Referring to the opposition to signing the UN Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous People

Rosemary Banks NZ’s  Representative at the UN explained in a gathering at the UN Assembly that NZ Government was unable to adopt the UN Declaration of the Rights for Indigenous People for the following reasons. Firstly she referred to the Treaty of Waitangi 1840 being NZ’s founding document and NZ’s constitutional arrangement also Government activity. That NZ had already implemented many of the standards of the declaration for many years prior to September 2007

The Māori Party had worked with the UN process to bring about the UN Declaration for the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. But the Labour Govt in 2007 announced they could not support it. Rosemary Banks referred to four provisions in the UN Declarations which caused great concern.

(1)Being fundamentally  incompatible with NZ’s Constitutional and Legal arrangements. The Treaty of Waitangi, and the Principle of governing for ‘The Good Of ALL People in NZ’

(2)Referred to Article 26 of the UN Declaration on ‘Land & Resources’

(3)Referred to Articles 28 and 19 on redress

(4)Article 32 on ‘The Right of Veto’ over the State

(5) Article 26 Indigenous people had the right to own, use, develop or control lands and territories that have been traditionally owned, occupies or used. This meant the ENTIRE country of NZ was potentially caught within this scope, (that appears to require “Recognition to Rights to Lands ‘in NZ). Thus being lands legally owned by other citizens, indigenous and non-indigenous. Did not take into account customs, traditions, land tenures systems.

(6) This implied that Indigenous people had rights that others did not.

(7) The ENTIRE country appeared to fall under Scope of Article 28 (Redress and Compensation) Did not take into account land owned or occupied legitimately by other.-or overlapping indigenous claims.

(8) The UN Declaration implied Indigenous peoples had Right of Veto over a Democratic Legislature

(9) Rights over the Resource Management of NZ.  – NOTE: CENTRAL PANNING COMMITTEE’S -TWO OR MORE IWI/HAPU)- END DECISION MAKING RIGHTS OF VETO. Replacement of Resource Management Act.

(10)The UN Declaration Implied a different class of citizen. Indigenous people had veto rights that other citizens did not have.

(11) NZ was unable to support a text that included provisions that were so fundamentally incompatible with its Democratic process, Legislation and Constitutional arrangements.

(12) The Un Declaration was explained as being an ‘Aspirational’ document, intended to ‘inspire’ rather than have ‘legal affect’

NOTE: Labour Party stance has completely changed from back in 2007 they have done an about turn from the opposing the UNDRIP back then.

2010 Under the National Government John Key secretly sent Pita Sharples -Co Leader of the Māori Party to the UN Assembly in New York. John Key was well aware of the seriousness  of his actions. Why Labour Party were so against the signing of the UN Declaration in 2007.

NZ Herald reported 20th April 2010  ‘Nats give in to Māori over Rights Declaration’. Had bowed to Maori Party wishes, agreed to support the highly contentious UNDRIP despite the previous Labour Govt issuing dire warnings that the document is fundamentally incompatible with NZ’s constitutional and legal systems.. Where Pita Sharples was speaking from New York announced signing the UN Declaration “restored the Mana and Moral Authority of Māori to Speak in International Forums on Justice and Rights. John Key had backed Pita Sharples on signing the UN Declaration with a proviso that would ‘progress Māori rights in NZ’s current Legal and Constitutional frameworks.

The NZ Herald Article of 2010 referred to Rosemary Banks reporting “The UN Declaration appears to require recognition of Rights to Lands now lawfully owned by other citizens, both Indigenous and Non Indigenous”. Implying rights that others do not have. She also stated that Indigenous peoples have Rights of Veto over Parliament and the Resource Management of NZ. (Resource Management Act) Even thought the UNDRIP is non-Binding it can be used in court by the judicial as to issues relating to Waitangi Tribunal.

NZ Govt over many years is a party to 1900 UN agreements which are non-binding. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is Binding. When NZ Govt agree to UN Agreement, Declarations they then sit in a place called ‘Soft Law’. That oh so convenient advantageous place where the government can quickly, conveniently enter Un International Non-binding  agreements into Domestic Policy making them Legal to act upon.

