One thing Nanaia Mahuta is right about is a Treaty referendum (as per David Seymour's wish). The Treaty (and Treaty principles) should be part of a wider discussion on a proper Constitution for New Zealand. At the moment we have a random and unquantified collection of legislation and other documentation which supposedly makes up a "constitution". Its embarrassing and its about time the country grew up and sorted this out. It may be a long and fraught process but it needs to start sooner rather than later.
Do you know that NZ was originally part of NSW, Australia? But under that the tangata Maori were not British Subjects, and they would have been treated the same as the Australian Aborigines under New South Wales dependency/laws. To protect the tangata Maori, as promised by the King William in 1831, they had to become British Subjects. The Treaty of Waitangi asked the tangata Maori chiefs to give up their governments and in return, they would become British Subjects with the same rights as the people of England. Under English Law, which is based on, Magnan Carta, Queen Victoria could not give the tangata Maori any special rights in the Treaty of Waitangi not enjoyed by all the people of New Zealand, and none were given. By April 1840, the Treaty of Waitangi had been signed by over 500 tangata Maori chiefs .... There are numerous gaps in the founding papers for NZ under Britain. Since Maori didn't have one representative who could sign on their behalf, all the cheifs would need to sign it to contract them in as a whole. But not all of them did. So currently some tribes although having enjoyed the protection of Brittain by default all this time aren't legally contracted in to the constitutional documents. I suspect NZ will eventually head down a path of political discussion about becoming a republic and/or forming a new constitution to tidy all this up. Interestingly they recently tried to add aborigines to Australias constitution. I find it strange that the treaty gets all the airtime when it was one of five important documents that founded NZ as a British colony. There is heaps of info about the other founding documents on one new Zealand foundations website.
I don't disagree with the history, and your comments reinforce my point that NZ needs a proper constitution that can be easily read and understood. The ToW (and publicly agreed Treaty principles) would be part of this.

Not quite true. Sure for her first 21 years she was known as one of the laziest MP's in parliament. But she certainly made up for it with 3 waters even if it was an ill conceived idea. Generally she came across well in the interview though I am not sure I believe all she said.
I had no special liking to her before listening to this interview but now I am absolutely impressed with her highly intelligent and profound demeanor. The mature, calm and composed manner she expresses her views on very complex issues shows her high level of wisdom which is way too above most of our petty national politicians. It was quite heartening to see how she treats all of us equally - not only Maoris, when she stressed that race based politics or parties is not the future for ALL of us New Zealanders. She clearly has demonstrated that she can easily strike the balance between her own ethnicity with that of other people who live in NZ. You are a much larger than life person Nanaia!!
Huh you underestimated misinformation? You mean you underestimated that your actions had consequences, which you and Labour are now paying the price for. Hit the road jack!
A point made that we should be looking for diversity in ideas and different people, ... working together as a nation yet..... she states that we as citizens of NZ should only be looking at a single source of truth and not looking outside for truth speaks for itself
Hat's off to Nanaia for her honesty in this interview. However, she confirmed the reality with modern NZ that we are a multicultural country not a bi cultural one. TPM took votes from the labour party because TPM don't understand that
You missed the point, the Younger Maori might have gone out with Te Pati Maori, and that is great! Leave them in their splendid Isolation! I left Labour as a Pakeha because of the arrogance of Maori and its BS. I could go back to Labour if it isn't highjacked by a Racial slant. My father fought for the Famous 20th Battalion, a great South Island Pakeha Battalion and he fought for one person one vote! The 20th made the 28th look like boy scouts. You are the reason why I voted against Labour! Te Parti Maori are not for democracy! Maori are against democracy! Of Course Labour were deceptive with the Hua Pua Report....I still can't get a copy of this important document.....This disgusted me! There is nothing like helping the whanau out! She is full of s. regarding China.
There was never any honesty and openess with anything she promoted and non Maori were never considered as being part of New Zealand you devided people into sectors, and devided Kiwi.
Mostly a good interview but a foreign minister tweeting with misinformation against the advice of MFAT, doesn't sit well with me. You need to do more to correct that "mistake" .
