THE NEW FACE OF AUTHORITARIANISM
The divisions that Jacinda Ardern has introduce under the guise of unity are now well entrenched, particularly on race.
An article in the Herald last month by senior political journalist Audrey Young provides an insight into how this has happened.
The Office for Maori Crown Relations was established in collaboration with Iwi Leaders in 2018 as an agency to oversee the Government’s work with Maori in a post-Treaty settlement era. Since the agency was asked by the Minister, Kelvin Davis, to operate “under the radar”, most people are completely unaware of the corrupting influence it is having on New Zealand culture.
With a primary goal of helping the Government to become a better Treaty partner, the agency has developed a “Maori Crown Relations Capability Framework”, which enables public service chief executives to establish Treaty partnership protocols and comprehensive cultural change targets for staff: “All public servants have to be attuned to the needs of Maori as Treaty partners.”
Even more sinister is the veto right the agency has over Government policy: “In 2019 the Cabinet Office issued a new circular for all ministers and chief executives to apply whenever new policy is being developed, to ensure it is compliant with the Treaty.”
Through this Office, New Zealand is rapidly being turned into a nation where a Maori world view is the only one that matters.
Those who work for the Government, must comply with Maori cultural requirements as a condition of their employment, and all new Government policies now have dominant Treaty partnership and Maori cultural requirements built into them.
At local government level, the strong arm of central government is evident in a new standing orders template that requires councils to establish what are in effect co-governance arrangements with local Maori: “Iwi and hapu have a mandate based on their role as the indigenous governors of the land… An agreement could include… Mechanisms for ensuring that papers and advice going to meetings incorporates the views and aspirations of mana whenua. Such mechanisms might include the co-design and co-production of policy…”
Even private organisations like Playcentre are now controlled by Maori, with the Otago Daily Times reporting that a recent vote to change the constitution, that was supported by 366 out of 400 branches was overturned, because only 4 out of six Maori branches agreed to the change, and five out of six were needed for a consensus. Effectively, this means that under their co-governance arrangement, those two Maori votes in opposition, were able to veto 366 votes in favour.
Meanwhile in Parliament last week, Kelvin Davis, the Minister for Children, revealed that Maori MPs who disagree with Labour’s separatist agenda are considered by the Government to be ‘not Maori enough’.....
