1.In 1972  the UN Sub Commission on Prevention of Discrimination and Protection of Minorities commissioned a study on the issues around discrimination of Indigenous Populations The Study was completed in 1982

2.1977 A conference was held in Geneva to mandate all documents relevant to International Indigenous Movements. 25 Years prior to the UNDRIP being first introduced into the UN Assembly (2007) Much preplanning of the draft had taken place this involved Governments, UN Agencies – Representatives of Indigenous Peoples – International Labour Organization (ILA) and Certain NGO’s. Namely: Argentina, Brazil, Canada, India, US, Nicaragua, Panama, Morocco, Sweden, North Yemen, The PLO and New Zealand. In 1993 The UN announced the  “World Indigenous People Day being 9th August. In June 2006 the UNDRIP was adopted by the UN Human Rights Committee

The Purpose of the UN Declaration -This is laid out in the Declaration itself

Article 3 Declares Indigenous Peoples have a right to self-determination by virtue – To freely determine their political, economic, social, cultural  status

Article 4 Have the right to autonomy or self governance relating to their internal and local affairs and financial autonomous functions

Article 5: Indigenous Peoples have the right to maintain, strengthen their distinct political, legal, economic, social, cultural institution. Retain their right to participate in the political, economic, social, cultural life of the State

Article (8e ) To stop any form of propaganda to promote or incite racial, ethnic discrimination against them

Self-determination of Culture-Identity-Education-Economic Development-Religious custom-Health-Language

NOTE: The UN Charter 1945 and the d International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and other International Treaties. accords ALL peoples the Right to Self-Determination to seek their own destiny

The Declaration of Indigenous Peoples Rights (UNDRIP) was first introduced into the UN Assembly on 13th September 2007. NZ’s Representative (Rosemary Banks) addressed those present as to why New Zealand had decided to reject the UNDRIP. She said NZ has a system of ‘redress’ accepted by Indigenous and Non -Indigenous Peoples. Referring to the 1840 Treaty of Waitangi as the founding document of New Zealand which is significant in NZ’s Constitutional arrangements, laws, Government activity. That claims of over half on NZ land area had been settled. New Zealand has implemented most standards in the UNDRIP for many years. That are too difficult to implement

In 2010 John Key under the National Govt arranged for Pita Sharples (Co-Leader of the Māori Party) to travel to the UN Assembly where he adopted the UNDRIP on behalf of NZ. This was all done under a veil of secrecy.. All 4 countries that rejected the UNDRIP in 2007 have now adopted it.

WHAT SORT OF NATURAL RESOURCES WAS THE UNDRIP TALKING ABOUT?:- I went to NZ Government website to research what Natural Resources we have in New Zealand.. The Treasury report states describes NZ’s Natural Resources. * Clean water, clean air fertile soil and a climate well suited to humans, tree’s, livestock, agriculture. Lengthy coastlines this  means significant aquaculture resources.  * Significant  petroleum reserves, extraordinary biodiversity on land and in out water bodies

HOW DOES OUR NATURAL RESOURCE WEALTH IN NEW ZEALAND COMPARE TO OTHER COUNTRIES OF A SIMILAR SIZE? :- 30 Page Landcare Research Report Refers to NZ being a significant producers of Natural Minerals and Coal. Construction aggregate, oil, gold and silver. NZ is well documented for its minerals petroleum both onshore and offshore.  NZ is well endowed with Aggregate, Clay,  Coal  – Natural Gas – Iron-sand- Minerals-Petroleum. Another 2 Page Government Report: Describes to ‘Incoming Ministers’ Natural Resources in NZ. Which states that NZ is small country with a wealth of Natural Resources. Good access to water, productive land and biodiversity. These resources have helped New Zealand grow into a prosperous country. Has a strong Natural Resource base

The Treasury reported the following:- Our Natural Resources are central to our cultural heritage . Māori draw their identity from the environment, exercise kaitiaki responsibilities over ‘Land and Resources’.   “We have a responsibility to recognize cultural relationship in accordance with the Principles of Waitangi. NOTE: The World Bank estimated that NZ ranks 8th out of 120 countries and 2nd out of OCE countries in ‘natural capita’

PARLIAMENT REFERRED TO UNDRIP:- 15th September 2007 Parekura Horomia (Minister Of Māori Affairs)s poke in Parliament In his speech he said:- That the UNDRIP is a ‘wish list’. Is ‘toothless’ offers indigenous peoples “no more than Aspirational’ statements. He referred to the same four provisions Rosemary Banks referred to at the UN. The UN Declaration is incompatible with NZ’s Constitutional-legal arrangements and the established Treaty Settlement Policy. References that Indigenous Peoples would own land that other citizens have legal rights too. 33  Ignores contemporary reality, impossible to implement. The Declaration implies two classes of citizenship. He concluded the Māori Party need to get their heads out of the clouds, rather than pie in the sky talk.