TAME so nice and woke in his leftest diversity interviews. No way hed be this nice to RH DPM Winston PETERS. A positive is the comments of free speech are still on.
It is time we done away with the Maori seats as their is no full blooded Maori in this country. All have other blood and we should all be one race not two.
We have lots of dangerous people looking to form a new government. In the past, the coalition talk just happened in Wellington and inside parliament . The group who are discussing the formation of a government spending more in terms of location and transportation. So much containing government spending.
I like what she said about national identity and I agree more with her view on it than any currently in parliament. I think about her position since the vote and I think about all the other Labour peeps on how they feel about leaving and Nanaia is the only one I would keep for opposition. 16 years ago I attended a DIA national staff hui and Nanaia, who was guest speaker, was the only person including the hosts who weren't falling asleep on the job ie lazy maoris, to me it seemed she was sharp and knew exactly what she was talking about, exactly like now.
This is a good and revealing interview. Nanaia Mahuta discussing key differences between the Maori and Labour parties. Good that she recognises how divisive identity-based politics can be. A pity she didnt anticipate how divisive Three Waters and co-governance can be. Relations with China sounds like navivating a tightrope between trade and NZ's traditional alignment with the West. Divesting from China is easier said than done. Mahuta's ignoring MFAT's advice to condemn Hamas following the events of 7 October was a grave mistake. Curious about the mysterious party who advised her. Was Labour afraid of losing the Muslim vote by calling out Hamas? Its interesting to see that Mahuta has shifted her position on abortion to a pro-choice stance based on women's rights.

Maori are NOT indigenous; all came from the Pacific on wakas that are proudly identified. Please do not stick this label on an ethnic group in order to give them preferential treatment. What a load of - when you talk about unity - it is the Labour party's actions in government that have split the nation and the sense of national identity, into Maori, and "the rest" - we are described now as "Non-Maori" - wow, Until Labour politicians actually admit that they have split the country, by zero-sum gaming preferring Maori over everyone else - the health sector, language (substituting English words with Maori words that do not have the same meaning). Other viewpoints are routinely labeled as "racist" to silence people who disagree with these views. Think about why Labour lost - not because they were centrist enough, not but because of these cultural issues. Until you can reflect on that, Labour is not going to get back into government.
No it doesn’t. Māori are not indigenous to Nz. Not born of Nz. They arrived by boat - just like all the other humans. We are all human. This race baiting needs to stop and we all need to do our best.
I'm Maori and proud to be Maori, as well as English, Welsh and a whole lot of others thrown in. But really you people need to get over yourselves. Maori are the Sovereign people of NZ, we are the Indigenous race as recognized by 172 Sovereign States INTERNATIONALLY. SO don't waffle BS about Maori not being the Indigenous race, for what ever reason you dream up.
Good discussion, however I do not agree with the comment regarding a potential future Republic, regarding the building of a Republic by not ignoring the foundation that was inherited. Personally I think the foundation was not ignored. In fact I feel the foundation that had been built, may have prevented the total demise of a people (based on the amount of infighting and waring that was taking place), allowing a nation to grow IMHO
@@janinebreckon6511 people use the word Crown loosely not really fully understanding it. The CROWN refers only to the British Crown or U.K. CROWN they are the Crown in NZ. There is no such thing as the NZ Crown it has never existed, NZ Government has always been subservient to the U.K. Parliament on behalf of Maori. And NZ will never become a Republic.
Nanaia is partly right and I like her however we do not have a constitution and I think the best way to achieve a Peoples Constitution is to go Open Source Democracy through Referendum.
