I'm Maori, I speak Maori, and my culture is important to me. But this is total BS. I don't want anyone to employ me because I am Maori, I want to be employed because I am the best person for that job. I want to be respected, but respect doesn't mean everyone else has to learn Maori to show me that respect. That's not how life works. I can watch Maori tv if I want to hear the news in Maori. But I don't watch tv news now. Or read anything that is virtue signaling. I only really listen to podcasts.
Sounds like Willy Jackson might be hauling you off to his re-education camp real soon.
@@peterrhodes5663 whose willy Jackson ain't he a white boy.
@@johnsimon6961 Welch 'Maori'. One of the Maori elite.
What would be positive is if people started to say what their actual ancestries are and not just maori because we are at a point where people aren't just maori and it's making it seem like it's a religion and not a race. If more people actually knew their histories based off of the people that came here and there perspective and not this ignorant tale of "maori and pakeha" we wouldn't be in this ignorant situation. Half of my family say they are part maori and also know the stories of their other good british ancestors purely out of respect for their lineage and the rest of their family. People didn't always just call themselves "maori" only 40 years ago so it's creating a cultural and family ignorance to just disregard an entire part of one's ancestry because they are white and have been raised by a very hateful and racist perspective. I'm a 5th generation nzer who has a real understanding of the fact that the maori language wasn't oppressed because I know my history because my scottish great great great grandfather taught english and spoke maori,gaelic and english and he had beautiful relationships with the maori chiefs and their families and if it waa oppressed no one would be speaking it at all. A lot of people just happened to be british as well and it was a common communication so that two people could communicate in a household, nothing weird about that, its totally logical and then people were too lazy to learn maori and those who were white and wanted to learn it were picked on for even trying, so not very inclusive, the english language was a very open communication point where many accents came about and thats how it was so successful, it wasnt a huge issue to speak it incorrectly. It's some maori thinking they have an authority over histories that aren't just theirs because they don't even know where their own ancestors are from or their achievements and are being taught colonial histories by liars, racist upbringings and families that is weaving this nasty part of the maori culture and lies aboit colonial families into nz society when it shouldnt be there. To truly tell history from the perspective of both sides you have to actually know the cultures, talk to all people descended of colonials and respect all perspectives and the places they were from and the backgrounds of these people as well, but they have no idea and they are literally spreading lies and hate and it's actually ruining the maori culture because people in mixed race families in the past, that respected family, did not trash on and lie about their spouses, their kids parents and own dna and other people's families to take money off of nzers contributions in taxes from the govr for a pay check and to further abuse people by then taking these lies into our schools to further spread the racism and demoralisation of people in nz. It is truly destroying the good unities and hard work of very poor and good people and turning them and their families into unappreciated slaves of the past.
@@elizabethbradley4301 you just wrote a book
For all those who voted Labour - were you aware this was their policy, are you still onboard? I voted Labour all my life, never again.
Totally agree. Act for me at the next election.
Me too
Same here
Nah last coupla election didn't
Church base party without God in mids of every decision making by government if not we going no where same place everytime but getting worse as time goes by❤
If Maori are a separate independent nation then maybe they need to start funding themselves from taxes taken from Maori
The whole fuckn things is a manipulation from both sides, not just one.. understand new zealand is a corporation not a country.
Exactly and build some bloody jails on their scrubby land
Ha they don’t pay tax or rates True
Cool - Go back to England and we'll reset the whole country
@@jasonchristos3813 Don't you know your own history... Hongi Hika started the musket wars that wiped out 1/3 of the Maori population... by the time Europeans came remaining Maori were gravely beaten down by war and they welcomed signing the treaty as they saw it as protection for their people against continual war and their only means of survival. Reset the country? That warrior gene your people still carry... how long before you are busily wiping each other out again?
I've been saying this for over a decade, accused of racism endless times. What I was saying is - one Kiwi one vote.
I am now proud to be called racist.
100%+ agree... we can only be one people, one vote... equal rights in all things...a democracy.
what a stupid thing to say
The more I listened the more I got pissed off with the direction New Zealand is heading. One people, one country, one system, simple. 🇳🇿
I agree - I read a post on an Australian site recently where an Australian was suggesting all kiwis should go and live in Australia... he said "here you are equal.... not so in New Zealand"... I hate to admit that he is right when we have a government pushing very undemocratic racist policies and ideals on us. Unfortunately with the new outcomes relating to citizenship NZ/OZ many will probably do just that.
💯, a maori land a maori people and a maori culture. None of this pakeha bs. You come here to get away from Europe, not make polynesia into Europe 😊
I think that's why he's not funded. He makes people angry. What's the point in that.
@@tanegurnick5071Dunno! Many people come here in the dream of a better life. When you have a number of generations growing up here - you feel indigenous. I get his frustration but not his racism. I like variation and what it brings but he has a lot of hatred. Sad.
@c.cryder8398 what you feel and what you are, is two different things, one dosent entitle you to the other. Government is trying to wipe my culture out, they have said they see no value in it, imagine if they were talking about English and making maori compulsory and deleting everything English, how would you feel
Great journalism Sean. You certainly not a lazy journalist like most working in MSM.
Much appreciated.
This govt is off the rails! Their policies are totally counter productive and will produce significant backlash as they should. Down with this woke asf bs I say.
