claire Charters, Tracey Whare Moana Sinclair, Catherine Davis were among many. SCOOP News Parliament 7/12/2006 Speech ‘The Maori Party’ Hone Harawira speaker at the Beehive referred to the earlier days of hui around the UNDRIP that also included a delegation that attended the UN Working Group on the UNDRIP, the relationship between the State and Indigenous People. In the delegation were Nganeko Minhinnick, the late Alec Kaihau, Aroha Kaihau, Joe Williams, Hinewhare Harawira and Aroha Mead,

At the signing of the UNDRIP in 2007 Rosemary Banks reported that many whom signed the UN Declaration did not view this as a legality to advance legislations on but a document of Aspiration. However certain Iwi / Māori namely the Māori Council were determined that Sovereignty of NZ would be determined by the use of the 1835 Declaration Of Independence. Doug Graham Treaties Minister gave a speech  in the Beehive on 23rd Feb 1999 as a consequence of the Māori Party wanting to take their claims of Māori Sovereignty to APEC Countries. Doug Graham said he’d be surprised if they were even interested, after-all its none of their business. He referred to Judge Temm who spoke on Maori Sovereingty in 1993, saying it was only of interest to historians. Referencing the course of events and the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi signed in 1840.

When Governor Hobson issued his Proclamation of 21st May that year, and when the Royal Proclamation ratifying the Treaty was published in the Gazette 2nd October 1840. Saying “from that year on the writ of English law began to run in NZ but it had not operated in NZ before this”. It was recognized by London as evidence of the existence of a ‘Sovereign People’. Once the Treaty had been confirmed, sovereignty as it is commonly understood passed from Māori to Britain. Judge Temm stated :If Māori are still sovereign, as some claim.. then Māori have effectively terminated the Treaty, and have no rights under it. They cannot have it both ways. In light of the claimed rights under the Treaty, and the settlement of Crown Breeches of it he would be surprised if Māori want to rescind the Treaty.

He said that the “1835 Declaration of Independence had no standing, that Maori  Sovereignty is totally inconsistent with todays world” That “neither Common Law not the Treaty permit ‘Maori Sovereignty’. English Common Law cannot, did not recognize a challenge to the authority of the Sovereign. The Treaty did not include any concept of ‘Joint Government’ and to keep referencing the Treaty as a Partnership is misleading” said Judge Temm. He concluded that the Māori Councils assertion of Maori Sovereignty has no legal basis, because that would reject the Treaty Of Waitangi itself. He said “We should all work towards a united peaceful country rather than promote separatism and division .

But it still continues the Racial Division and Separation through certain Iwi /Maori Elite for example ‘The IPETCA Partnership Council  (Indigenous Peoples Economic & Trade Cooperation Arrangement ( NZ Govt ). December 2021- brining together officials and Indigenous Representatives to jointly oversee, implement the IPETCA the endorsing of economies. NZ Chairing this partnership for 2 years- Nanaia Mahuta and Damien O’Connor announcing the IOPETCA Initiative Dec 10th 2021, inviting economies to declare their intention to join this.

November 2021  A National Hui took place that provided legal, technical support for constitutional transformation in NZ bringing together overseas experts that offered pragmatic legal advice, legal options for NZ’s Constitutional transformation, this was grounded in the models for transformational change that were proposed in the 2016 Report of Matika Mai Aotearoa. Govt opportunities to engage with legal and academic experts on constitutional law and Indigenous rights. 21-23rd November 2022 the Korero Constitutional Convention was held at Auckland University, again overseas experts were invited to the planned implementation of the transformation of NZ’s Constutional Arrangements. To incorporate, entrench the UNDRIP into NZ’s Constitutional Arrangements. Nanaia Mahuta opened the second day of the event with a speech.

NZ’s Constitutional Arrangements took place at Auckland University between 21-23rd November 2022. The Michael & Suzanne Borrin Foundation gave a grant of $125,000 for the work as to implementing the UNDRIP into NZ between 2020-2021. The Nikau Foundation is the Trustee for the Borrin Foundation, the delivering of transformational change for our Nikau whanau with Corporate Support.

