Exactly! Not everyone of Maori descent (like me!) is on the Maori roll. Not everyone of Maori descent supports the Maori Party. Not everyone of Maori descent supports race-based institutions. And the elephant in the kitchen on Maori crime statistics - maybe there are more Maori in prison because they proportionally commit more crime.

Tribal Maori prior to 1840 was anything but idyllic - the likes of Te Rauparaha (for example) were just as reprehensible as the British.

Whats almost certain is that the Wealthy in NZ often own multiple houses, having benefited from a decades long booming housing market and a lack of CGT. Mnay like Luxon own a housiong portfolio that is mortgage free. Currently owning one home can make someone a paper millionaire so that is a barrier to using simple home ownership as the definition.

Part of the Crown fiction is to make us believe Te Tiriti was between Maori and the Crown and therefore a bilateral treaty. It was not - it was between hapu (as self governing peoples in their own right) and the Crown ie. a multilateral treaty between MULTIPLE sovereign or self determining peoples. When they 'Maori'ise' Tiriti discussions they deny hapu agency and instead defer to a 'whole of Maori' approach. But we didn't surrender the right to be self determining in relation to ourselves or our territories- in fact we expressly protected that in Te Tiriti. We need to honour our own treaty by respecting that indigenous truth and pushing back on the colonial fiction that undermines the very rangatiratanga the treaty protects. That's what kotahitanga looks like- not merging us into some colonial construct. Heoi- the Crown has Tiriti obligations to each and every hapu that signed that agreement - multilateral, concurrent obligations. It can not unilaterally redefine who its partner is to suit itself.

Part of the Crown fiction is to make us believe Te Tiriti was between Maori and the Crown and therefore a bilateral treaty. It was not - it was between hapu (as self governing peoples in their own right) and the Crown ie. a multilateral treaty between MULTIPLE sovereign or self determining peoples. When they 'Maori'ise' Tiriti discussions they deny hapu agency and instead defer to a 'whole of Maori' approach. But we didn't surrender the right to be self determining in relation to ourselves or our territories- in fact we expressly protected that in Te Tiriti. We need to honour our own treaty by respecting that indigenous truth and pushing back on the colonial fiction that undermines the very rangatiratanga the treaty protects. That's what kotahitanga looks like- not merging us into some colonial construct. Heoi- the Crown has Tiriti obligations to each and every hapu that signed that agreement - multilateral, concurrent obligations. It can not unilaterally redefine who its partner is to suit itself. Pretty sure you wouldn't get away with at that at the EU. Tihei. We are still here. No one speaks for us but us. Crown can't go to someone else to get permission for our indigenous nation.

Small but important point, David commenting on people’s life expectancy being relational to lifestyle choices is the out of date biomedical approach to health and the most ineffective target for health promotion. Our health science experts and decades data show that you need to attack health issues from a universal approach that target all the social, cultural, economic, and environmental determinants of health.

Allow for full deductions against R&D for tech development companies and companies creating their own technology systems. This will lower the entry cost for building technology in NZ. This will also allow us to compete with other countries in the tech industry and will give the future generation wired to technology a great chance to build the next best things online in this country. Remember, subscriptions to tech can be world wide and all that money coming to tech companies here in NZ would be awesome. Put that next to datacenters and our Green Energy approach. This can all be done along side our exports and tourisim. Tech's the future.

Same health impact findings that arose during Jenny Shileys reign. E.g not enough Drsnin rural areas. If there is a Dr. They are often working with no back up. So on duty 24/7. Also limited public transport in many rural areas.

And power and insurance costs.