A prime example of this convenient ‘Soft Law’ is the  NZ Govt’s adopting UN Agenda 2030. It was non-binding, Ardern entered it into Domestic Policy it is now binding, can be acted upon legally. The people of New Zealand would never have known this, as this process is accepted by all MP’s in Parliament. Ardern had been a guest speaker of a gathering of ‘global shapers’, which was hosted by Bill * Melinda Gates. Where she boasted she had entered Agenda 2030 into NZ Domestic Policy and that other country’s should take her lead.

THE ZILCH TRANSPARENCY. ALL MP’S IN PARLIAMENT ON THE SAME PAGE. Since the secret signing of the UNDRIP in 2010 much has happened. The non-binding declaration has processed and progressed somewhat into the planning of a ‘Race Based Constitution’. Namely ‘VISION 2040’

Vision 2040 (UNDRIP). Dr Claire Charters the lead author of He Puapua and member of the steering group produced the plan to realise the ‘UN Declaration of Rights for  Indigenous Peoples’. A conference was held at Auckland University during 21st-23rd November 2022 where overseas ‘Indigenous Rights’ guests gathered to organize, produce the planning of ‘ The Constitutional Korero ‘Transforming NZ’s Constitution’ in  NZ

 NOTE: UN Declaration for the Rights of Indigenous Peoples:-

Article 26. Have the rights to the lands, territories, resources which they traditionally owned, occupied otherwise used or acquired.

Art 28: Have the ‘Right to Redress’- includes restitution equitable compensation for lands, territories and resources.

Art 32: States shall consult & cooperate in good faith with Indigenous peoples concerned with their own representative institutions in order to obtain their free informed consent prior to approval of any project affecting the lands, territories and other resources. In connection with development, utilization, exploitation of mineral water and other resources.

NOTE: The ‘Incompatibility with NZ’s Constitutional and Legal Arrangements

Speaker of the House 22nd April 2022 was Willie Jackson, minister of Maori Development announced he had completed the first stage of a two step engagement process to develop the UNDRIP plan, it was to go to wider consultation. He referred to :- Almost 70 engagement workshops that were mainly held online. The represented diverse groups from Iwi Hapu, Tangata Whakaiha Maori & Rangatahi to groups interested in Health, Education, Environment. Saying the drafting plan will now commence. This will be undertaken in partnership with the National Iwi Chairs Forum and the Human Rights Commission over the next few months (April 22nd 2022) Before being shared for public consultation later at the end of 2022. He said ALL NZrs will get a chance to comment on the UN Declaration draft plan. Jackson said “already a lot of mahi is happening across government that’s consistent with the UN Declaration, the planned roadmap of actions are steadily working towards a measure of progress. There is already a lot of mahi across Government underway that is consistent with UNDRIP, but having a plan sets a roadmap of actions to steadily work towards and measure progress against.

Willie Jackson referred to having already made progress with the UNDRIP plan. He said “its not just about co-governance, its more than that. He referred to the positive strides as to Māori Health, that the Government are focusing on what works, what will fix the issues important to Māori.

The Government is supporting that which aligns with the UNDRIP. Jackson referred to Māori led COVID19 improved, increased  vaccination rates. And the Govt working in a partnership plan as to the implementation of the UN Declaration for Rights of the Indigenous Peoples of NZ.  This includes a broad range of Rights, Freedoms, That commit to improving Maori outcomes, developing a declaration plan to measure the partnership process in addressing Indigenous Rights.. There is much more to share on this beyond Co -Governance Partnership plan  -With Certain Iwi/Hapu, the National Iwi Forum, Human Rights Commission and the Govt.

There is much more to tell, therefore I have produced a follow up video to this one  namely ‘ CO-GOVERNANCE AND BEYOND (UNDRIP) PART 2’. Which also has the links to the two video’s I have shared .