Back to the Tanzanians the Maasai, this is where Parkipuny has led them with his Indigenous Peoples Rights and Interests.

Joe Biden COP27 in Egypt stated in his speech “the importance of Indigenous People in mitigating, adapting to Climate Change”. Another UN Leader refers to Indigenous People, “they must be brought into the fold of Global Human Rights decision making, An Indigenous Leader responds “Let us not forget Climate is the language of Mother Earth.

Praise anything but do not praise Christianity is the message. Praise Islam, Hinduism, Sikhism and Baha’i as well as the New Age Occultist Catholic Priest Teilhard de Chardin. Gore in his plenary address at the 1990 Global Forum Moscow declared that the ecological problems could be solved if we have a common new religion for all people on the planet (The CONVERSATION Academic News Article 14/12/2011) Titled a Long history with Islam gives Indigenous Australians pride (Source Melbourne University).

The 2021 NZ State Government- Country Report on Human Rights Practices in NZ includes Indigenous People; Approx 16.5% of the population claim to be of Maori descent. The Govt bestows specific recognition, rights of Indigenous People enshrined in the laws of New Zealand, in the customs, and practice on Maori persons, Derived from the Treaty Of Waitangi guaranteeing Indigenous People autonomy, self determination- Maori Sovereignty and Self Govt to Maori Persons. Prohibits discrimination against Indigenous Population

The SPINOff News 14th December 2023 ‘News Article titled ‘What would pulling out of the UNDRIP mean for New Zealand? Reports that the National-NZ First will not recognize the UNDRIP as having a binding effect on NZ. UN Declarations are not usually legally binding. It’s the commitment of States to certain aspirations from resolutions adopted by the UN Assembly. They can however become binding on UN Nation States out of ‘Custom’. Customary International Law, for example the UN Declaration of Human Rights 1948. UNDRIP is not legally binding on any country under International law. It’s a set of agreed standards to protect the rights of Indigenous People. (The term coined by Parkipunny Tanzanian Radical Activist and George Manuel President World Council and Canadian Indian Brotherhood). Moral grounds are being used to put pressure on UN Nation States. NZ is seen as a global leader in Indigenous Rights.

The original adoption of UNDRIP 13th Sept 2007 UN Assembly NZ Rejected this, as being fundamentally incompatible with NZs Constitution and Legal Arrangement and the Treaty Settlement Policy. Objections included Article 26 on lands & territories also resources. Article 28 on rights to redress (Compensation of the entire lands of NZ) Article 19 & 32 to obtaining free, prior and informed consent. Maori Affairs Minister Parekura  Horomia said Article 26 “appears to require recognisition of rights to land now lawfully owned by other citizens, ignoring contemporary reality, this would be impossible to implement. He raised concerns about different classes of citizenship, that Indigenous People would have veto rights over parliamentary decision making not held by others. The Labor Govt of the day stated that the “UN Declaration breeched the Treaty Of Waitangi because it gives Māori special rights over other citizens”

2010 National Govt in coalition with the Maori Party reversed NZ’s rejection of the UN Declaration and announced its support for it, Pita Sharples signed the declaration at UN New York Headquarters. He Puapua was commissioned in 2019 by Labour-NZ First Govt to investigate how NZ could implement the commitments to the UN Declaration UNDRIP, outlining a roadmap to achieve what is known as ‘Vision 2040’. The vision realizing UNDRIP in entrenched in NZ by the year 2030. 200th anniversary of the signing of the Treaty Of Waitangi

The Cabinets He Puapua report recommendations included.. A separate Maori Court System  * Health System *Parliament *Mmaori Wards *Compulsory Te Reo in schools – putting it into legislation and much more. National Party and Act called this racial separatism, the creation of a two tiered governance system, but Labour said “He Puapua is merely a report, not govt policy”. But it was veiled in secrecy until exposed.