This government is being lead by Ardern who is a loyal follower of the WEP.
It is time for the Treaty to be scrapped. It has always been an ambiguous document and it has now outlived its usefulness. In its place we need a Bill of Rights or a constitution which clearly outlines the rights and responsibilitiies of ALL New Zealanders - regardless of ethnicity. Unless we clearly spell this out, NZ will inevitiably head towards an apartheid society and resultant violence.
The call for a bill of rights is a little naive!? Who would write it,would they be able to right it without placing " the treaty " front and centre as is happening in all our laws. I don't think so.
It's been apartheid for at least 30yrs now. The treaty is a ransom demand. Making the scum 1st class citizens who everyone must pay for.
The academics and politicians would take over and write it and hijack with just the same crap as we have here unfortunately.
I support the treaty and I'm not a Maori its kinda got issues due to division between everyone tge re county we all share today we dontvknow what happens tomorrow but right now be nice to see it sorted for all make new Zealand together again it's always stupid talk that is the problem the stupid takj is always connect to higher up than the tax payers that's the issue and get the hell out of wef
We already have a Bill of Rights. It is routinely ignored by law makers, it is routinely contravined and there is no surprise that New Zealanders would be unaware of it. The fundamental basic human rights for all people, equally, needs to be succinctly written into the constitution.
There are not many true journos left. Thanks Sean a light of hope
th-cam.com/video/pwxr0llu47Q/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=TimcastIRL here you go.
yes all this has come about under this leftwing lot
This needs a refresh now that Winston is bringing it to light Sean
Unsurprisingly ironic that the document cites institutional racism in post colonial NZ society, while promoting the implementation of its own version of institutional racism.
Yip exactly well said
So afraid of this and what is happeming to NZ. Thanks for putting it out there as otherwise we would be none the wiser.
I think as soon as they started segregating our kids races in education and Healthcare that should have been the red flag. Everyone should already be very aware of what's going on for the past 40 years that are living in NZ
Lynn we'll give Labour a nice long holiday at Election time and claim back our country and its sanity.
This country is in trouble. The sooner we get rid of this government the better. I thought we were all New Zealanders and proud of it.
Apparently we're not allowed to be proud patriots, infact we should ve guilty and shamed for things that we didn't do but just for existing in that skin tone.
Considering our government is part crown and third party owned, and also never going to change the governing ethic, which is neo-liberal, which means, our country is also owned by who ever is willing to pay cash...
Our democracy will never allow us to change our government, only its color and mask from red to blue, national to labor,
whom of which have been leading us on the same path they established ages ago, therefore, never actually been a democracy, and only legally acceptable because of crown sway over law making.
We were only ever fodder, and ignorantly proud of what we had been fed, because it tasted good.
We aren't new zealand, we are just a slice to the globalist pie.
It's not the government that's the issue. It's the same tripe that you see being pushed in the USA specifically universities as well as in the UK where excuses are the norm for so called minorities who just can't help themselves i.e whether it being higher in the stats of poor or crime & allowances need to be made. What your hearing Sean say is all white people are racists & blacks aren't which then is used to shut down debate & if you've seen the vice vid on feminism you'll get an idea of where this takes us. In short the doc actually shows where the prejudice is concentrated i.e academia
you really think that the government matters in light of the fact that the entire Government has been subverted?
Schools indoctrinate a child to become a team player. Rugby is another tool that keeps the adult in check. The individual is a pain for the political system because they have feelings, but the (team- tribe- group) can only have emotions. It's easier to decvide voters by their ideology and their emotions than it is to persuade a logical thinking intervual. Western democratic two party political system is where we start to have a conversation about how we form one culture.
As a country, we are on a very slippery slope. This is similar to what's happening in New Zealand schools. We should all be very alarmed about becoming an insular little back-water country.
What's happening in schools?
@red2775 I believe their teaching both white privilege & critical race theory
@@red2775 Critical Race Theory ...where they teach white students to be ashamed of their settler past.
if by slippery slope you mean we are now out of control at high speed and about to hit the bottom of the slope
@@iankinnell5643 oh no... I hoped we wouldn't jump on that band wagon
We need a referendum on any changes that are being proposed
This document is divisive. Its tone and intent is to drive a wedge between the peoples of New Zealand, splitting them into two groups that are redefined in the document as Pākehā and Māori. You are correct, Sean, to call out this egregious assault, not only on the news media of New Zealand, but on the people of New Zealand, and that includes Pākehā and Māori.
and they fund,the New Zealand journalism fund,which says it all
I'm a white New Zealander,will always be a white New Zealander.
@@rusty7720 yes, and if you follow the writing of people like Robin DiAngelo you discover that you've always been a white New Zealander and you've always been to blame.
Typically mass media like devisive alarming shock and awe as they make money (advertising, political redirection ~ trillions are at stake here) from it, alot of money, alot of power there to sway public attention and public opinion.
The stupidity is we cannot be divided... most of us carry dna from many races.. it is evil to try and divide us.
This is outrageous Sean Thank you for exposing it
Wake up New Zealand before it’s to late😡😡
Too.