The deliberate plundering of New Zealand. Worst every housing crisis. Fractured Mental Health services. Education Curriculum needs total revamp. Hospital waiting time in ED over 6 hrs for patients. Doctors and nurses crossing the ditch. The NZRDA (doctor’s union) has recently highlighted doctor shortages, with nationwide vacancies reaching a crisis point.

The Housing Crisis is massive, rent increases and the Government not living up to its ‘Living Standard’. As a result of unaffordable housing, overcrowding issues and a poor housing stock 300,000 New Zealand families are living in unacceptable housing conditions. A housing crisis that sees 27,000 families needing homes, with owning or renting out of reach of many. Temporary short term accommodation in motels turn out to be long term more permanent residence. Significant increase in homelessness. “Labour promised they would solve New Zealand’s housing crisis. Five years on, taxpayers have paid more than $1 billion in Emergency Housing …

The abandoned $800 million cycle bridge across Auckland Harbour cost more than $50 million on consultants, when it comes to the changes being planned for health, their ineptitude will cost lives. This abandonment of the community focus for health care in New Zealand, and its replacement by a centralised health bureaucracy based in Wellington – without any consultation or prior warning.

And in March this year the Public Service Commissioner issued a new code of conduct for board members of Crown agencies including DHBs. Described as a ‘gagging order’ by some, it came into force just two days before the Minister announced the abolition of DHBs, preventing health board members “from making political comment”.  Not only is the Government attempting to silence the health sector, they also want health care in New Zealand to be determined by race, not need. Since the health reforms are being run out of the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet – through a transition unit that has 25 staff and a $5 million budget – Jacinda Ardern is directly responsible.

This plan for Maori co-governance is, of course, a key objective of He Puapua – Labour’s blueprint for replacing democracy with tribal rule by 2040. With a Parliamentary majority and no coalition partner constraints, He Puapua is being progressed at pace – even though the Prime Minister has no mandate from voters to do so.  (Vision 2040). To deliver the He Puapua goal of Maori co-governance of health, the health system needs to be centralised, not decentralised. That’s why Labour is breaking its campaign pledge to retain DHBs. A fundamental pillar of our health system – ensuring New Zealanders retain their right to community-based healthcare that safeguards access to those living in isolated areas – is being sacrificed for He Puapua and the ideology of racial segregation.

The Maori Health Authority – co-chaired by Minister Nanaia Mahuta’s sister – is being justified on the basis of claims that Maori are Treaty partners with the Crown. But, since it is constitutionally impossible for subjects to be partners with their Sovereign, that is a fabrication. Yet on the basis of this lie, our Prime Minister is planning to give the new Maori elite – those running multi-million-dollar private tribal corporations – control over public health resources and services. Thus putting ideology ahead of lives by attempting to overhaul – and racially segregate – the entire health system during a pandemic.

Local and Central Government attacking the rural farmers from urban/city populated areas inside out. Plant based diets. (C40 Cities) No Farmers- No Food.

Amend Decriminalization Of Abortion Legislation. Abortion is NZ is legally allowed up to birth, sex selection is allows, abortion-for unborn baby with club foot, cleft lip, failed abortion baby can be left to die on hospital table no pain killers. NZ has one of the worst cruellest abortion legislations in the world. An Unborn baby is defined as a piece of foetal matter not as a human being until the time the baby is born. (Born Alive Rule)

Amend End Of Life Choice Legislation (Very Dangerous Concepts). People that are seriously ill may feel guilty, shamed a burden on the family, may not be taking prescribed pain killers. Who determines the length of a persons life-doctors often known to get this wrong. The under funding of palliative care in NZ is a serious problem

Carol Sakey   https://wakeupnz.org https://youtu.be/wcEGxTENW4M-  THE NEW ZEALAND LABOUR LED COMMUNIST DEGROWTH PROGRAMME