David Seymour called for all parties to renounce the UNDRIP, saying that Helen Clark in 2007 got it right by rejecting it when it was first adopted at the UN in 2007. John Key got it wrong in 2010 when he arranged for Pita Sharples to sign the UN Declaration that has created division. He said “ The He Puapua report demanding it transforms NZ’s Constitutional Arrangement with ‘Declaration Compliance by year 2040’. 2023 one of the provisions of the National -NZ First Coalition agreement “Stopping all work on He Puapua”. UNDRIP will have no binding effects, nothing more than symbolic effects.

In face-to-face interactions, symbolic gestures are frequently used to show approval, calm down a heated exchange. Is the Act, NZ First National Coalition sane enough to reject the UNDRIP where all other countries have ratified it? Symbolic Gesture does not mean that this Indigenous concept coined by radical activist just prior to 1970 Parkipuny of Tanzania who coined the post modernized phrase ‘Indigenous People’. That  George Manuel President of Canada’s  Indian Brotherhood introduced to Māori Politicians in 1971 on his visit to NZ with a Canadian delegation. The Self-determined- self identified- self declared identification of those that wish to call themselves Indigenous are not all that have Maori ancestry.

TIME TO CALL IT A DAY- AMEND ANY LEGISLATIONS THAT INCLUDE THE PARKIPUNY COINED PHRASE ‘INDIGENOUS PEOPLE’ OF NZ. At the same time disengage with the id of NZ namely Aotearoa until you see it named as a country on the world globe geographical  (Maps). We need a coalition that will not soften by using ‘Symbolic Gestures’ leaving this open to further corruption, division and separatism.  NZr’s need to be more aware, by holding the government to account, to follow through with election promises. Words do not mean actions. Actions speak loader than words. Bugger the ‘Symbolic Gestures’

WHO OWNS FRESH WATER IN NEW ZEALAND ? ‘THIS STILL APPEARS TO BE AN ISSUE THAT RAISES ITS UGLY HEAD’.

APARTHEID IN NZNATURAL RESOURCES IN NZ

WHO OWNS FRESH WATER IN NEW ZEALAND ? ‘THIS STILL APPEARS TO BE AN ISSUE THAT RAISES ITS UGLY HEAD’.

Worrying implications for ‘property rights’ exists. Govt being forceful in pushing through the Three Waters Reform, essentially an attack on property rights, a dark day for democracy in New Zealand, and community groups, voices have certainly made their voices heard as to their opposition of this robbery of communities infrastructure assets. The govt has been extremely busy working with Iwi Freshwater Group, the water industry and local councils. The Govt is going ahead with what they describe as opportunities for Iwi in the Water Entities Act, which establishes  new water services from July 2024. Govt providing for Iwi interest, rights is particularly focussed on water service delivery. The Three Waters Reform Review 2017-2020 documents the processes, engagement Govt have had with Iwi in the Three Waters Reforms. The 2020-21 reports stated “There has been many workshops, gatherings up and down the country”. This process of engagement with Iwi with govt and industry is documented in the Three Water Reform Review 2017-2020 and the Three Water Reform Programme  2020-2021. There has been many workshops, gatherings up and down the country.  Scoop News reported 21st Feb 2023 ‘Three Waters Judgement Accepts No Confiscation of Assets with NO Compensation. The Timaru, Waimakiri and Whangarei Council  asked the High Court for declarations on the ‘rights and interests’ that property ownerships entails. Justice Mallon responded  “I accept that Three Waters Reform involves a form of expropriation for which compensation could be given, but whether it is or not is up to Parliament”

