Point of Order: WHY ASIANS COULD MAKE A STRONGER CASE THAN MĀORI TO BE GIVEN SEATS ON THE AUCKLAND COUNCIL
Leonard hoped to see more submissions from Māori before consultation ends on 26 October.
She was not reported as saying she wanted to see more submissions from non-Maori.
Especially Asians.
Point of Order mentions the implications for Asians because they account for around 29 per cent of Auckland’s population.
In the 2018 census 181,194 people identified as being of Māori ethnicity, which is just 12 per cent of the city’s population.
Pacific people accounted for 16 per cent of Auckland’s population in 2018.
Has anyone proposed special Asian seats or Pacific seats – and if not, why not?