The Doctrine of Discovery’ is an International Law  Its is centuries old. In simple terms the Doctrine of Discovery refers to the principle in International Law under which a Nation ‘discovers’ land, it directly acquires ‘Rights on that Land’. This still exists today

THE CONTENT OF THE UN DELARATION ITSELF..SPECIFICALLY RELATES TO CO-GOVERNANCE. The cabinet commissioned report He Puapua. A Co-Governance as the basis for a strengthened partnership between Indigenous Peoples and States. He Puapua was commissioned by the Labour Party in 2019. Described a  pathway for NZ to meet its commitments under the UNDRIP. A roadmap for Co-governance by 2040 (VISION 2040). The UNDRIP proclaims the Rights of Indigenous Peoples as a standard of achievement to be pursued in a spirit of partnership and mutual respect exercise their rights to self determination.  *Article 4: Have a right to ‘Autonomy’ or ‘Self Government’ in matters relating to their internal and local affairs *Article 20 1. Indigenous peoples have the right to maintain, develop their political, economic and social systems or institutions, to be secure in the enjoyment of their own means of subsistence and development

Claire Charters is a NZ Iwi academic specializing in Indigenous Peoples Rights . In International and Constitutional Law. She has official UN Status. Represents the  NZ Human Rights Commission. The authors of He Puapua are Claire Charters (Chair) ).. Waimirirangi Ormsby, Naomi Solomon – Gary Williams – Dr Jacinta Ruru; Also government officials who are Emily Owen -Judith Pryor – Kayla Kingdon-Bebb   and   Tāmati Olsen. At the forefront of He Puapua and its implementation plan is the Maori caucus I they are the dominant faction within the Labour Party and cabinet. National Iwi Forum, Claire Charters representing NZ Human Rights Commission and various MPs, – NGOs are key players. He Puapua is a projected dismantling of the basic features of NZ Society,. Adoption s racial divide, a domination of a certain minority over the majority. Recommends Co-governance between Iwi and the CROWN (Government). He Puapua recognizes and makes the claim that Iwi/Māori have the ability to exercise full authority over entire NZ lands, water and Natural Resources. (As described in the UNDRIP)

Prof., Elizabeth Rata Auckland University. Sociologist of Education. A former Fullbright Senior Scholar to Georgetown University Washington. Specializes in the ‘Effects of Ethnic Politics on Educational Change’. Authored an article for NZ Centre for political Research 4th July 2021. ‘THE ROAD TO HE PUAPUA-. She referred He Puapua to revolutionary change for New Zealand. She refers to three events 1985, 1986 and 1987 and the Treaty Of Waitangi partnership. The transformative restructuring of governance, recognizing Iwi self-determination. The co-governance laid out in He Puapua. The likelihood of claims for ownership of up to 50% of public assets, eg water, sea territories, flora and fauna, airwaves. The pathway to Ethno-Nationalism’. Firstly she refers to the 1975 Treaty Of Waitangi Amendment Act 1985. The recognition of Iwi/ Maori as the inheritors of Treaty settlements. Reviving the tribe as a political and economic corporation. Secondly she refers to the creation of Treaty principles in the 1985 Amendment Act. Where Geofrey Palmer agreed to let Sir Hepi Te Heuheu insert a clause into the Act. “Nothing in this Act shall permit the Crown to act in a manner that is inconsistent with the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi (Section 9 of the State Owned Enterprises Act 1986. (Parliament defined the Principles in the Treaty. The Treaty did NOT create Principles.)

Treaty principles, partnership has been used by successive governments of Crown (Govt) and Iwi.as opened the way for the so called ‘Partnership’ (Crown -Government- Iwi Partnerships). In legislations, policy making local and central govt, NGOs.  Thirdly the 1987 Court of Appeal where the judicial stated the Treaty established a relationship ‘akin to a partnership’ The Treaty did not create a Partnership the Judicial system did.. Of course this was quickly picked up and hastily used as it is today. By 1987 the Waitangi Tribunal, and Iwi Leaders Forum and other powerful Iwi Interest Groups have successfully achieved claiming ownership rights. ‘Partnership’ justification Of course another arrow for the He Puapua bow to entrench UNDRIP into NZ Society.

UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples

RESEARCH BY:  Carol Sakey

UNITED NATIONS: Who are Indigenous peoples? An official definition of ‘Indigenous’ has NOT been adopted by any United Nations System Body. The UN System has developed a modern understanding of this term. According to the UN the most fruitful approach is to identify, rather than define indigenous peoples. This is based on the fundamental criterion of self-identification as underlined in a number of human rights

INTERNATIONAL LAW (Cornel Law School): Self Determination is the Legal Right of ‘ALL PEOPLE’ to decide their own destiny, it is a core principle of International Law, recognized as a general principle of law that is enshrined in a number of International Treaties. Self-determination is protected in ‘The United Nations Charter’ – ‘International Covenant on Civil and political Rights- and the UN Declaration of Human Rights – As a Right of ‘ALL PEOPLES’

THE DEFINITION OF ‘INDIGENOUS’: The term ‘indigenous ‘derives from the late Latin ‘indigenus’ and ‘indigena’ (native) and from the Old Latin ‘indu’ that is derived from the archaic ‘endo’ (a cognate of the Greek ‘endo’), meaning ‘in, within’ and the Latin ‘gignere’ meaning ‘to beget’, from the root ‘gene’ meaning ‘to produce, give birth, beget.

DEFINITIONS WITHIN THE MEANING OF INDIGENOUS: ‘BEGET’: To cause it to happen. Especially a male parent as to procreate or generate an offspring.(Collins Dictionary) To generate something usually children. Another example is ‘good’ work begets ‘good work’. Beget in the Bible means (esp. of a male) to become the father of (offspring); procreate :In the Bible, Isaac begat Jacob. to cause; produce as an effect.

‘NATIVE’: a person born in a specified place or associated with a place by birth, whether subsequently resident there or not.. One born or reared in a particular place (Merriam-Webster Dictionary and Cambridge). being the place or environment in which a person was born or a thing came into being ·. belonging to a person by birth or to a thing by nature (Collins Dictionary)

‘SELF -DETERMINATION’  * Is the determination by oneself or itself, without outside influence. freedom to live as one chooses, or to act or decide without consulting another or others.      *Believing you can control your own destiny   * A combination of attitudes, abilities that lead people to set goals for themselves and to take initiatives to reach those goals.     * The ability or power to make decisions for yourself. The Principles of Self-determination is the freedom to decide how one wants to live their life

‘CULTURAL’ Is a  way of life for an entire society this includes:-  *Codes of manners, dress, language, religion, rituals, art and traditions. There seven traits which are  *Learned *Transmitted   * Based on symbols  *Changeable  *Integrated  * Ethnocentric  *Adaptive  *Cultural Values are a cultures core beliefs about what’s good or right. We all have cultural values, preferences these are informed by the cultures we most associate ourselves with. Defining ‘culture’ is very difficult because among other things it can be an uncountable noun ‘culture’, or an countable one.  A culture/different cultures involves too many layers of meaning. There are five key cultural characteristics that are shared in human societies. These are that culture is *learned    *shared    *symbolic    * integrated and dynamic.

The Characteristics of culture is not thought to be innate or inherited. All cultures have characteristics such as limitations, traditions, history, principles, values, symbols and boundaries. A Culture of Dignity is where everyone has the opportunity thrive. The culture of dignity is what it means to be human, valued, respected it’s a hallmark of shared humanity. Where each individual unique person is defined as part of the human race. Not collectively judged, treated as in a ‘group mentality’; To act in accordance with the ‘truth’. A Healthy Culture: Is one in which people feel safe to speak out publicly when they do or do not agree with what others are implying, saying. Culture is dynamic, adapts to changes of circumstance. Everyone has a culture, whilst we are born into culture, it is also something we also learn

Society and Culture: Society cannot exist without culture since culture is an accumulation of norms, behavior’s, practices that determines how society functions in daily life. These include family, educational, religious and political  Cultural plays a major role in the lives of everyone in society. Cultural Inheritance: Is referred to as the storage and transmission of information by communication, imitation, teaching and learning. It is transmitted by the brain rather than by the genes, however it does have a genetic basis, the genes involved determining the structure of the brain. Cultural Uniqueness: Even though we are in the same culture, we are still unique individuals with our own unique characteristics. Even though people in a certain culture are all different, there are still larger patterns in their behaviors’. Culture and Identity: Culture is an important part of ALL people as an individual unique within a group or as in an induvial unique person in their own right. This is shaped by values, attitudes, beliefs, values and even experiences in life.

