TIME TO ACT! - John Bell
As a wave of woke Maorification has broken over the country in the past three years, my Otautahi / Tuhura experience and my reaction to it have been repeated up and down the country. It is no exaggeration to claim that imposed Maorification has given rise to a mood of suppressed fury on the part of a great many New Zealanders. That fury has been turning into a blend of rage and despair as it has become apparent that the manipulation of terminology and day-to-day expressions has had nothing to do with the preservation of an ailing language but everything to do with grooming an entire population to accept the pre-eminence of one cultural tradition and thus the growing political authority of those who claim the right to represent, interpret and act in the name of that cultural tradition. We have now had a glimpse of where we have been heading, we know what co-governance looks like and we know where it will take us if the agenda that under-pins it is not brought to an end.
The election of a new government and details of the coalition agreements that National have had no alternative but to sign up to give cause for hope. Even before the coalition talks had concluded, Willie Jackson , John Tamihere and others showed that they understood that resistance to their planned takeover had finally arrived, and Tukuroirangi Morgan’s outburst in response to details of the coalition agreements confirms that he and his associates have been intent on gaining power and privilege purely on the basis of having the right ancestors.
The big question that now confronts NZCPR readers and those who support kindred organisations is: Can we afford to leave it to a handful of ACT and NZ First MPs to defeat a powerful, well-supported agenda that has penetrated our legal system, our educational institutions, our mainstream media and our national and local body bureaucracies, or should we be organising practical support? To which the obvious answers are: NO we can’t, and YES we should.....