It was confirmed that the government’s Three Waters plan, plans to take away water infrastructure paid for by communities, for the government to serve its own purpose. Claiming privately owned property against the wishes of the owners of those assets. However the decision for compensation to be paid to the asset holders is one to be made by Parliament. Judgement was declines specific declaration sought by the councils, highlighted that “there is no acknowledgement from the Government that this confiscation was taking place and that a deliberate decision was made not to compensate communities for confiscation”. Judge Mallon stated that the documents do not directly acknowledge that local councils will lose ownership that they presently hold, nor that councils ability to control the use of assets will be materially diluted through the WSE Governance Structure. Nor that local democratic accountability for the provision of Three Water services in local communities is essentially lost. However, it does not follow that the Govt, and in return Parliament is unaware of this. The proposals are directed to a new model for delivering Three Waters, a significant Three Waters infrastructure challenge, The govt has proposed a funding package but has deliberately decided that this is not intended to compensate local councils for the value of infrastructure assets, not communities”. Hence the govt can remove local democratic rights, they are not held accountable and have misled the public of NZ of the true ramifications of this legislation. Those Council members who sought the High Court hearing stated  “As owners of this critical infrastructure on behalf of our communities we are now demanding that any future changes to Three Waters policy setting respect these basic rights in property owning democracy. This is the govt deliberately undermining basic property rights. The NZ Bill Of Rights (Private Property). The purpose of this Bill is to provide for the protection of private property rights in NZ under the NZ Bill Of Rights Act 1991. The Property Rights System establishes and maintains the integrity of title to estates and interests in land in NZ.

This is the government seeking to undermine basic property rights. The NZ Bill Of Rights (Private Property) The purpose of this Bill is to provide for the protection of private property rights in New Zealand under the NZ Bill Of Rights Act. Property Rights system. This system establishes and maintains the integrity of title to estates and interests in land in New Zealand. Article written by Dr Muriel Newman NZ Centre for Political Research 24/1/2016. This is a policy think tank. Dr Newman has previously been a MP and a former Chamber Of Commerce President in Business and Education. The article made the following points. ‘Iwi Leaders and Govt had agreed on a deadline to sort out Maori/Iwi Interests in freshwater by Waitangi Day 2016. (Report RNZ 5/2/2015). National Party planned to introduce Maori/Iwi interests in freshwater. NZCPR campaigned against this. Govt accused them of misinformation.

Article Grey Power Magazine authored by Cabinet Minister & MP for Tauranga Simon Bridges “I have been approached by a number of constituents regarding the control, ownership of NZ’s freshwater. He said,” there appears to be some misinformation”, but he wanted to clarify the matter, saying the National govt has always clearly stated “no-one owns the water”. He added “However the govt is working with the Land and Water Forum, this includes stakeholders including Iwi to develop a common direction for freshwater management in NZ. Race based interests as to management, allocation of fresh water resources in NZ”. But Bridges ensured Grey Power readers there were no plans to give control or ownership of our country’s lakes and rivers to Iwi”. Irrespective of who owns the land over which the water flows, under common law and stature water is owned by no-one. There is absolutely no legal, moral or common sense justification for any Iwi/Maori to claim freshwater. The legal situation is that no-one owns water, no-one ever has. Reference was made to common law and the Water and Soil Conservation Act 1967 and the Resource Management Act 1991. (Canterbury University Law lecturer David Round).

Water was never regarded by the common law as a commodity. The courts held that a land owner had no right to the ownership of water which either flows through or percolates within the land. In this way the courts recognised water like air is not only vital to the survival of all species on the planet but is something in which humanity has no hand in creating. It therefore like air occupies a unique status in the eyes of common law, it cannot be owned b y anybody. Irrespective of the law. Some Iwi/Maori have continued to claim ownership of freshwater. But since successive govts and courts have consistently rejected their opportunist claims, they have now turned their attention to the ‘control’ of water. (Former Judge Anthony Willy) “Water was never regarded by common law as a commodity”. Reference: Former Law Lecturer, Judge Anthony Willy, agrees: “Water was never regarded by the common law as a commodity”.

