David Seymour on Co-Governance, Apartheid & being labeled a 'Useless Māori'

David Seymour says he is not playing dog whistle or apartheid style politics - and he’s not a useless Māori. No holding back in this discussion. Here's the full interview.

    Moana , please explain what makes Maori indigenous . Maori arose , came to be , somewhere else , not in New Zealand . As I understand it , they came to New Zealand from islands in eastern Polynesia . Further to that , it seems likely that they came out into the Pacific , from Taiwan , based on the DNA evidence . So , are they indigenous to three different places ? To be indigenous is to have arisen in a particular region or place . By this correct definition , Maori do not qualify as indigenous . Not to worry though , such has been the movement around the globe of humankind over many thousands of years , that many ,many different peoples do not qualify as being indigenous to the land where they now live . Where is co-governance spelled out in the treaty , can you point me to the wording that defines that idea ? It is anti-democratic and that is the danger for it is the start of the slippery slope that does threaten to end in something like apartheid .

    If racial separatism and special entitlement for people with any trace of Maori ancestry is justified by the Treaty, I have two questions for Moana: 1. For a person with mixed ancestry, say part Maori and part British, with the Maori part claiming special privileges because of Maori ancestry, does the British ancestry part has any obligation to facilitate such privileges, or is this part of ancestry simply ignored in this instance? 2. The Treaty was signed by Maori and the British. As I don't have neither Maori nor British ancestry, my ancestors were not party to any treaty. So what is my actual status in this country? Am I an alien, a guest to Maori, to the British, a foreigner, a third class citizen, a Kiwi, or what am I?

Left to their own devices prior to the Treaty Maori were killing each other off at an alarming rate with their tribal wars based of past unresolved Utu (revenge) issues. European Colonization of New Zealand was the saving grace of the Maori population left after the musket wars prior to the Treaty.

    While there is no question that there were a great many inequitable outcomes for Maori due to colonization - some of which persist to this day - there are a great many people of all backgrounds who started with nothing and through hard mahi, and perhaps some luck, they got ahead, especially in democratic societies. Nobody has a monopoly on suffering or having felt some sense of injustice in life, whether individually or otherwise. If one reinforces ones own sense of having suffered as though to suggest this is special suffering, then this can serve to perpetuate the suffering by re-living it over and over again. The entire history of the world has gone through immense suffering, which prevails to this very day with things like war, disease, abject poverty and all manner of other deficiencies inherent with the human condition. No one and nothing is perfect. No one people can claim they've not had blood on their hands. 'Let he who is without sin cast the first stone'. One thing which is interesting in this whole sphere of this often pseudo debate is that we never really learn about certain aspects of Maori life prior to colonization. Inconvenient truths as it were. Particular facets of life that are just not spoken about, such as slavery for example or human sacrifice. We learn about land wars and various other related things where Maori were victimized and disenfranchised, but never about what Maori were doing to themselves in terms of their culture. Not to put too fine a point on that because every one through history did the exact same things, and much worse in fact. History should be about the good the bad and the ugly if we are to gain any half reasonable perspective on ourselves as the human race. If we engage in revisionism and romanticize the past as though to suggest it was all good then we do a disservice to ourselves in so memory holing the truth. Such a regressive approach is happening in many area's. While I'd not doubt that there were times of joy and great prosperity prior to colonization, there were also times of immense suffering too. When human rights came to the fore, and the rule of law, and land tenure and higher education and advanced farming, and democracy, to name but a few positives, I would hazard a guess that despite many inequities too, life for most Maori improved greatly. Why is this not said? Was colonization all bad? It's been said often, recently, 'trust the science'. Well, science would have us believe that the entire human race arose from one mother. DNA suggests this is the case. If someone is in need of help or support, if they are poor for example, then they should be helped. That is in every ones interest. But this should not be based upon race, rather, need. I personally do not care what race any one is. I am more interested in the content of ones character; their heart; their actions. We can all do better. Kia kaha. ;)

    You do realize colonisation wasn't for the benefit of Maori, it was for the benefit of the British. And the British that came have benefitted off the system created by them for them and their decendants. Maori were largely ignored for over 180 years treated as second class citizens, let's not think that the past 40years of bread crumbs makes up for that.