Examples of my own Culture – English Mother and Irish Father:- The Irish culture is rich, diverse, full of myths, literature, music, dance, art cuisine, language. Has been influenced by the English, Tudor, Scots, Normans and Vikings. St Paddy’s day is celebrated all around the world.  Well known for our Guinness  and leprechauns  Irish Coddle, a stew with potatoes and other veg including bacon and sausages. Nothing reflects the warmth and homegrown comfort like a good old hearty Irish stew.. As for a good Irish breakfast that would be a ‘traditional full Irish breakfast comprising of bacon, sausages, eggs, potatoes, beans and home made soda bread. Not forgetting the mushrooms and tomatoes also the white and black pudding. Black pudding is the pigs blood in sausage form. White pudding is simply a pork sausage. Mind you pigs trotters were always on the menu when I visited my Nan and Grandad in Ireland.

For many Irish Religion and Family cohesion are basic to traditional Irish family culture. They cherish  family history and heritage. Knowing your extended family and your cousins is a vital part of Irish peoples lives. Romantic Irish.. Chivalry isn’t dead. It’s said that the Irish are very romantic. We think it comes from the close knit bond they all share with their families, mammies and daddies. Irish boys are taught to be chivalrous and Irish women are rated as one of the most loving partners in the world.

English Culture:  Rich customs and traditions that are famous right across the world. Lots of tea drinking (Dipping biscuits in tea). Hallmarks of the English culture have gathered historically over time. Football and Cricket. Yorkshire puds and roast beef dinners. British values and beliefs. The mix of British culture is very rich and diverse and is sometimes called ‘cultural capital’. The valuing of communities, villages and townships. Local markets and the pub just down the road. A visit to the chippie on a Friday night. British national identity is referred to as the sense of national identity as embodies in the shared characteristic culture, languages, traditions of the British people. English cooked breakfast on Sundays, sausage bacon and eggs with fried bread or toast. And a trip down to the local pub before Sunday lunch, meet up with your friends and family. Kids in the family room or beer garden at the pub with their bags of chippies and lemonade. Grandad playing the piano and his dog howling a tune

Proud to have English/Irish blood running through my veins. New Zealand is the place I call my home having lived here  for 60 years. Having personally worked passionately within community agencies in NZ and  amongst people of many cultures, ethnicities always recognizing the individual uniqueness of each individual person not one the same.  I personally believe each of us in our own unique individuality, in peace and love have this opportunity to come together as One Nation for  One People. God Save New Zealand

EVERY NEW CITIZEN HAS A RIGHT TO KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING UNDER THEIR OWN NOSES WHEN IT COMES TO CO GOVERNANCE.

UN ASSEMBLY 13^th September 2007 New Zealand under a Labour Government refused to adopt the UN Declaration of Rights for Indigenous Peoples. The Right to ‘Self Determination’. 2010 Pita Sharples Co-leader of the Maori Party with the help and support of John Key attended the UN Assembly in New York, there he adopted the UNDRIP on behalf of all New Zealanders.  Only the public of NZ had no idea it was being adopted all was done deliberately under a veil of secrecy.

He Puapua the pathway to entrenching UNDRIP into every aspect of New Zealand life.  As Julian Batchelor travels the highways and byways of New Zealand he is deliberately being aggressive attacked. The police are reported to stand by and watch as those that attend his co governance meetings are attacked.  Everyone in New Zealand should have at least to facts as to why the UNDRIP was rejected by New Zealand in the first place, and by the way once I give you the following briefing on this perhaps many more people will publicly speak out in opposition of Co-Governance- He Puapua- the plan the entrench the UNDRIP into NZ, dismantle your traditions, beliefs.

New Zealand rejected four provisions in the UNDRIP Articles 26, 28, 32,19. These were incompatible with NZ’s Constitutional and Legal requirements. And the Treaty of Waitangi is the ‘Governing for the Good of ALL NZ Citizens. Indigenous peoples would have veto rights over Natural resources. The right of Veto over the State and its legislations.

