PROVIDING A MĀORI PERSPECTIVE ON WELLBEINGTe Puni Kōkiri, in collaboration with the Treasury, is proud to release a discussion paper that provides a Māori perspective on the Living Standards Framework. Te Puni Kōkiri Chief Executive Michelle Hippolite believes “a radical shift in the conversation about wellbeing is needed if we are truly to achieve intergenerational wellbeing for Māori and all New Zealanders in the future”. An Indigenous Approach to the Living Standards Framework is part of a suite of discussion papers published on the Treasury website to stimulate conversations about how to better support intergenerational wellbeing and raise living standards. “Māori have their own understanding of intergenerational wellbeing that draws on cultural values, beliefs, social norms and indigenous knowledge”, says Mrs Hippolite....... www.scoop.co.nz/stories/PO1902/S00075/providing-a-maori-perspective-on-wellbeing.htm

What a load of BS. The maori view on wellbeing pre 1800 was ....kill or be killed in times of never-ending tribal warfare. Life expectancy early 30's. Women raped and treated as baby machines. Cannibalism and slavery were also part of this "view". The concepts of mercy and conservation were alien. And sadly, a woman teacher friend tells me that rape on the marae is as common as undersized crayfish and pauas. She has tried to get the media to do an undercover expose on this, but she must've forgotten, this is NZ and the truth can be regarded as racist and hate speech. Young maori girls can not complain when raped by a "respected" elder. The girls tell her this in confidence before and during their suicidal phase, until it becomes the norm. And of course, she is so terrified that her name gets out because in NZ, telling the truth that flies in the face of the new rewritten "culture" could get her sacked. Oh, and BTW....maori are NOT indigenous.