The two systems which have a lot of referendums, the Swiss and California (which I have direct experience of having lived there for about a decade) particularly around Constitutional changes demonstrate in reality how flawed you proposed 'solution" is. The Swiss federation had several cantons which didn't allow women the vote until the mid 1990s, and social change in the country is noticeably considerably slower than the countries which are its neighbours, despite social attitudes in the wider Swiss community in the general population being similar. If you're a conservative white male its great but its a view point which is over represented in the society vs their voting power within the country. Ironically the system supposed to make the place more democratic makes it less so. In California its so relatively easy to get up Ballot Initiatives (what they call their referendum) that they routinely have half a dozen every cycle (which being the US ,is every 2 years) which by large even reasonable educated voters have neither the time nor energy to understand, especially as they are often complex/niche issues which are hard to understand. For instance in the 1978 proposition 13, restricts property taxes to 2% a year added to a restrictions on new property valuations to only when they are sold. It means in a system which relies much more heavily on property taxes (its not only local authorities rely on this revenue, but its the primary source for public education providers). that there's been a massive wealth transfer from the older, property owning Californians, plus ,massively surpassed the real estate market and a big reason why the State has such a massive demand/ supply issue and therefore unaffordable housing problem. Almost all major social law change in NZ history happened via Parliamentary vote, not by binding referendum. A lot of the social liberties you enjoy today would either not have happened at all or been sustainably slower had you proposed system been in effect.

Maori are heard just as much as anyone else, and in some cases more. There are no Pakeha or Asian Immigrant electorates that I know of, for example. As long anyone keeps pretending that Maori have different needs than anyone else, or are entitled to additional rights, they are deceiving themselves (and sometimes other people).
There is no pretence, but as we look at all indigenous people we have all experienced the same negative attitude. Because we have been more vocal, you see this as crying, well get over It.

She clearly has demonstrated that she can easily strike the balance between her own ethnicity with that of other people who live in NZ. You are a much larger than life person Nanaia!!
She is just one of them things
But. She still calls our country Aotearoa
It is not. It is NEW ZEALAND.
Huh you underestimated misinformation? You mean you underestimated that your actions had consequences, which you and Labour are now paying the price for. Hit the road jack!
Exactly 💯
I am glad she is out. Pls dont come back.
Without doubt a defeated woman of dubious background, the country is well rid of her as a representitive of the people of New Zealand..
So proud of herself…..for being a failure😳😂😂😂
A point made that we should be looking for diversity in ideas and different people, ... working together as a nation yet..... she states that we as citizens of NZ should only be looking at a single source of truth and not looking outside for truth speaks for itself
Where was this Mahuta for the last 6 years?
goodbye and good riddance ...
Hahahaa she is a disaster for new Zealand
Hat's off to Nanaia for her honesty in this interview. However, she confirmed the reality with modern NZ that we are a multicultural country not a bi cultural one. TPM took votes from the labour party because TPM don't understand that
Still devious
Hats off to you for telling the truth as it is!!
Worst labour govt I’ve ever known.
Worst government in my life, 5 decades of voting.
You missed the point, the Younger Maori might have gone out with Te Pati Maori, and that is great! Leave them in their splendid Isolation!
I left Labour as a Pakeha because of the arrogance of Maori and its BS. I could go back to Labour if it isn't highjacked by a Racial slant. My father fought for the Famous 20th Battalion, a great South Island Pakeha Battalion and he fought for one person one vote! The 20th made the 28th look like boy scouts.
You are the reason why I voted against Labour!
Te Parti Maori are not for democracy! Maori are against democracy!
Of Course Labour were deceptive with the Hua Pua Report....I still can't get a copy of this important document.....This disgusted me! There is nothing like helping the whanau out!
She is full of s. regarding China.
The host has decided to remove the parasite, it was costing too much.
There was never any honesty and openess with anything she promoted and non Maori were never considered as being part of New Zealand you devided people into sectors, and devided Kiwi.
Mostly a good interview but a foreign minister tweeting with misinformation against the advice of MFAT, doesn't sit well with me. You need to do more to correct that "mistake" .
TAME so nice and woke in his leftest diversity interviews.
No way hed be this nice to RH DPM Winston PETERS.
A positive is the comments of free speech are still on.
It is time we done away with the Maori seats as their is no full blooded Maori in this country. All have other blood and we should all be one race not two.
That is just not true. Nor the correct thing to do. Nor is it for you to tell other people what they are.
