FAMILY'S ACHIEVEMENT AN INSPIRATION THAT SHATTERS A GENERATIONAL NEGATIVE MINDSET
“All these Government-funded courses teaching Maori culture, Pacific values, higher self-esteem, Tania Webb and her partner could eject in a one-hour presentation telling it like it is. That household budgeting and self-discipline are absolute requirements. That not continuing the cycle creates a virtuous, rewarding new cycle, that not picking up the pitiful, we're victims mantra means do-ies, not huis.
All the conferences in the world on indigenous issues have not put a single one in their own home. (Well, maybe flasher houses for the corpulent elite.) All the handouts, the pandering to the notion that brown people need first and foremost their cultural identity before they need to know how to budget, how to get on the property ladder, achieves nothing.
By all means have a cultural identity.....”