NZ Herald October 2016) During the Labour Govts 3rd term in office, leaders of some of the country’s most powerful tribes sought Maori control of water. Labour Govt stated that “Water is not owned, but is controlled, managed by the Crown for ALL New Zealanders”. Tribes were under the impression that the Labour Govt were considering privatisation of water rights as part of a water management reform programme. The tribal leaders considered if such a property right was created, they had a claim to it under the Treaty since they had gained a lucrative $170 million fishing settlement, Fishing Quota created as a property right, many tribes received substantial settlement of quota fishing company shares and cash. They believed a water settlement would dwarf the fisheries settlement & with the Ministry for the Environment estimating the total value of fresh water to NZ is now worth almost $35 billion (2016). And Iwi demands continued, and Iwi voices that claimed they owned the water in NZ.

Nationals concession to tribal demands for freshwater was signalled during the partial privatisation of the State owned power companies in 2012. The Crowns Counsel stated that the power company sale would not precent the govt from recognising the rights and interests of Iwi in freshwater”, and even suggested the creation of new ‘economic rights over water’ in the form of a ‘levy or royalty”.  Emphasizing, recognising Maori/Iwi Rights may include decision making in relation to care, protection, use, access and allocation, and/or charges or rentals for water. All this information being evidential yet NZCPT was accused of misinformation.. “The rule of law means simply that we shall be governed solely by the law properly enacted after due process, not by arbitrary whim of any person or group. It is a point of due process ‘a the way in which laws come into being’. That the Rule of Laws intersects with democracy, which together are the guarantors of our civic rights. It is crucial and unbridgeable divide between the rule at whim of the despot and his or her cronies and rule by law that we imperil when we permit exceptions no matter how well intentioned. Such an exception sought by the minority of the population to corner rights to fresh water is a classic example of a derogation of the Rule of Law simply because it gives governance over a crucial public good to a small and unelected group to the detriment of the majority”.  The truth is that no form of constitutional govt of itself can guarantee our civil liberties, but the intersection of the Rule of Law as administered by the Courts and the democratic process offers the best protection known to history- the enablement of tribal groups to gain control of freshwater will therefore not only entrench separatism in NZ but it will undermine the Rule of Law. (Judge Anthony Willy)

References were made to -Gisborne Council had already established a joint resource consenting authority with Ngati Porou for control  of freshwater in their region. (prior to Oct 2016). Minister for the Environment Nick Smith was already committed to preferential access for Iwi in catchment based processes, stating he intended to influence councils by issuing requirement or guidelines to regional councils when choosing or implementing allocation approaches or reviews of existing allocations.  National caved in to Maori Council demands for rights to freshwater. On the verge of water rights in perpetuity to tribal interest, but required councils to involve local Iwi/Maori tribes in the management, allocation, control of fresh water in their regions (prior to 2016). There is no form of constitutional govt of itself can guarantee our civil liberties, but the intersection of the Rule of Law as administered by the Courts and the democratic process offers the best protection known to history- the enablement of tribal groups to gain control of freshwater will therefore not only entrench separatism in NZ but it will undermine the Rule of Law. (Judge Anthony Willy). Under British common law, naturally flowing freshwater is not owned by anyone, but is treated as a public good.

The NZ Bill Of Rights (Private Property Rights) Section 11A, “Right to own property”, inserted by clause 4, states: “Everyone has the right to own property, whether alone or in association with others.” Section 11B, “Right not to be arbitrarily deprived of property”, inserted by clause 4, states: “No person is to be deprived of the use or enjoyment of that person’s .  NZ Bill Of Rights is traditionally contained in Common Law ‘The Judges Rules 1912 now set in 23 (1)b of NZ Bill Of Rights. – NZ Bill Of Rights has been traditionally contained in Common Law in ‘The Judges Rules 1912 now set in 23 (1)b of The NZ Bill Of Rights 1991.