And what race is that? Goodluck telling the Chinese and Indian citizens of Nz that they are your race lol
Maori still own this country so I suggest you go live some place elsewhere
Good riddance, she should be in prison
More dribble from a dangerous lady
We have lots of dangerous people looking to form a new government. In the past, the coalition talk just happened in Wellington and inside parliament . The group who are discussing the formation of a government spending more in terms of location and transportation. So much containing government spending.
Good work by Tame drawing out the fact that Mahuta has zero self-awareness.
Catastrophe for human life how is that zero self awareness very direct and straight forward,nothing to do with Jack.Winston took him to the cleaners
@@jesswhaanga8643 I don’t understand what you mean.
@@ronshaw1955 just saying she is straight up nothing to hide how has jack drawn out everything.He tried to gaslight Winston shows his style!!
This lady speaks so well. I'm going to listen to this again.
I like what she said about national identity and I agree more with her view on it than any currently in parliament. I think about her position since the vote and I think about all the other Labour peeps on how they feel about leaving and Nanaia is the only one I would keep for opposition. 16 years ago I attended a DIA national staff hui and Nanaia, who was guest speaker, was the only person including the hosts who weren't falling asleep on the job ie lazy maoris, to me it seemed she was sharp and knew exactly what she was talking about, exactly like now.
Ppppppp
Pppppppp
Pp
The disaster called Naina. The traitor of all Kiwis.
Corrupt.
Probably the best interview I’ve seen her do too be honest.
We had a recent PM who knew how to spin and sound good. This woman is evil.
This is a good and revealing interview. Nanaia Mahuta discussing key differences between the Maori and Labour parties. Good that she recognises how divisive identity-based politics can be. A pity she didnt anticipate how divisive Three Waters and co-governance can be.
Relations with China sounds like navivating a tightrope between trade and NZ's traditional alignment with the West. Divesting from China is easier said than done.
Mahuta's ignoring MFAT's advice to condemn Hamas following the events of 7 October was a grave mistake. Curious about the mysterious party who advised her. Was Labour afraid of losing the Muslim vote by calling out Hamas?
Its interesting to see that Mahuta has shifted her position on abortion to a pro-choice stance based on women's rights.
3 waters was never explained properly by the Labour Government, NOW we have two Maori IDIOTS Winston and Seymour and one white dude about to crap all over 3 waters, reducing our drinking water quality back into the dark ages.
When your relatives die from water born illnesses, think 3 waters would have saved them.
Jack Tame kisses backsides
Maori are NOT indigenous; all came from the Pacific on wakas that are proudly identified. Please do not stick this label on an ethnic group in order to give them preferential treatment. What a load of - when you talk about unity - it is the Labour party's actions in government that have split the nation and the sense of national identity, into Maori, and "the rest" - we are described now as "Non-Maori" - wow, Until Labour politicians actually admit that they have split the country, by zero-sum gaming preferring Maori over everyone else - the health sector, language (substituting English words with Maori words that do not have the same meaning). Other viewpoints are routinely labeled as "racist" to silence people who disagree with these views. Think about why Labour lost - not because they were centrist enough, not but because of these cultural issues. Until you can reflect on that, Labour is not going to get back into government.
do you feel compelled to make this point because you're interested in historical accuracy, or coz you need to tell people youre racist?
Absolute rubbish. Māori are the first people to settle Aotearoa. That makes them indigenous by every definition.
No it doesn’t. Māori are not indigenous to Nz. Not born of Nz. They arrived by boat - just like all the other humans. We are all human. This race baiting needs to stop and we all need to do our best.
That is like saying English aren't native to England. The Angles and Saxons came from Germania.
I'm Maori and proud to be Maori, as well as English, Welsh and a whole lot of others thrown in. But really you people need to get over yourselves.
Maori are the Sovereign people of NZ, we are the Indigenous race as recognized by 172 Sovereign States INTERNATIONALLY.
SO don't waffle BS about Maori not being the Indigenous race, for what ever reason you dream up.
Jack,you should have stayed in the King country.
Terrific interview, Nanaia Mahuta's fascinating insights and perspective, highly educative and visionary.
Voted out ! Theres what new zealand thought aye , end of .