It is past too late already
Maori absolutely ceded sovereignty:
Article 1: "The Chiefs of the Confederation of the United Tribes of New Zealand and the separate and independent Chiefs who have not become members of the Confederation cede to her Majesty the Queen of England absolutely and without reservation all the rights and powers of Sovereignty which the said Confederation or Individual Chiefs respectively exercise or possess, or may be supposed to exercise or to possess over their respective Territories as the sole sovereigns thereof."
This and the Chief's understanding of their ceding of sovereignty was borne out by the debates and speeches on the Feb 5th, 1840, before they signed the next day; and by the conference at Kohimarama in 1860, where the non-Tanui chief's discussed their concern with Tainui's Maori King movement, considering THEY HAD ALREADY CEDED SOVEREIGNTY TO THE QUEEN!
Thank you for this post, very clear and accurate. Try telling it to the radicals... neither was it a partnership with the crown.
Demonstrated both during the discussion at Waitangi and the subsequent Kohimarama conference
And of course they partitioned the King (prior to Q. Victoria) for English intervention to stop Maori killing themselves and preventing a French invasion
There should be no treaty obligations. It is one thing to offer additional funding for Maori cultural appreciation and promotion, it is another to try and control media. Jacinda is so pro Maori she is doing irreversible damage. Does NZ want to be the new South Africa? Maori have had billions in funding over the years yet no accountability of this spending, there should be an inquiry into why 40 years later Maori believe nothing has changed, and money needs to be kept back unless it’s proven to have made a difference.
Heading to being a South Pacific sh!th0le.
Well said and good points made... Maori want to hold us to account all the time... but accountability goes both ways..they should be made to account for where the proceeds of all past settlements have gone.. that would be an eye opener.. as grass roots Maori see little of any monies settled on their tribes - but the so called Elite live very fat lives at their fellow Maori and Europeans expense!
I want to watch the weather not have a Maori language lesson at the same time.
Sean, as I see it. The New Zealander that we once knew has gone. I get sick of hearing about colonialism, if Māori want to live pre colonialism let’s do it. Supermarkets, KFC, bottle stores, piped drinking water to your house, electricity, telecommunications, hospitals and transportation. Just to mention a few are terrible consequences of colonialism. We need to save all these Māori. So starting immediately all Māori to be banned from supermarkets, bottle sores, KFC, have the council remove all tap water and waste water systems. Along with that we will need teams of people to collect all the cars and iPhones laptops and iPads.
These measure’s initially may seem harsh but just think of all the Māori that will be saved from the oppressive effects of colonialism
Non colonised countries have most, if not all the things you’ve listed. It’s the standard of living that would be at question.
@@MDL.720 But that would still be up to Maori and their own Gov?
I beg to differ. If Maori had not had the benifit of being colonised New Zealand would be on a par with Papua New Guinea
Maori would still be killing eachother and eating eachother
Don't blame all Maori . Blame the people got the country into this crap. Just to name a few. Geoffery Palmer. John Keys, Willie Jackson and the Mahuta woman . These are only a few. Most done to fit there own agenda.
And the WEF would like nothing more than to cause a division in NZ and other countries around the world.
It is called control and slavery of the people by the wealthy.
That is a fact.
@@redtussock are you OK John??? You seem to be ignoring the elephant in the room... That Maori were at war with one another prior to the 1820s... some tribes preferred white man's lifestyle to a life of starvation and warring parties...
Go Sean Plunket. Love your platform.
That document is racist in its self. And which edition is this from? Sounds to me the perceived meaning of the treaty seems to change when a mood does.
I totally agree it was written by rascists Henry Williams n Governor Hobson and translated to Maori by Henry Williams son Edwin
It's disgusting and fraudulent in it's entirety and should be scrapped and all the people that benefited from it arrested posthumously including the NEW ZEALAND GOVERNMENT INCORPORATED SOCIETY IN RIGHT OF THE THEN QUEEN VICTORIA N HER SUBSEQUENT HEIRS
Very very frightened, disappointed and angry about this
As an Australian, After watching this I have grave concerns about our direction with our referendum on "The Voice " being planned in the next few years and what this will bring to Australia. We haven't got a Treaty as yet but if this is what is in store for here, I am worried.
I heard our Don Brash (the wise old head with great foresight) talking to Bolt about the "voice" and warning you all not to go down that rabbit hole! I used to believe in our treaty but after seeing how much it has been abused by the "gravy train - activists" and how much it has costs us as a country - I think we should get shot of it... if we took a referendum bet the majority would want it gone!
From Australia also same concerns research UN/government ownership once Republic proclaimed 1990 Beasley/Button in Federal Parliament.
I bet you're breathing a sigh of relief at this point.😅
The voice has been and luckily gone but don’t worry the Oz Liebour party hasn’t finished yet. They hav Aderns socialist rule book and there’s more to come. I warned all my Aussie friends of what Albanese and co would do and not to vote for them. So far I’ve been in the button and there’s still a lot more damage they can do yet
I wasn't a racist before but through this government i am becoming one rather quickly.
Nothing wrong with a good bit of healthy racism...... we all are.
That's a natural reaction when one group is favoured over all others. In Australia we are heading down the same route with "The Voice".
Funny, that's a comment that I am hearing ore and more recently.