HATRED OF NON-BROWN SKINNED PEOPLE ‘ NO CENSORSHIP ON WHITE HATRED IN NZ’

Article In Stuff Lifestyle Sunday Magazine Feb 19th 2023 Tusiata Avia a Christchurch poet and writer has authored a book titled ‘The Savage Coloniser Book’, this books contents have been turned into show for  an upcoming Auckland Arts Festival (there is no bleeping our of censorship or the outrageous racial hatred Tusiata Avia how any person with fair skin. There is absolutely no censorship. The journalist of the Sunday Magazine writes  “Tusiata Avia cannot wait to make you feel uncomfortable

Tusiata Avia from Christchurch is a poet and writer who’s book entitled “The Savage Coloniser Book” has been turned into a show for the upcoming Auckland Arts Festival. (Explicit language warning: Profanities have not been bleeped out in this video, against Stuff’s usual protocols, to allow the poet to read her work without censorship.). Michelle Duff talks to Ockham winning poet Tusiata Avia as she speels out racism, fearlessness of growing up as a Pasifika in NZ. In the interview she said brown people in the audience would laugh at her and white people are uneasy. In her staged event for Auckland Arts Festival she describes the following set for her show “A carload of brown girls seek grisly revenge on Captain Cook. A guide shows how to navigate the room of white people. Saying  “cousins in Christchurch are uso’s in the so called ‘brown zone’. She does not apologise for her despising of so called white people saying “I think its good for white people to sit and squirm a bit. I mean we’re brown people squirming all the times  (I call this incitement to hatred and racial discrimination, that has been left to run wild. If it were vice versa then the police would go knocking on doors, there would be arrests.  The Government, police acceptance and promotion of Cultural Marxism’. She eludes to white people stepping outside their comfort zone, then “states she loves her white audience, as silent as they are”. She also refers to colonization and white settlers that perpetuated damage in the pacific in the past is still here right now, and her dislike of white people to the massacre 15 th March 2019 Christchurch Attack of one loan wolf from Australia, she then linked this as others have to ‘white supremacy’

However the truth comes out when the Royal Commission of Inquiry responds to 17 Questions by the community of New Zealand where the Royal Commission of Inquiry stated that “3 yrs prior to the attack and up to the date of the attack 15.3.2019 the Muslim community in Christchurch were seriously concerned about a Daesh attack (ISIS). Tusiata Avia wrote these words “The White Spirits rise up from the swamp, and many bad things happen. The White Spirits rise up from the swamp and kill those that kneel and pray” Saying “I think it’s good for white people to sit and squirm a bit. I mean, we’re [brown people] squirming all the time,” Avia says. She states publicly that “she does not care what people think, because she is writing for herself”.

The Sunday Magazine journalist states that ‘Avia is warm and funny, she represents the truth, the universal truth about colonisation, which was basically rape and pillage and massacre. Avia was raised in Christchurch to a Samoan father and Pakeha mother. Her mother was of Scottish and English ancestry. She says “I have colonisers roots” Actually saying this out loud refers to the 250th Anniversary of James Cooks Arrival In New Zealand:-

Hey James, yeah you in that big Endeavour sailing the blue water like a big arsehole.  F—YOU,BITCH- James. I heard that some-one shoved a knife right into the gap between your white ribs at Kealakekua Bay. I am going there make a big Makahiki-luau cook a white pig, feed it to the dogs and  F—YOU UP, BITCH. Hey James, its us these days, we are driving around in SUVs looking for ya or white men like you who might be thieves or rapists or kidnappers, or murderers- yeah, or any of your descendants or any of your carnations – cos you know – ay bitch We’re gonna F..YOU UP. Tonight, James its me Lani, Danielle and a car full of brown girls we find you. You’ve got another woman in a headlock and I’ve got my fathers pig hunting knife in my fist and we are coming to get you.- sailing around in your ‘Resolution’- your ‘Friendship’- your ‘Discovery’ and you F—king ‘Freelove’.. Watch you ribs James, cos I am coming with Kalaniopu’u, Kanekapolei, Kana’ina, Keawe’opala, Kuka ‘ilimoko who is God and Nua’a who is the King with a knife. And then James, then we are gonna ‘F— You UP FOR GOOD BITCH’. Author Tusiata Avia. Sunday Magazine. Image if the tables were turned this would have been the main item before the House-House . The Maori Party would have made mince meat of it. The police would have raided your house. So why hasn’t the Race Relations Commission been onto this?