Claiming the waikato river... wtf
Good discussion, however I do not agree with the comment regarding a potential future Republic, regarding the building of a Republic by not ignoring the foundation that was inherited. Personally I think the foundation was not ignored. In fact I feel the foundation that had been built, may have prevented the total demise of a people (based on the amount of infighting and waring that was taking place), allowing a nation to grow
IMHO
And what would happen becoming a Republic TPM and co would create mayham , I'd prefer staying with the Crown for protection and security
@@janinebreckon6511 people use the word Crown loosely not really fully understanding it. The CROWN refers only to the British Crown or U.K. CROWN they are the Crown in NZ.
There is no such thing as the NZ Crown it has never existed, NZ Government has always been subservient to the U.K. Parliament on behalf of Maori.
And NZ will never become a Republic.
also indiginous people means = people born into a country, no separatism of different rights for certain races
Your right you didnt hear how people were hurting b...h.....
As long as you and yours werent suffering
Nanaia is partly right and I like her however we do not have a constitution and I think the best way to achieve a Peoples Constitution is to go Open Source Democracy through Referendum.
The two systems which have a lot of referendums, the Swiss and California (which I have direct experience of having lived there for about a decade) particularly around Constitutional changes demonstrate in reality how flawed you proposed 'solution" is.
The Swiss federation had several cantons which didn't allow women the vote until the mid 1990s, and social change in the country is noticeably considerably slower than the countries which are its neighbours, despite social attitudes in the wider Swiss community in the general population being similar. If you're a conservative white male its great but its a view point which is over represented in the society vs their voting power within the country. Ironically the system supposed to make the place more democratic makes it less so.
In California its so relatively easy to get up Ballot Initiatives (what they call their referendum) that they routinely have half a dozen every cycle (which being the US ,is every 2 years) which by large even reasonable educated voters have neither the time nor energy to understand, especially as they are often complex/niche issues which are hard to understand.
For instance in the 1978 proposition 13, restricts property taxes to 2% a year added to a restrictions on new property valuations to only when they are sold. It means in a system which relies much more heavily on property taxes (its not only local authorities rely on this revenue, but its the primary source for public education providers). that there's been a massive wealth transfer from the older, property owning Californians, plus ,massively surpassed the real estate market and a big reason why the State has such a massive demand/ supply issue and therefore unaffordable housing problem.
Almost all major social law change in NZ history happened via Parliamentary vote, not by binding referendum. A lot of the social liberties you enjoy today would either not have happened at all or been sustainably slower had you proposed system been in effect.
@@user-uy6uc5ey5q probably partly correct so as we've seen how to fuck a system up we Kiwis should be able to see the pressure groups and NGO like NED and USAID and all connected to them and simple Legislate to remove there rights because that type of behavour is Terrorism.
All you have said has exposed who you are and the remedy to your issue
The reason NZ does not have a constitution is because this country is under the control of Maori. And all past and present Governments have held fast to their CODE OF SILENCE and refused to be honest with the public. They just cannot belittle themselves to say WE MUST SEEK ADVICE AND PERMISSION FROM Maori before we can act.
#The government cannot tell the public that they MUST attend Waitangi Celebrations each year without fail to receive a GRANT from Maori to govern for the next 12 months.
#WHY IS THAT?
#Government goes to Ratana every year seeking Ratana's Authority all done behind closed doors, why is that?
Mrs mahuta i feel should look at a Maori prison officers job i feel she would fit in well
your so down on Maori. Maori still own this country I might pay you a visit and lock your dumass up.
BS...
What is exactly?
One Party with a Global perspective and a Local Inclusiveness regardless of Race, Ethiticity and Gender
The epitome of Nepotism. Good riddance.
Lovely interview. You see the human side of her, not so much in the news that she was in.
get rid of this thief
I respect Nanaia but her fealty to the u.s and demonisation of China is backwards.
I can't stand any of these two so goodbye! :)
She makes clear points about the center. Labour stands for people rights over the power of wealth .
No labour does not !! It only stands for the rights of those who have the same views in accordance with their own agendas!!
@@kenmckay5578 Is your statement true of all the parties in parliament?