Yes you were
nah, a lot of maori are against whats happening and a lot of pakeha support it. Skin color doesnt define you
great work sean. new zealand needs you desperately right now. Im saddened that only 13000 people have subscribed to your show
NZ is full of thick sheltered sheep that follow all msm feeds them… will take alot for kiwis to learn their lesson
thats the amount of malcontents who are making all the noise.VERY SMALL NUMBER. The rest are getting on with their life
Labour seem to be very sneaky while we're so worried about Covid & recession
this is all totally sick
An ethno state is no different from an apartheid regime.
Yeah we need to stop this crap.
Just another name for apartheid, only difference is it begins with 'e'.
You are way to polite .
These people are nuts.
stuff is stuffed
Sad days ahead for NZ .It's totally divisive. Thanks Sean
I'm not usually a fan of Sean Plunket, but he's on the money here.
Maori DID CEDE sovereignty to the English Crown and became subjects, labour is pushing a two tier people, Maori and the rest, same with councils, waipa has a maori consultation group, NOT Pakeha consultation group. They can make submissions the same as the rest. Maori are NOT INDIGENOUS to New Zealand, they are migrants . To colonise is to take over,there was nothing here to take over, an open land with a few tribes and NO form of central government,
Well it worked so well in Zimbabwe and Malaysia.
Let's not forget the Maoris took this land off the Patupairehe (I think that's how you spell it)
Maori haven't even been here for 1000 years? How are they ancestors? Any pissed off and Angry Mori Ori or attempted to apologise to them? I'm more ashamed of being part Maori in 2023 than being European.
@@melancholycollie1466 Maori came here around the 13th C, A.D,
Spot on
Divide and conquer. Same old same old.
I now refuse to watch ALL mainstream media.
I can only watch the weather on the PC channel TVNZ when Dan presents it, he speaks English not that useless gibberish rubbish, the mute button is never far from the finger tips.
I have lost respect for everything Mowri since the language change began and now do not use the ' news media' because I am not interested in their culture. At least I can pick and choose how I get information about what is going on and what matters to me! I do not own a TV or a radio of any description but I will watch channels like yours on TH-cam because we are not lied to or bamboozled with ' govt speak' Thank you helping us understand what is really going on!
Maori still have no respect for pakeha because the language that we were taught gets taken off fb because of telling the truth in English language.
That happens to any person idiot
@@johnsimon6961 You are a troubled soul John and truth be known you are more European than Maori... can you not see that together Maori & European toiled and built this land together! Every part of our history since the arrival of the European settlers we have shared together, we have gone to war together, we been through depressions and the like, and still here we are together - our blood is intermingled. We should always just be one people, equal rights in all things, equal votes, and always together going forward - like our ancestors did to continue to build a proud land for our children....
@John Simon the sore losers of the south Pacific lol.
Good on ya mate, someone get this man a beer.
I failed my teaching postgrad all because I didn't incorporate the treaty into a lesson on badminton when I had an observation 🙃 the treaty was thrown all around that postgrad and it's given me the idea that it's driving a wedge through our people.
Yes, education compliancy to treaty put me off teaching.
I think you need re education, indoctrination. Don't you know about the centuries old maori customs in playing badminton? It's the same with computer courses DNA and brain surgery. These traditions go back a long way, long before Ada Lovelace, Charles Darwin , Dr William MacEwen and Watson and Crick. You really need to embrace maori traditional knowledge in these disciplines.
@@stephenking4170 what drugs are you smoking 🤣
Wait on, you were asked to incorporate the Treaty into a badminton lesson? Can you explain a bit more?
@@stephenking4170 Ha ha .. good fun!
Ok people you know who to vote for to stop this BS.
Who are you going to vote for to stop this because I will tell you something there’s
No politicians in New Zealand Corporation that has any control over anything in New Zealand it is all controlled by the federal reserves and United Nations now you tell me who you gonna vote for
"GOD" 🙌🏼
Lol thay are all the same doesn't matter what party is in...
Labour is history of course but all other parties are not much better and I dare say that National will not undo much of Labour's BS
You will own nothing NOT EVEN your thoughts .
How dare they use our money for this without New Zealanders having a say, they have no right to do this. We have nit been asked?
Everyone needs to refuse to watch or read any mainstream media news. Simply talking about these things we have known about for a long time won't change anything...action speaks louder than words. NOTHING will change unless we act.
Better. No one at all vote at next election
First time viewing this platform, great service for the people of New Zealand 🇳🇿. Very hard to get straight talk.
I’d love to see you discuss the similarities occurring in Canada also with Viva Frei. Or anything with Viva Frei. Edit, I find the anti white separatist agenda being rolled out world wide deeply disturbing. It’s also very regressive, purposefully divisive and racist. Will Maori be asked to acknowledge and repent their white ancestors and history while embracing the brown privilege… utter clap trap.
Viva wouldn't go near Sean..He's an obnoxious charlatan. Being correct on one subject doesn't make him a journo of worth...
@@raf4992 I think it would be beneficial for everyone to have the Canadian context and the kiwi and listen to them chat. This is, to my knowledge the most free and honest kiwi independent media channel I can find. It’s got rough edges but at least it’s there and the comments aren’t switched off.
Yes I know exactly your concerns, Labour's term is nearly over, I don't think that they will get back in. The country has had enough!!
They still have almost a year to create more problems for the country. And they are actually going hell bent now doing it.
