UNWINDING LABOUR’S AGENDA
And when it comes to the Treaty of Waitangi – or ‘te Tiriti o Waitangi’ as they like to call it – Professor Raine describes how it has been weaponised: “In New Zealand, CSJ politics have been demonstrated through the universities declaring themselves te Tiriti-led and incorporating Te Ao Maori as a dominant culture. This situation has caused a de facto politicisation of the sector, and the introduction within science programmes of matauranga Maori courses (to become mandatory in 2025 in at least one university) is moving these institutions away from open inquiry and debate to places where some taught material that includes aspects of myth, vitalism, and animism, cannot be questioned. Such an environment leads to a culture of indoctrination, which should have no place in a university.”
To understand how this radicalised Treaty agenda has been forced onto our universities, we need to cast our minds back to 2018, when the Ardern Labour Government established the Office for Maori Crown Relations. In the Cabinet paper setting up the agency, the Minister Kelvin Davis signalled that it would empower iwi to effectively co-govern the country: “I expect people will ask how the Iwi Chairs Forum fits within the new engagement framework. The type of relationship being sought by the Forum appears to be one where the government recognises the Forum as a Treaty partner with equal decision-making rights.”
And that’s how it rolled out. Labour’s aim was to transform the public service to deliver the empowerment of iwi along with their other social justice objectives.
A search of the legislation that regulates the education sector, the Education and Training Act 2020, for key terms associated with Labour’s ideological agenda reveals “diversity” is mentioned 15 times, “inclusion” once, “equity” 6 times, “Waitangi” 39 times, and “Maori” 205 times!
In other words, as a result of the Office for Maori Crown Relations facilitating a partnership with iwi leaders, the education system has been re-prioritised to deliver race-based indoctrination. As a result, the focus is now on Maori rights, Maori language, and Maori culture – with Matauranga or Maori ‘knowledge’ described as science, Tikanga or Maori custom described as law, and Te Ao Maori or a Maori world view dominating.....
