MICHAEL COOTE for Auckland City Mayor
CANDIDATE PROFILE STATEMENT
My principal place of residence is in the Auckland Council area. I am also standing for the Waitākere Ward, Henderson-Massey Local Board.
Multi-ethnic, multi-cultural Auckland City must be a society of strict racial equality for all. Auckland Council must respect this fundamental principle of modern liberal democratic civilisation. There is no justice in Auckland Council granting, enabling or facilitating special rights and privileges, or providing separatist treatment, for any part of Auckland's diverse community on the basis of racial or ethnic affiliation. For example, Auckland Council's plans, policies, procedures and structures should not discriminate in favour of Maori members of the community over any others, but should apply equal status, validity and opportunity to all Aucklanders as residents and ratepayers. Any aspect of Auckland Council which does not conform with racial egalitarianism should be abolished, as too should be entities such as the Independent Maori Statutory Board, which places voting members on Auckland Council committees who are unelected by the general public. If you agree, please vote for Michael Coote.
WHY ARE YOU STANDING FOR THIS POSITION?
I am standing for the Mayoralty in order to promote the cause of strict racial equality in all of the ways in which Auckland Council deals with the inhabitants of Auckland. It is not acceptable that Auckland Council should privilege or provide special treatment for one or more ethnic groups over any others who live in the city. A modern, enlightened, multi-racial city like Auckland must respect racial equality as a non-negotiable foundational value.
WHAT DO YOU LOVE MOST ABOUT THE AREA YOU ARE SEEKING TO REPRESENT?
Auckland has the realistic potential to be one of the great cities of the world, and possesses many of the essential requirements to achieve that end. However, one thing Auckland Council needs to do is end its existing racially discriminatory practices associated with singling out one racial minority from all others for special treatment, different status, and superior rights over all other Aucklanders who are not of that same minority.
WHAT WILL YOUR PRIORITIES BE IF YOU'RE ELECTED?
My priorities would centre on entrenching racial equality and removing racial discrimination root and branch at every level of Auckland Council without exception .