Boy I hope you are right Chris... they must not get in again as they will completely destroy the country.. hope we get it back, work on sound economics, business and trade... kick all this nonsense to the side, and lets get our country working again. We must do it!
Thank you for your truthful journalism Mr. Plunket
the art of war, distract, divide, and conquer
I can't help but wonder if that is what is going on, because this kind of division doesn't benefit anyone. Not Maori and not Pakeha. All it does is create hatred, division, anger and separation. I thought we were on the right track before all this racist BS started with our news media and government agencies and universities.
What a tragic end New Zealand has come to.
What comes into my mind is the vision of trained seals and civil war
Big talk.
Although what does civil mean?
@@kiwi32ful WOKE

You can vote for the ACT PARTY :) They are kind caring people, and really care for our beautiful country, they believe in modern muti culture New Zealand, they hard core defend our country from this racist labour party, ACT Party are the positive force to protect our democracy
You can do something. Even if it speaking out.
@@les8518 There's to much apathy in NZ now for talking to do anything. People are tired of talk and no action
Very sad to hear all of this Sean , New Zealand is in a huge slide down hill ....Scary !
You're doing good work Sean. This is madness. Where are National and Act on this?
Great piece Sean. Explains the narrative shift in media lately, where you now can be confidently identified as inherently good or inherently bad, based on your sex the colour of your skin
This is all based on a re-writing of the definitions of the Te Reo version of the Treaty. Actually to re-define one word in the Māori version of the Treaty to now claim 150 years later that Māori did not cede sovereignty - when they clearly did.. But also completely contrary to the part of the Treaty where Maori are granted all the rights and privileges of British citizenship.
This is why the academics are so keen to stress the interpretation of the Treaty. Because if you fail to reinterpret the Treaty then you fail to reach anything like the conclusions that the woke want you to reach.
It's quite amazing how few new Zealanders have actually read the Treaty. Its very short document.
Because if the vast majority of Kiwis actually read the Treaty they would dismiss all this nonsense out of hand - for the simple reason that the Treaty doesn't state or claim anything like the left wing want it to state or claim.
The other more obvious issue is that any Maori fiefdoms that may have existed 150 years ago, simply do not exist. There certainly isn't anything in the Treaty which suggests that all tax payers must fund them.
Maori didn't ceded their rights. They never really understood what they were forced to sign on. Like all the treaties the pakeha written and abused in different tribes in America, Canada and Australia. They were all documents written to decieve the indigenous people. Still going but worst by the US helped by the white countries.
Look like white people scared of the change that the Russians and the Chinese are doing now, that they can lose their supremacy and indigenous people have new rights for what's rightfully theirs, what's had been forcefully stolen from them.
@@sionefolau1509 Well for starters, in NZ the Maori were never forced to sign The Treaty so you are off to a false start already.
The Maori wanted the British to stay and trade and develop the country. The Maori wanted all the advantages of technology and education and development as well as the protection and rights of British governance. Those things were all advantages to Maori in 1840.
Those Maori chiefs were smart enough to see how much better off their future was going to be and they were correct. The whole country prospered tremendously. Maori came together and debated the pros and cons. It's utter nonsense to suggest the Maori had no clue what they were signing. That is utter fantasy. What then did they come from all over the land and what were they debating in Waitangi? and what about the dissenting views expressed at Waitangi?
We could argue that it was difficult to fully translate every word to Maori since Maori didn't have a concept of a single nation, or single law or single anything to give up, but the idea that they were clueless and had no idea what it was about is absurd.
But let's just explore your alternative universe and accept that Maori didn't cede their rights, for argument's sake. That in no way means that all the other taxpayers have to fund the agenda of a few elite Maoris today. Show me where in the treaty that Maori have the right to have their agenda and ideology paid for by all the other taxpayers?
Also let's not pretend that this would do anything for the average Maori. It is definitely just a few elites gaming the system.
Even the concept of Maori is a bit ridiculous. Why aren't we interpreting the Treaty to only apply to pure Maori? What does a 1/32 Maori have to do with a document from 1840?
In any case, after 150 years, attempts to now enforce a re-interpretation of the Treaty is nothing other than apartheid. The country and all the people have well and truly evolved into a single nation. it is simply not the same country any more. independent
A good test of Maori sovereignty would be pay back the billions of dollars of Treaty settlements that you were paid illegally as citizens from tax payers money.
@@markhoffman9655 return all the lands and pay back all the damaged and genocides they commited
@@davexb6595 Well said... Maori saw protection from utu from the Crown, their people were in poor shape and many tribes almost wiped out... it was never a partnership... why would Queen Vict. then most powerful military in the world need to go into partnership with Maori? Commonsense question! Maori were still cannibals as late as 1830's early 40's. This is all a hurtful argument for the majority of Maori who do not want any of this... they want what we all want a true democracy with equal rights in all things and an equal vote. They want to be judged on their successes not by the victim whinges of the past.
When we open our eyes👀, it's amazing what we can see. There's always alot more going on behind the scenes than what we are shown.
Can I tell you a story. In the days of Robt Muldoon/National Govt - he "needed a distraction" due to NZ economic issues - and he "pushed" for the South African Rugby Team to visit NZ/ to which he was advised (by Police) it would not be a good move - as history now shows - the interesting fact, is many Kiwi's looked forward to the visit and stood in silent limbo watching what unfolded, not comprehending, BUT made "under their breath" vocal noise - not that it did any good. Regretfully our fellow Countrymen/women have consistently failed to open "eyes" (we are distracted by 'events' e.g. International yachting/Rugby/ live Rock concerts) - read the comments here - will they be taken any further??