I have many hundred of people with Maori and Pacific Island blood never have I ever heard them speak like this. This is just plain evil.

SMALL HOLDER FARMING COMMUNITIES FACE INSTITUTIONALIZED APARTHEID IN NEW ZEALAND

SMALL HOLDER FARMING COMMUNITIES FACE INSTITUTIONALIZED APARTHEID IN NEW ZEALAND

1st December 2022. Govt Investment to support Maori Business and Jobs in the Primary Sector- Damien O’Connor and Meka Whaitiri speakers in the House.  Total exports by Māori businesses have grown by 38% since 2017 to $872 million, with the majority from the food and fibre sector. Launch of Rautaki mo te Taurikura action plan to support the continued growth of Māori food and fibre sector.  Support for Māori agribusiness innovation and workforce development.-Co-investment in a trial embedding mātauranga Māori in farming practices to improve soil quality and clean up waterways. The Government is investing in more on-the-ground support, innovation, and workforce development as part of a new plan to grow Māori businesses and jobs in the food and fibre sector.

Associate Agriculture Minister Meka Whaitiri announced  “so we can lift sustainability, maintain our international competitive edge and grow export value, we’re kick-starting that mahi by co-investing in a $723,200 project led by Māori farming company Ātihau-Whanganui Incorporation, which operates 42,000 hectares of whānau farms in the Manawatū-Whanganui region. The project will involve an innovative trial embedding mātauranga Māori into farming practices, delivering measurable environmental benefits around improving soil quality and cleaning up waterways. Investing in projects like this will ensure our Māori agribusinesses can lift productivity across their land, by providing up to date advice to adjust their practices and innovate, so that growth in exports can continue and provide jobs across the sector,” Meka Whaitiri said.  The Ministry for Primary Industries’ Sustainable Food and Fibre Futures fund (SFF Futures) will contribute $433,920 to the project.

Total exports by Māori businesses have grown from $630 million in 2017 to $872 million in 2021, with the majority from the food and fibre sector. “we launched Rautaki mo te Taurikura – Embracing change for prosperity, which is a detailed plan to support the Māori food and fibre sector and drive even more growth in the years to come,” Meka Whaitiri said.  Adding that  “This builds on multiple investments from Budget 2022, including $34 million to put extra Māori agribusiness advisors in the regions, and $35 million to support Māori-led innovation and mātauranga-based approaches to reducing on-farm emissions, includes the use of workshops, targeted groups, field days and other on-farm activities to share the most up to date information on low emissions practices. We’ve also invested in projects to help landowners improve their productivity, create training opportunities and jobs, and develop innovative practices and products to grow Māori exports.”. “Māori are uniquely positioned to convert the challenges ahead into opportunities,  and to lead the way for others to do the same,” Meka Whaitiri said. “Purchasing decisions of consumers abroad are increasingly being driven by their values, as they question how products were produced and by who. New Zealand’s future opportunities lie in aligning with their values, and this sector plan helps take us there,” Agriculture Minister Damien O’Connor said. “Supporting the Māori primary sector to expand and achieve its aspirations is a key part of the Government and sector’s Fit for a Better World roadmap, which aims to add $44 billion to primary sector export revenue across the next 10 years.”

The Rautaki mo te Taurikura plan will be reviewed in 2024. The plan can be downloaded here: Budget 2022 also included $40 million to deliver industry transformation plans for the food and beverage, fisheries, and the forestry and wood processing sectors, which we’re developing in partnership with industry and Māori.”  Other SFF Futures initiatives with Maori include a $19.9 million project with Spring Sheep to expand into the Taranaki region in partnership with Parininihi ki Waitotara (PKW) and an $11.6 million programme with Ngāi Tahu Farming Limited  And Ngāi Tūāhuriri to take part in a whole-farm scale study in North Canterbury to validate the science of regenerative farming. The Government’s commitment to helping farmers adapt to shifting consumer expectations is demonstrated by the co-investment of about $530 million with the sector across 230 SFF Futures projects to date.
