NON-MAORI BEING LED DOWN GARDEN PATH
B C writes > The $50 billion Maori Industry has been mainly built up over the past 20 year or less using tax payer funded TOW payments and land transfer.
These payments, land transfer made to Iwi Settlement Trusts. They in turn run multi million dollar companies which in turn make contributions to Iwi Charitable Trusts which minimizes taxation (the taxation laws state the legal taxation required but ends up being very little to zero).
Searching through these Charitable Trusts annual reports show that re-distribution of these funds is paid lip service to a few bursaries and beneficiary distributions but amounts to "F all" compared to company incomes.
The entire Political situation is built up for one purpose. Transfer as much money, land and control to Iwi and continue to market the "made up maori" population as destitute so more money can be handed out as upkeep.
Maori people are not really a benefactor. It is the Tribal Trusts control the asset value, have the ability to control resources through RMA and other govt. authorities and control policy through these authorities and Co-governance legislation that guarantees veto power over any legislation that is not giving tribes the upper hand.
Govt and Local bodies also preferentially allow contracts to tribal groups without a fair tender process as most non maori companies cannot claim they have Maori values etc. at their heart.
We "others" have been led down the garden path by successive governments and maoricentric mayors to the stage where we are now the financiers to all tribal wants.