As there are no full-blooded Maori living today, how does this change the special status for Maori. Isn't this effectively double dipping? I hope we can back out of this leftwing b/s? Will National have the guts to reverse this ridiculous nonsense.
They all Identify as Maori even though they're not actually.
National like Labour is finished in New Zealand. They selling the people out.
Im 80% NZ Maori according to my DNA ?
And im 100% straw number used by the NZ government
Congratulations straw people
Good work Sean, please carry on.
I have read on radio nz that Maori will be able to go to conservation areas and eat the wild life ( I assume birds) Not happy at all. Has kfc run out of chicken? The wildlife has enough problems with all the introduced animals.
Im going to have to register as a Descendant to pretty much take advantage of that. I'm going to make another species extinct in my Grass Skirt because I hate my coloniser Maori Heritage. Gosh Grandad Wiremu shouldn't have taken on the Scottish wife as a peace offering. This country needs to Unite and get with the times, then stop gaslighting us for existing the way we do.
Riding along on my bike, started to listen to you explain this paper from New Zealand. on Air
I am outraged this is shocking thank you for this I need to have a very clear understanding from Act and National this garbage will be binned
Not national, they are the woke brigade in their own right. ACT may be NZs only hope.
@@vumba1331 My thoughts exactly. Voted for National for years. I am sure as hell not going to this time. What's to lose except our freedom by not changing and going with the same old crap from the two major parties.
@@Aldoor That is sensible and logical.
Hi Sean, RESPECT for bringing this out to the public, this is so shocking and toxic. Once National and ACT get voted in, all of this racism from labour party and certain racist maori will be weaken, and left in history, as with new government we can all move forward into the future, to bring all cultures and religions of New Zealand together as one people as kiwis :) To enjoy our beautiful country, everyone to be treated equal, and embrace happiness, (the certain racist maori and labour party can be left to primitive thinking, ideology, no more toxic treaty) The rest of New Zealanders can move forward with future times :)
No, of they get voted in, the accusations of racism from parties like labour and the greens, not to mention literal ethno-nationalist parties like the maori party will explode.
Brilliantly reported by you Sean.
What can we do though I will vote ACT at the next election but I still wonder in the back of my mind if it will be a waisted vote as the woke society is very strong I am the same age as you Sean and just holding out till retirement day I get called racist just because I speak like you do if your good for the job or you are in general just a good human being I have no problems with you being in the position that you are in but not because of race alone
I have recently found The Plateform, thank you Sean for doing what you are doing! Loving the platform and downloaded the app! Keep up the great work!
All this is going to make platform more popular. You can look forward to growing
If we want to live in an inclusive society in New Zealand, (a democracy),one person one vote,then we must repeal the Treaty out of New Zealand law and firmly deposit in the History books .
I'm am beginning to believe you are right... I never felt this way before as I was proud of our treaty, but it has been so hijacked by the gravy train activists (who have got very fat off doing so) and now I have come to a point where the treaty must be left in the past or scraped.
If they want their own from of governance fine I'd like to see how they would go funding it themselves
This only Willie Jackson and his few causing all this.
Shared this on facebook too Sean.
Hi Sean. I need not comment as it is being said loud and clear by the comments already posted. Go for it Sean.👍
There was never "Maori Sovereignty" just a number of tribes intermittently fighting each other. After the Musket Wars so many Maori were killed that by 1840 the Maori population had shrunk to an estimated 70 000. The "treaty was drawn up by the ailing Hobson without the benefit of a lawyer and (badly) translated into Maori by the local missionary and his son. Not all tribes were present when it was signed. It purpose, now obsolete, was to prevent the French from annexing part of the South Island, and to stop the Musket Wars. We now need a proper constitution with equal rights and obligations for all citizens to become a functioning modern democracy, with a Government that must seek a fresh mandate from all the voters every three years. No part of governance should be exempt from seeking mandates from the governed
So True
During the nine months I spent travelling in New Zealand from 1994 - 5, I visited Christchurch museum. Among the exhibits I discovered two artefacts dating from the Musket wars: one was a trade hatchet and the other was a sawn- off shotgun: 'Tupara' (two-barrelled) in Maori. According to the information appended below these exhibits, these two items purchased from European traders and used as weapons had been largely responsible for the deaths of well in excess of fifty thousand Maori men, women and children slaughtered during the internicine tribal warfare conducted by the Maori tribes of (mainly) North Island.
So, any idea that, somehow, 'Aotearoa' (and it might be interesting - given the Maori tribes' lack of any concept of the land they had conquered from their predecessors - the Moriori - who were - in the most literal sense - 'eaten out of house, home - and bodies' - by the invading Maori tribes - to speculate on just how long the Maori concept of 'Aotearoa' - as the name for the two islands which constitute what the vast majority of present-day 'Pakeha' - non- Maori, and, effectively, everyone in the world residing outside New Zealand - has existed.
