The following is a template letter/email that New Zealand citizens can use to oppose the forcing of race-based wards, please take the opportunity (Copy & Paste) and send it to MPs.
******************************************
Date & Address if appropriate
Dear (insert MP’s name),
The Green Party’s Marama Davidson is calling for the Government to facilitate the forcing of race-based wards on New Zealanders. This concerns me greatly because:
1] It is born out of a dictatorial and racist ideology.
2] It ignores the egalitarian wishes of “the people”.
3] It is condescending towards all those of Maori descent.
4] It disregards healthy human psychology.
5] It ignores the facts.
As MP Ron Mark said in his speech in Parliament (28/6/17), this approach presupposes that all those with any Maori blood are the same and think alike. It also presupposes they are incapable of achieving on their own merits or abilities.
Well, we all know that that is simply not true. We are surrounded by people of Maori descent who have shown they have the attitude, ability and fortitude to have a good and successful life without race-based laws greasing their paths. None of them have relied on racist policies.
Ron Mark rightly says that any discussion about Maori representation would need to start with the question “which Maori”? As a New Zealander with Maori blood, the ex-mayor of Carterton (2 terms) and a long-standing MP, he is living proof that we don’t need apartheid in local government or anywhere else.
Marama Davidson is very good at twisting semantics to imply she is doing God’s work, but her ideology only serves a power-hungry elite. It does nothing to help ordinary people struggling with everyday challenges.
So please think of all New Zealanders and ignore the calls for legalising racism. Ensuring equal rights is the job of government. It is then up to us, our families and society to work for good outcomes.
Yours sincerely,
(Your name)