Who increased minimum annual leave? Who introduced paid parental leave? Who increased investment in public transportation? Who started think about the retirement pension system in 1973, and 2000? ( Other parties reversed this forward thinking) Who help local government reorganize in the 1980s?
@@kenmckay5578 So public housing since 1993 till 2022 was increased by Labour by 17,000 but National reduced the number by 2,000 during the same period. Whose interests where served by each party?
@@adsdft585 have you seen the state of the public housing? The best thing to do is to sell them off and build new ones. Financial liabilities.
@@rippedup1931 Being a landlord is big job. National under spent on the government output. Why to make look like they were controlling spending. Similar situations with roads. Labour were to slow catch on road maintenance like a lot things in last 3 to 6 years.
Thanks Jack and Nanaia for your views, Thank Nanaia for your services as a minister except giving your conflict of interest with your family members
that will end soon with new incoming
Very backhanded and underhanded she deserved to go
Typical RW wahine bashing sad people in the comments.
Bye
Overall national will be asking themselves how they got it so wrong not winning outright and having to rely on other parties to govern ,
Love the even keel view of Nanaia Mahuta. Her wider view is what is essential for NZ. xx
Really. You must be either Maori or a leftist
Are maori 87%…..or 17%😳🙄
Cultural or genetic?
@@mitchelldenysschen3224 you be as cultural as you wish but genetics is locked in🙄
@@John-c7i4m so people that are Māori are genetically 100% Māori ?
@@mitchelldenysschen3224 no…..but a person with only 1% maori blood can claim to be maori and therefore get all the benefits😜😜😏
Great interview, thanks Jack and Nanaia
Absolute waste of space along with her mates Davis and Jackson sooner they get their noses out of the trough the better.
Maori want to be heard, and you are right our people are affected by wages, housing,, a rise in consumer prices, to name a few. I admire the interview being carried out in Manaiapoto wharenui, and rohe. and not at Turangawaewae. You did us proud Nanaia, tena koe e whaia Nga mihi nui kia koe.
Maori are heard just as much as anyone else, and in some cases more. There are no Pakeha or Asian Immigrant electorates that I know of, for example. As long anyone keeps pretending that Maori have different needs than anyone else, or are entitled to additional rights, they are deceiving themselves (and sometimes other people).
There is no pretence, but as we look at all indigenous people we have all experienced the same negative attitude. Because we have been more vocal, you see this as crying, well get over It. You must be blind there are more pakeha representations., Oh, that's right, you only want to see your point of view.
@@tangimate I don't give a whit about this "indigenous" nonsense, and I'm not even talking abot Maori arriving on boats just like everyone else, but a couple hundred years ahead of everyone else. Gaul was invaded by the Romans, the Saxons got invaded by the Normans, and you don't hear anyone squealing about that. Why? Because they all just got on with it. One set of rules, one set of expectation, for all.
@@mr2981 Really, your opinion stinks, I know what my people have faced and still do. Most of those you refer too, in Europe robbed other nations such as ours, so dont bleet ,to me how they don't have issues, when they are the issues. Knowing so much about heritage, sounds as though migrated here on an ar conditioned plane.
@@tangimate Oh you poor thing. i wonder what Tommy Solomon would make of your complaints. Hey, how many native species did Maori drive to extinction in the first hundred years alone? What percentage of the forest did they burn? How many of each other did you kill for territory? Cry me a river.
Jack Tame, what a disgrace as a reporter. The complete opposite from the way you conducted this interview to the disgraceful way you interviewed Winston Peter's. The media have a obligation to report the TRUTH. Not to weigh heavily on your pay packet to see which way you sway. DO your jobs honestly
I am not a fan of her or her party but she came across well here 👍
Be very aware of smooth talkers in my considerable business experience
Good riddance.
Wish you all the best going forward Nanaia. Much respect.
Thank you for your service, Ms Mahuta!
Good bye! 😂good riddance
Love the interview,be blessed with your family, and the Comiunities
"Probably not" - oh alright then jesus
She not even nice to look at !!
Great interview.
Greater that she's out.
A great interview by Nanaia and Jack
A totally biased interview - disgraceful