Researching Stats NZ (Govt) I came across a news article by Stuff N Z dated 30th January 2022 ‘ Can we trust the official unemployment number?’ And how low estimates of unemployment can make Policy makers look so good, and so many people trust the stats produced by Stats NZ (Govt). I have heard people say, this is the most non transparent government ever. When it comes to Stats NZ I have to wonder if they have ever been transparent and honest, I think not. A stuff NZ article reported ‘unemployment stats are probably about double the number they headline or perhaps higher’

Stats NZ produces a variety of measures of spare capacity in the labour market. This is how Stats NZ count unemployment rate. They do not count beneficiaries or the number on Job Seeker Support. The official unemployment numbers are based on face-to-face and phone interviews with 15,000 households, each of which will have been selected to participate in Stats NZ’s Household Labour Force Survey for a period of two years. Households are selected to be a representative sample of households, and people have to take  part in the survey if selected. The employment rate is expressed as a percentage of the labour force, which is the sum of people employed and the officially unemployed. Its seasonally adjusted, taking into account unemployment tends to swing a bit between winter and summer. If you tell Stats NZ you are unemployed then you are counted as unemployed. Then the stats are seasonally adjusted to take into account unemployment that swings a bit  between winter and summer.

If you tell Stats NZ you are unemployed, are you counted in the  statistics as unemployed? Nope, its not quite like that. To be counted as unemployed in the survey, people must not have a part time job, even if its just an hour every week. For example if someone is on a Jobseeker allowance who had not been looking for work because they were taking part in some training then they probably wont be counted as unemployed

When Stats NZ updates the unemployment numbers they also measure what is called the ‘under utilisation rate’. Counts two groups of people as potential job seekers. Its not a matter of just counting the real  numbers unemployed.  But there is a case to argue that most people think about what Stats NZ consider as unemployed. When describing people with only an hour or so work per week not added to the unemployment numbers. Its all designed to make the govt look good. This is much like other key stats eg ‘inflation’ data. Is it all designed to make the government look good? Stats NZ compiles its labour market stats based on International rules, determined by the UN International Labour Organization. Thus labour market stats are comparable internationally all the way back to 1986. Zilch transparency.

Its not just as simple as one might think, there is certainly a lot of non transparency. Stats NZ (Govt) should one trust them ‘NOT ME’

SOCIAL JUSTICE- REALLY??  SOCIAL JUSTICE focuses on one segment of the population and disregards the interests of others are not the immediate focus of discussion, but who nevertheless less everyone pays the cost of decisions made , this is called by State and leftist cultural Marxists as ‘ Equal’ treatment of people by the State (Government’ sometimes called the Crown’ (the word Crown which distances the Government itself from being accountable for its actions). The State of Cultural Marxism. There are no benefits, just trade off’s.  The Common Good for All Utopia. There is no Utopia, and there will never be, and there will never be ‘equality’ either just ideologies to divide and conquer. The dark side of politics. The term that keeps being pushed on the population of New Zealand, its actually making mass civil unrest and sufferings and anxiety for the people of the nation.

The State is pushing Social Justice by including correcting injustices, imposing an arbitratory cost on another’s innocent person. UNJUSTIFIABLY serving an INJUSTICE on innocent people. There is no Justification for this, it is purely an ‘entitlement’ to various types of compensation. Welfare benefits are an example of ‘entitlements’ where there is no incentive to work, only gives the State more control over the people. The problem with a Socialist Government eventually they run out of peoples money, and the wealthy are not putting their hands in their pockets it’s the tax payers of NZ that always pay. Those that are productive are punished to serve the non-productive. Surely the best thing would be is to support small businesses, that create innovation for their employee’s. Build self worth into peoples lives, for them to become self empowered to help themselves. Labour and National Political Parties becoming to look one on the same. Both promoting fear around climate alarmism, both want to hit the rural farming community and both promote mass migration, both promote toxic agriculture. Targeting small businesses, farmers of New Zealand promoting large foreign businesses, land owners in New Zealand.