Article 26 states declares that Indigenous People have the right to own, use, develop or control lands and territories traditionally owned, occupies or used. NZ rejected this article stating that “adopting this would mean  the entire country of NZ would be caught in this scope of the article. It does not give recognition of lands legally owned by Indigenous and Non -indigenous Peoples, and also it does not take into account tradition, customs nor land tenures

Article 28 of the UN  Declaration addresses ‘Compensation’ (Redress). This also does not consider lands already legally owned by the citizens of New Zealand.  There is no consideration to overlapping Indigenous Claims. ..The entire country of New Zealand would fall within the scope of  Article 28.  .The declaration implied Indigenous peoples had the right to veto over democratic legislature and ‘national resource management.

Veto Rights accorded to Indigenous Peoples implies ‘two classes of citizenship’. Indigenous peoples would have the right to Veto that other people did not have. Rosemary Banks NZ’s Representative to the UN said in her speech “New Zealand is unable to support the UN Declaration. It is incompatible with ‘Democratic’  processes , Legislation, Constitutional arrangements.

The SpinOff reported 6^th January 2022 ‘He Puapua: The Indigenous peoples report that caused a political ruckas.. In 2019 a government working group was tasked with creating a plan to realise the UN declaration on the rights of Indigenous peoples (UNDRIP) here in New Zealand. The resulting report, He Puapua, has been described as a roadmap to achieving Vision 2040, the year by which it hopes the report’s objectives are achieved. The year 2040 also marks the 200th anniversary of the signing of Te Tiriti o Waitangi.

The reason for all the fuss is the perceived obfuscation of the report – despite being received by then minister for Māori Development, Nanaia Mahuta, in 2019, it hasn’t been released by cabinet and is only circulating now after it was released under OIA last month. Since then, National Party leader Judith Collins has used it to stoke fears over separatism, claiming it will create “two systems by stealth”.

He Puapua is a term that refers to the break between waves, evoking a disruption to our political and legislative norms. It’s also the name of the report from the working group that looked at how Aotearoa should implement the UN declaration..

Please Support Julian Batchelors Co-Governance Tour.

WAKE UP NEW ZEALAND THE UN CHARTER 1945 ‘ALL PEOPLE HAVE THE RIGHT TO SELF DETERMINATION’ OTHER INTERNATIONATIONAL LAWS ALSO DECLARE THAT ALL PEOPLES HAVE THE RIGHT TO SELF-DETERMINATION.    YOU SHOULD BE HIGHLY SUSPICIOUS  ABOUT THE RADICAL RACIAL SEPERATISM BEING ACTED OUT UNDER YOUR OWN NOSES..

RNZ Report 19^th May 2023 ‘Māori Development Minister Willie Jackson defends Māori Budget package . The total Māori package in the 2023 Budget was $895 million down from $1 billion last year. The Government definitely financially supporting Co-Governance in various aspects. 8^th May 2022 NZ Centre for political Research authored an article on UN Declaration for the Rights of Indigenous Peoples thus referring to Willie Jackson Minister of Maori Development relating to ‘Maori targeted Engagement in April 2022. Jacksons implementing of He Puapua plan for not one government but for to governments in NZ, One for Maori and the other for everyone else.

November 1^st 2019 Dr Claire Charters referred to Willie Jackson and the He Puapua Report. Charters was tasked with creating the so called ‘Vision 2040’ which focuses on the UN Declaration. Vision 2040: A roadmap planned to achieve this. The two government, one for Maori and the other for everyone else would be subject to a tribal monitoring committee, which is subject to the UN. The He Puapua Report had been kept a secret from Winston Peters before Parliament adjourned for the election. Labour did not mention the He Puapua Report during their 2020 election campaigning. It was ACT Party David Seymour and Judith Collins- National Party that let the cat out the bag into the public arena.

Willie Jackson’s report recommends separate administration for Māori land and Resources, education, justice and housing which directly reflected the proposals in the He Puapua plan. A glossary of Maori words were provided in the He Puapua Report for example :- ‘Tino rangatiratanga’ meaning ‘exercising of mana, absolute authority.  ‘Tanga Whenua ’ identifying  Maori people ‘The Indigenous People of Aotearoa’ and ‘Mana’ ultimate and paramount power, authority  where  370 participants in 69 workshops over 6 months with discussions that revolved around 12 themes…

(1)The exercise of power, the right to give orders, make decision, enforce obedience. ‘Tino rangatiratanga. The ‘exercise of mana’ absolute authority.

(2)Participation in government or kawanatanga.

