New Zealand: Thousands protest in Wellington over Māori bill

Protesters have converged in the New Zealand's capital in protest of a bill which would reinterpret a 184-year treaty with the Māori people.
www.bbc.co.uk

  • Thousands of people in New Zealand have gathered to protest against a contentious bill that they say will redefine the country's founding treaty with the Māori people
  • Many of them have walked hundreds of kilometres to reach parliament house in the capital Wellington, as part of a nine-day hīkoi - or peaceful protest march
  • The bill seeks to reinterpret the 184-year-old Treaty of Waitangi between British colonisers and Māori people
  • The bill's proponents say it will enable New Zealanders to have the same rights as Māori people, while critics say the bill would undermine the rights of indigenous people
  • Although the bill is unlikely to pass, as it lacks support from some of the government's coalition partners, critics say it still risks upsetting race relations

Any New Zealanders in here able to give some more detail on the sentiments of the protesters?

Obviously identitarianism is a big deal right now on Sherdog, but should indigenous people have more/the same rights as non-indigenous people (former immigrants)?
 
Damn, regular kiwis doesn't have the same rights? What are we talking about here?

Btw, maori people are some of the best in the world, met so many nice maoris when I was in NZ.

I don't know, but I'm sure someone is pushing some white guilt rent seeking scam bullshit and that needs to stop.
 
I've lived in NZ a few times and have Kiwi citizenship, as well as Pommie, and Aussie. A large part of my childhood was in NZ.

I wish people would understand, the Maori are NOT indigenous to NZ! I'm sure most people think they are, because that is how they are presented to the world. I also wouldn't be surprized if lots of Maori children are brought up these days being told they are indigenous.
Yes, the Poms colonized NZ. However, much earlier, the Maori arrived from Polynesia and colonised the country, and 'dealt' with the people who were already living there.
The Maori were more advanced and they loved war, and also cannibalism. In today's woke religious world, these things are not really being taught anymore.

The article in the link mentions the, "British colonizers." But what about the Maori colonizers? In the religion of the woke, tanned, brown, or black people from any land cannot be criticized

I agree with what is said by this politican:
“My Treaty Principles Bill says that I, like everybody else, whether their ancestors came here 1,000 years ago, like some of mine did, or just got off the plane at Auckland International Airport this morning to begin their journey as New Zealanders, have the same basic rights and dignity,” he told the BBC.

“Your starting point is to take a human being and ask, what's your ancestry? What kind of human are you?” adds Seymour who has Māori ancestry himself. “That used to be called prejudice. It used to be called bigotry. It used to be called profiling and discrimination. Now you're trying to make a virtue of it. I think that's a big mistake.”

When Europeans do it, it's colonization, when anyone else does it, it's called bringing diversity

video was kinda sick. the haka usually looks so out of place, it makes people cringe but her ripping up the paper was kinda dope. i also don't know shit about this bill so no opinion on that. just a cool video.

This is a HIGHLY controversial statement for Europeans right now.

Europeans are struggling with identitarian politics, so the idea someone can step off the plane and have all the same rights as a European is going to be nuts to them.

I know you didn't ask for European opinions, and I appreciate your knowledgeable reply, but I'm just putting that out there for others.

Most right wing types would disagree vehemently.

Most everyone from South east asia/south pacific were can trace their ancestors to Taiwan. The brits were just more efficient.

Also, defeated people should stop doing their angry face dance.
 
Can any Kiwi's chime in? I am instinctively against a bunch of retards dancing in parliament but I don't have an informed opinion about it. The Haka has always been gay as fuck, by the way. All the people who ever liked that are the same drones that rave about how great bacon is, or whatever the current meme is.