This is Socialism on steroids, De Growth Communism that call this promoting Social Justice that actually require fatal radical legislations. Social Justice warriors often value their own ego gratification over people benefits. They invest in Social Justice narratives. They create for themselves a ‘vested interest’ in incapacitating other people. Developing a tendency for people to feel like victims, helpless and vulnerable and not responsible for their own actions. The self-styled rescuers of the victims that created. This promotes a defeatism mindset, the labeling victim vs offender. Oppressor vs oppressed. Divide and Separate more power to the state to control the citizens of NZ. The ego’s of the anointed, the immunity of corruption, the immunity of deceit, the creators of civil unrest. NOT the wellness and betterment of all people to live with each other in peace and contentment. Social Justice is NOT a corrective solution the costs of this so called Social Justice hugely outstrips  benefits of the people, creates serious costly damage of real injustices at the hands of  Central Government and Local Govt. Social Justice and Cultural Marxism- Socialism-Woke- people are forced to take sides or just run in fear from the battlefield.

Public debates, speeches ending up in intimidation and aggression we saw the out of control crowd mob at the Posie Parker Event, where people were hurt, severely harassed as police looked on. Where is Social Justice in that may I ask? This is unjustified and criminal.  When I complained to police that were looking on that I had been assaulted 4 times, my  expensive phone stolen , water thrown over me, steel fence thrown at me.  Asking police to arrest the offenders, pointing to whom they were. Police response “Well they are very passionate in what they believe in” My response being “And so are Murders and Rapists”.  This is called Social Justice in New Zealand.

This is Marxism, socialism on steroids its communism, it’s a run-away freight train the passengers, the Govt and the paid of Main Stream media, that is used to influence peoples minds and behaviors. It’s Nazism, it just what Goebbels did in Hitlers Germany controlled the media. Used intimidation, harassment. This is a political and spiritual warfare. Anti western, targeting westernization, traditions, family structures and conservative Christianity. The Communist Manifesto “Communism abolishes external truths, it abolishes religion, it abolishes morality’. It also abolishes biology. In school ABS equates to LGBTQ+1. No XX and XY. Marx penned, what he saw as a teenagers letter saying “This heaven I have forfeited, I know it full well. My soul was once true to God, its now chosen for hell”. Marx referred this to the ‘Abolishment of Morality’. Marx explained that “the path to Utopia included the end of religious gatherings, the re-writing of history, brainwashing of the ‘uninformed’ and shutting down free speech” this being the “forcible overthrow of social conditions”.  The followers of Marx philosophy killed over 100 million people in the 20^th century.

Nikolai Bukharin founding editor of the Russian Communist newspaper wrote “We must take our religion at the top of a bayonet”. Stalin 1929-1953 entirely cleansed Russia of all Christian churches. The Mao’s China motto was ‘Keep people stupid” this was launched in 1966 during a Social Education Campaign demanding that every citizen wake up in the morning and to worship the statue of Mao, the so called Sun God. The biggest mass murder in history were perpetrated by Hitler, Stalin and were outdone by Chairman Mao Zedong. From 1958-1962 his Great Leap Forward policy led to the deaths of over 45 million people. Mao initiated a new religion and he demanded that he was the God of this religion.

I was drawn to an article written by the NZ China Friendship Society 17^th January 2013. A woven feather cloak was to be returned to New Zealand. It had been gifted to Chairman Mao Zedong by the 5^th Maori King on April 23^rd 1957.  There was no justice, equality in China at that time. The Mao era was a very cruel one. All in all he murdered over 60 million revolutionaries. The Maori cloak ‘Korowai’ traditionally a mantle of prestige, honour, leadership. Ardern wore a Korowai when meeting the Queen to show her leadership of New Zealand

Chairman Mao Zedong that murdered a million people given a Korowai. All in the name of leadership, a mantle of prestige and honour. Do you call this  Social Justice? “ALL THE HORRIFIC INJUSTICES THAT ARE TOTALLY UNJUSTIFIED” AND HONOURED   –  SOCIAL JUSTICE and EQUALITY -Does NOT Exist.