    @@johnbrown3764 My post neglected to mention that colonization was something that happened all over the world since day one. Whether this consisted of tribalism(wars) within one country or greater wars(millions killed) between countries, or even wars between individuals, 'it' was something even Maori were engaged in, often. In effect, 'winner takes all'. That was how things were done before things like law and human rights and democracy arose. Maori were no exception. They were just like every one else. They still are. We are all part of the human race. To be sure, the worst atrocities in the history of the world took place outside Aotearoa. What happened in NZ, due to colonization(the bad) is relatively mild in an 'international context'. But this in no way is to suggest that grievances experienced by Maori, and inequity perpetrated on Maori by colonization should not be addressed meaningfully, ie settlements and other avenues of redress within a rational society which respects the past. That has to be better than just, "I won it in war, so I own it all". For was not 'that' part of the Maori way prior to colonization? Just like the entire history of the world? We live and we learn. Together we advance, peacefully and with consideration of past injustices. We all share a common ancestor. Before that, we emanated from stars. This is what science tells us. A rising tide lifts all waka. Some may get more than others, and others start off with very little, but this does not infer that hard work, diligence and discipline will not bring forth fruit in a place like NZ. We all struggle at times in this life and it does not so readily discriminate based on race. Misfortune and fate will dictate all by themselves. Often times, all people are their own worst enemies. Suffering, it can be argued, is, and always was, and always will be, part of the human experience. Only God knows the true score. 'Forgive them for they know not what they do'. I can't argue with that.

Quite insightful in providing a picture of what Maori tikanga, matauranga Maori and te ao Maori, i.e. Maori life was generally like before colonisation. Not a great deal better than a living hell, but fortunately most didn't have to endure it for long given life expectancies of the time. On the whole, the benefits far outweigh the very few detriments.

    @@utubermax the irony is colonisation for Maori meant that more than half of Maori died from diseases brought here by pakeha, and then because of the theft of land and access to their resources by greedy land grabbing pakeha Maori were left to struggle and died from poverty. So funny how you think that colonisation was good, your looking at it from your racist colonial supremacists view. Colonisation wasn't good for Maori, or are you saying its only been good for the Maori that have survived. Also the colonial story tellers always had a way of demonizing indigenous people or anyone that was different to them, and having the white saviour complex seemed to think that if a white man treats you bad it's for your own good. It so funny how white man always tells other people's history but never tell their own why is that. You know the true white man history of lies and greed, broken promises, no honour, the largest slave trade in human history. Christianity and the molestation and murder of Indigenous children.

And, unfortunately as the interviewer Moana came across as being a person fighting for survival in a world ruled by 'white' people, and that's lamentable, you need to lose that victim stance, it's just 'past use by date' this day and age.

    This Maori Seymour comes across as twice as clever as most people. Instead of celebrating, he is disowned. His own people is saying: “He doesn’t get it”, “He’s a useless Maori”. Yet if a prisoner is trotted out or a damaged youth, we loudly proclaim, “those are our people suffering”. We should be asking, how did he do so well inspite of such great difficulties? How did his parents nurture him, gave him a good education, looked after him to make him what he is now. Obviously, all these were done while he was very young. He was never left to be damaged, to be surrounded by people/parents or objects that were central to damaging people. Maybe that’s the secret they have to learn from him, to nurture, educate children from very young.

    We all come from ancestors. But native ancestors are always brought up, when citizenships are discussed. Everyone else moves forward and creates there future, except native culture.

    Who still cannot understand why they don’t move forward. Very difficult to do when looking backwards.

    That’s what honouring Te Tiriti is… moving forward. With the repercussions so rampant in our society it’s about time we retrieve some prosperity for Māori. What goes understated too much is land. Land equals wealth in this country and the fact that immediately after the Crown took sovereignty they took the land. How on earth did they ever expect Māori to thrive.

    "Everyone else moves forward and creates there future" very easy to move forward when you are already at the top of the hill but for those left at the bottom because of the past actions of the government, they still have to walk up it. and pretending like its all okay simply because you and your family haven't been affected just shows a lack of empathy for others.

    @@PA28Cherokee The Treaty stopped the horrible Musket wars the flood of settlers from aweful lives in England is a fact unseen back then .. Maori were too shattered to cope with it & leaping from new stone age to "civilisation" (as it then was) had such difficulty we can have little idea of. The best result must be to give everyone today a good opportunity NOT to try to even things on a racial base! Who was your grandaddy/ ma? so who gets cake?
