WINSTON PETERS SPEECH – Blenheim, Sunday 28th May 2023
(Excerpt)
You have cause enough for alarm already. But something even more sinister is now in our country. It is the idea of a small elite, that New Zealand should not have one government, but effectively two. One based on one race, the other based on the rest of us. And that there should be two standards of democracy so that it is no longer going to be one person, one vote, and each vote of the same value, but one race having a vote of far greater value than all the rest. We even had a Maori Party politician recently thinking he was clever saying that people had two votes. So he said that votes of different value was a fact already. He couldn’t even intellectually grasp that MMP is where you have, alongside all others on the electoral roll, one vote for a constituent MP, and then alongside all others, one vote for the political party of your choice. And the cacophony of journalists interviewing him never even pointed out to him the fallacy of his claim - or didn’t they understand it themselves?
If these people are allowed to prevail in politics then the mass majority of New Zealanders, possibly as high as 98% are simply going to be worse off. And that includes the mass majority with some Maori in their DNA, in whose name and trumped up numbers, a group of elite Maori and their fellow travellers are making these outrageous demands.
They're demanding nigh on a billion dollars extra a year alone for policies where race decides the expenditure whilst at the same time utterly ignoring the four critical things that Maori want from Invercargill to Kaitaia - that is:
A safe affordable house Quick access to a good health system Wide access to educational training First world jobs
These four things that Maori want is what everyone in New Zealand wants. But these essential needs barely cross the minds of these radicals.
Willie Jackson said this last week following the budget "we’ve got the 'by Maori', 'for Maori' Budget. But let's not forget most Maori are not attached to our Maori organisations."
To paraphrase President Lincoln, they are "of the people", but they are not "for the people".
These elitists in the Maori world survive with their unreasonable demands because very few are prepared to challenge the ethnic construction behind their demands.
In 1975 to be on the Maori roll one had to be half Maori or more. Since the Labour law change in 1975 that requirement has been diluted so that all you have to do to get on the Maori roll is to recite a Maori ancestor. That means, you can claim to be a Maori, if you are just 1/8th or 1/64th Maori. Or at its ‘impurest’ just 1/512th.
And here are the facts. The mass majority of Maori, by the very definition that these Maori radicals and fellow travellers demand, are not on the Maori Electoral roll but the General Electoral role. The ordinary Maori has been utterly ignored and is not served by this Maori elite. Willie Jackson after last Thursday's budget just admitted that.
Moreover, when people claim that Maori are 17% of the population, they are simply involving themselves in ethnic luddite nonsense. By the 1975 definition, Maori are not even 7% of the population.
But yesterday MP Debbie Narawa Packer claimed that one in five, or twentry percent, of people in New Zealand are Maori.
In the New Zealand First Party, we've had a greater percentage of people in parliament over the last thirty years of Maori or Pacific extraction than any other political party. But we in New Zealand First regard ourselves, whatever our background, as New Zealanders First and foremost. In short, we don’t rat on our "other heritage" whatever it might be, whether its English, Irish, Welsh, Scotts, Croatian, or Asian. We encourage our people to be proud of all their heritage, for while it is who you are, it is not what you are.
Ladies and gentlemen, all manner of demands are being made by these radicals and apologists. They want co-government. They want a separate health system. They want a separate legal system. They want a separate education system. They want a separate prison system, to name just a few.
To get there they have to "re-write the Treaty of Waitangi" to conform to their view of history and their wishes. In doing so, the extremist claims they are making are ridiculous against the canvas of history. They claim the treaty of waitangi was a "Contract of Equality". There was a clause in the treaty about us all thereafter being equal. But where did this concept of "Contract" come from? The Maori chiefs in 1840 ceded sovereignty to the Crown. The Crown was never in partnership with the people of the UK on the 6th February 1840, or anybody in the UK or New Zealand the day after.
So it's clear, to get their way, these radicals have to convince you that their version of the treaty is right and the views of such Maori scholars such as Sir Apirana Ngata are wrong. That all NZers after the 6th Feb 1840 comprised two groups. Maori and then the rest of us.
Ninety-nine percent of New Zealand doesn’t know what's going on here. They don’t know that the Justice Department is denying promotion to the next pay band unless staff do a Maori language course first. The same goes for the Health Department. And now it's creeping into all other deparments without any public announcement by any Minister that this is happening.
If you're a real estate agent, then you are being told that a module in te reo Maori must be completed by you by the 31st of December. Notice the words "must". Refuse and when your licence comes up for renewal in January, you could be banned for the next five years. These people have their livelihoods threatened by a bunch of gaslighting goblins in the civil service seemingly answerable to no one, and who all think they know what you need better than you do.
Recently Casey Costello wrote to a number of Ministers seeking their definition of ‘racisim’. This was an important inquiry because the government is spending an enormous amount of time and your money on ‘anti racism’ programmes. The Human Rights Commision replied that they didn’t have a single agreed definition, the Race Relations Commissioner did not reply, fourteen ministers simply would not answer the question, three referred it to their ministries, and one discussed the Human Rights Commision definition - even though the Commission stated they didn’t have an agreed definition.
The Ministries and government departments are now riddled with Treaty of Waitangi requirements, all dreamed up by a covert secret inner group of politicians and bureaucrats. They operate on the pandora principle - which simply is, once their extremist interpretations are in place you won't be able to do a thing about it.
Have a look at the comical name for New Zealand Transport Authority - Waka Kotahi. That means a ‘boat on the road’. Air New Zealand now claims that their service is a ‘waka’ or ‘boat’ in the sky. Everywhere there is this imposition of a language which ninety percent plus don’t readily understand. The purpose of communications is understanding, but these people are using taxpayers' money without any regard to what the mass bulk of the population, which includes the majority with some Maori in them, not understanding what the gaslighting goblins are talking about.
Ladies and gentlemen, in the 1850s there was an "I Know Nothing" Party in the United States. Members of that group were required to say "I know nothing" when asked about specifics of their party by outsiders.
We have that movement in our country now, in government, in government agencies and in the bureaucracy.
When challenged to explain what is their definition of racism which is driving so much of their separatist agenda, they have, as Casey Costello has proven, resorted to claiming to have no knowledge or definition of what racism is.
Ladies and gentlemen, we all have to decide in this campaign whether we believe freedom is worth fighting for, whether truth should prevail over deceit, and whether common sense triumphs over extremism.
We have to decide that this indoctrination, without any mandate from you, but paid for by you, is going to stop. We have to have the courage to face these social manipulators and politicians down.
On these critical matters for our future social cohesion, please look at the record of politicians and political parties in this campaign.....