(To continue my comment):.So, any idea that, somehow or other, 'Aotearoa' (etc...) was - prior to the advent of the first European settlers at the beginning of the 19th Century - some kind of Antipodean 'Wakanda': some kind of earthly paradise in which the native indigenous Maori lived in perfect harmony with nature - and each other - was as delusional as the 'Woke' Hollywood fantasy created as a means of attempting to create the illusion of some 'Golden Age' of indigenous Black 'civilisation' which existed in Africa prior to being swept away - 'Gone with the Wind'-of-Change' - as a result of the depredations of evil white European settlers.
Yes they’re trying to cover this up by removing all the early history books, early history Kaikoura, that Te Raupraha and his lads from Kapiti island took up to 6000 lives off the limestone cliffs in 1 morning this was pre European but still talked by Maori
@@petergleave7807 I bet that exhibit doesn't exist anymore. It will have been replaced with some modern rewrite of history that is flattering to Maori and paints European migrants as rapists and greedy thieves
Go Sean, straighten the crooks up ; ) Marty
We have reverse racism in NZ. 10% of the population drives 100% of our culture. First Nations have a place but should not blanket our whole society which it is now. All mainstream media advertising concentrates on Maori. We live in NZ have family and children, who decided my family is whanau, my children tamariki and my country is Aotearoa? I am really truly sorry but I am not Maori and am over having it forced down my throat.
Also NZ families are almost entirely comprised of a white wife and a maori husband... I never knew this until I watched kiwi advertising
@Overover every race has been obsessed with European women since they first encountered them.
And honestly, can you blame them? Lol
Wow I loved how you said you had obligations to the truth. So many news media have forgotten this.
Pre European Maori had no comprehension of : books, writing, a cohesive society, a common language, agriculture, land ownership, democracy, metalurgy, individual freedom etc etc. After the anihilation of the moa their main source of protein was seals, shell fish, and each other. They were in fact one of the last remaining stone age cultures- with all of the discomforts associated with living a crude, uncomfortable life. They lived in fear of each other and the vindictive spirits which were seen as surrounding them.Their primary cause of death was by violence or dental carries (the rotting away of the jaw due to dental decay). It's time the fallacy of a cohesive, peaceful, idylic existence was laid to rest once and for all. Is it any wonder that they wanted to join with the colonists and create a better existence for them selves. Two hundred years into the joint partnership some of them are denying their ancestors desires and literally turning around and shitting on the rest of us. It's time that the truth was recognised, the craziness stopped and we all got on with living together as one, in the place we all love- or used to. All of the "sensible" ones I have personally been in contact with have been good honest people. The, thankfully, few elites and maladjusted ones are the problem. It's time that us, and especially, the huge majority of "real" Maori, recognised the truth and got rid of this woke, tokenistic hijacking of their unique culture once and for all.
Well said. Life for women and children prior to european arrival must have been very hard indeed, if todays behaviour is anything to go by.
Don't forget the Maori genocide of the Moriori - that always gets swept under the woke carpet
@@markhoffman9655 Not only the Moriori, they were genocidal to others of their own race but different tribes. Look what happened when those up north got guns and when on a rampage against the other tribes, absolute mayhem and slaughter.
Well said.
Totally agree
Thanks for bringing our attention to this Sean its another wedge in the gap to divide New Zealand into two cultures
I thought as much when I'm watching paddy gower it seems to follow a narrative
Paddy Gower is an a#*e liking biased fame grabber
The treaty as being 'interpreted' in this day and age has absolutely NO correlation as to what was actually written. Time to put a match to it and move on.
Not much will change with Luxon and National at the helm…..Luxon is woke thru and thu and will be John Key 2.0…..He’s learning Te Reo y’a know 😉
A bloody NINO, National In Name Only.
Nothing wrong with learning Te Reo, doesn’t make you an idiot or anything, just a language
That is why I am voting ACT rather than National again.
@@danieljames4584 That is all well and good if you want to. Most of us don't yet it is being forced on us.
@@Aldoor act still need national unfortunately
Goodness !! Coming from most other sources, this'd be swiftly swatted as a Conspiracy Theory....
We're in big trouble... in case it wasn't yet clear !!!
I have discovered The Platform and I am so happy that there are people out there who have the same views as me. I see all of what you have discussed today and I am scared of what could come. I don't watch tv 1 anymore as they are woke especially the breakfast. Police Ten 7 also has changed as to what crimes they report on. Yes there used to be a lot of Maori stories but not much anymore. I will be following you all from now on. Kind Regards Liz Bramble
We desperately need a clean out of the public service
Thank you my Friend 🙏
As you know , I have been saying this for sometime now ,
MAKE NO MISTAKE ,
TRUTH and JUSTICE WILL PREVAIL ⚔️🕊️😛
CRT - Maori Style.
As soon as they started discriminating our education in race based off of white oppressing maori and this in itself isn't true. So this in itself is passive crt and many of us kids dealt with a lot of lies and racism for the past 40 years in poorer mixed race communities in mixed race nz families. These people need to understand the treaty was to treat everyone equally and all of our ancestors respectfully. I am sick of the lies and abuse towards nz families by these people who got themselves in power with these racist scholarships and grooming with lies. We just do not segregate our own families and this should never have been accepted. I look forward to jacinda being out and this racist bullsh1t out of it
The moment they push this on my already Maori kids, I'm home schooling.