(3)Land, resources and the environment

(4)The education system and

(5)The provision of information about Maori rights and are Maori rights indigenous rights.

The focus on *Health *Justice *Cultural expressions and identity *Housing *Equity and fairness *Economic development and business . 30 Years ago.  This was namely the ‘devolution of social services to Māori entities,. 12 Years ago it was a consultation on Whanau Ora a parallel welfare set up for Māori.

The silence is deafening around the He Puapua Report, it’s still progressing. This radical plan of the UN.- 26 Names  were included in the  He Puapua Report. Including two branches of the Maori Womens Welfare Leagu,  Landcare Research. The  Waiheke Local Board, Willie Jackson’s Te Matawai programme, Mental Health and Wellbeing Commission, BDO Gisborne Accountants, University of Otago Academic Staff Collective, Whanau Ora Interface Group and Matatua Alliance for Indigenous Analytics.

Matatua Alliance for Indigenous Analytics. Is the Indigenous Peoples Rights in Data. A contribution toward Indigenous Research Sovereignty. Indigenous Rights for advocacy and actions towards Indigenous Self-Determination and control across a range of domains. Includes Network sovereignty, Food Sovereignty, Energy Sovereignty and Data Sovereignty

 ‘Matatua Declaration’ relates to  ( UNDRIP Article 31). Indigenous Cultural intellectual Property and Indigenous Research ethics Operational through principle such as ‘First Nations OCAP. This was developed by the ‘First Nations Information Governance Centre in Canada. Relates to access and control data about peoples, territories, lifeways, resources. Which refers to CARE Principles supporting Indigenous innovations from community data governance, the creation of Indigenous data standards., for allied academics and activists. Providing a framework to support ethical decision making, inform law shaping policy and infrastructure. CARE Principles highlight critical considerations for non-tribal data actors to recognize Indigenous peoples Rights and Interests in Data, the advancing of Indigenous Peoples innovation and self-determination. CARE Principles appear in UNESCO recommendations on ‘Open Science’ (UN) Code of Ethics for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Research. Also the ‘Aotearoa NZ Antarctic and Southern Ocean Research Directions and Priorities’

The UNDRIP Willie Jackson , Nania Mahuta and family He Puapua Plan thickens. The Matatua Declaration that relates to UNDRIP Article 31. And more recently a Draft submitted on Digital Sequence Information on Genetic Resources as part of COP 15 for the Convention of Biological Diversity. Which relates to Indigenous peoples and local communities as partners in the sequencing of global biodiversity. Applying the UNDRIP to the Nagoya Protocol.UN Genetic Digital Sequence Information is reported to be somewhat unclear and somewhat doubtful. This refers to traditional knowledge and Genetic Resources. Observing Legal Protection through the Lens of Historical Geography and Human Rights

As for some of the other steps that Willie Jackson Minister of Maori Development has implemented, that have already been completed over the past few years  are:- The dialling up Māori Cultural Propaganda on Radio and TV. Enabling Māori Wards on Councils, no-elected bodies. By outlawing petitions and votes. Attempting to change electoral law in favour of Māori roll. voters in Rotorua. The setting up of a separate Māori Health Authority and ‘imposing co-governance on water services through the Three waters Reform Plan. Not forgetting the COVID19 Iwi groups with the blessing of the Government that set up regional borders, thus mirroring another prescription in the He Puapua plan. You have to wonder what’s next. I personally question whether the replacement of the Resource Management Act with three new legislations also buys into the UN Declaration plan.

NOTE: The NZ UN  Representative and the Labour Governments significant concerns as to why they would not sign the UN Declaration for the Rights of Indigenous People in 2007.

Included was ownership of ‘Resources and Land’. As Willie Jackson, the National Iwi Forum, The Human Right Commission, the Government are processing, progressing Vision 2040 

Join the dots to the ‘Replacement of the Resource Management Act with three new legislations. Including the Regional Planning Committee’s that give Iwi/Hapu Veto powers. Think back to why the ‘old labour government refused to sign the UNDRIP in UN Assembly in New York.

This Labour Government now is the ‘New Labour Govt’ not that old one of 2007. This Labour Government is radical, authoritarian Socialist leftist to the core. It stinks of Cultural Marxism. Has Chinese characteristics.

The links below are to the  informative transcripts of the two video’s I have produced which are both on this website- VIDEO 1 ND VIDEO 2 OF  ‘CO-GOVERNANCE’ THERE IS MUCH MORE TO TELL.
