MAORI WARD REFERENDUM
R A said > When election by councillors was first mooted, quite a few expressed opposition to maori wards.
Many were/are very aware of the motivation and application reservations as expressed by Stephen Franks.
Then they saw how te ao/tikanga utu was ruthlessly applied and the objectors hammered.
It became obvious that any objector would find it impossible to work with maori members, pro maori indoctrinated staff (ie now near all) any external maori groups etc. So Councillor support became general.
With voting by the public, councillors will be spared the hypocrisy of having for fear of cancellation to vote contrary to their true soundly based views.