@@melancholycollie1466 they've already been pushing this idea culturally for generations unfortunately. They have been lying to british maori and people descended of colonials for generations. My irish/english grandfather was raised in a shed in hay beds, 1 pair of shoes, very little belongings, his mother died of a bee sting because there were no doctors around, he then was drafted into a horrific war because of other brainwashed hateful ideas, he was fluent in maori, a lot of maori werent interested in speaking maori because they were just also british. What they are doing casually using the words colonials,pakeha,the white man and while segregating our families and races in education and demoralising people is treating any europeans in this country descended of colonials abhorrently. My grandfather was english/irish born in nz in an actual inclusive time not micro managed by govts and culture police. My great great grandfather was scottish and was fluent in maori, gaelic and english and taught at whirinaki native schools and was adored by the chiefs so much they wanted to swap children. But as that wasnt apart of scottish culture they accepted names for their children of tautari (the chiefs name) and hinemoa. They did not oppress any language at any time. I am sick of lies about my families pasts being told by racists into schools culturally put there for british people originally. Imagine if the govt came into the maraes and started saying that they had to make sure that they taught all your kids they were evil cannibals for the treaty when they just weren't. It's so culturally inappropriate and inappropriate of the govt if lead appropriately and it's just abusive and full of hateful lies. They are turning the maori culture into a hateful lying culture in with jacinda ardern and her people's leadership. This behaviour of dehumanising and lying about people and using antiquated terms such as pakeha referring to skin doesn't work in a modern day nz, does not reflect what our people referred to themselves as and is very similar to what the nazis did to Jewish people using propaghanda by talking about thrm ignorantly. If we want to empower and respect ourselves and our kids we shouldnt accept this constant talking about skin in either maori or english and just repeating hateful bullsh1t as part of any culture. A lot of culturally inappropriate things are being done to all of our cultures when these things should not be used to lie and abuse all our families. Also maybe we can make our own school with the stories they used to tell of the unities and achievements to empower all of our children and make them all great people. No one should be labelled a criminal in the present to take millions of everyones money to give to a few nzers. A lot of poor people made up nz colonials and they were told their were houses etc by msori and british authorities to get them to leave their lives behind but these people weren't slaves, something had to be given in return. All the abuse and reparations from all nzers taxes when this should've come from England or wherever, not nzers tax money, has turned our poor ancestors into nothing but slaves
I look forward to your interview with Luxton & Seymour
Thankyou Sean for saying this you are a light bearer for the future.
Maybe all other races that live in New Zealand stop paying taxes as we don't count, let the Maori support themselves
There's more Asians in NZ at the moment then pure Maoris, why not have one for our Asian friends lol
there are no pure blood Maoris left
Because Asians are considered much like us White People all privileged, entitled, and having easy lives
The only time they get any right to cry foul is if some White Person abuses/attacks them
@@robmort67 , not many pure aryan pakeha either come to that, even I am a sort of mongrel!!
@@banjopete I'm a Filippino, Scottish, Welsh, Maori. I'm totally confused as to what to do with myself.
Excellent piece Sean.
Thank you for your Platform. It's so refreshing to hear the truth instead of this woke nonsense on stilts!!
WOW Sean, I didn't actually think you had it in you. Well done, finally saying it how it is. I might even have to let 'The Platform ' back into my feed after cancelling sometime ago.
Well done 👍
Listen to Jacinda when she says *_"be kind"_* (of stupid and just do what we say without question or challenge)
Yeah she says be kind while calling another MP an arrogant prick 🤔
It's Narcissistic of her fake Empathy
peaceful protest are behind us, its time for some real action, comon patriots where are you?
@@stephaniekent8483 Hahaha... fancy meeting you here 😀
@@xjet indeed haha
Thank you and well done.... keep up your good work. We have no true journalist left in NZ (other than yourself) and you are the only voice we have.
150.5 MILLION COULD GO A LONG WAY TO HOUSING THE HOMELESS,
Please keep trying to bring some of these authors to the surface so that they can explain to us all exactly WTF is going through their minds!
"People of the land"?
Didn't maori come to NZ by boat?, and didn't they meet the Moriori people when they arrived? Asking as i have heard many differing views.
I think the rest of us shouldn't apologise to Maori until they apologise to the Mori Ori. Otherwise they can suck eggs. I'm part Maori and my husband is half Maori and we think this is all actually stupid.
The Moriori are not a separate race than maori they are one & the same nor were they scattered all over nz. Their descendants are alive today lol
The Moriori lived on the Chatam Islands, they used to come to the mainland for resources, that's where they made contact with the Maoris, the Maoris obviously wanted to kill them lol, they couldn't catch them nor were they able to chase down their canoes lol, Maoris didn't even know where the Chatams were until Cook pointed out the direction... Great story about when they (Maoris) finally went to the Chatams to enslave them. 😀
Awsome Sean....thanks for great honest reporting
We are all New Zealand aren’t we.if we are going to have 2 separate systems then the Māori tax payers will need to funding it
Totally agree with your comment. We have been so divided under
Labour
I agree we are separate people, Maori have defined their own world and gone to war with us, in return I am pulling all my money out of New Zealand.
Yep and for 3 years I have not paid taxes or fines because maori are being given too much money for fraud past in fact they should be all arrested for their ancestral crimes
