The new bill takes nothing from Maori ... all their customary rights and privileges and settlements of the past remain untouched, what the bill calls for is that ALL citizens of NZ are recognised as one equal people under the law irrespective of ethnicity. This group of Maori activists represent 3% of Maori and they do not like to be known as equal and what to be more than equal. Currently if a Maori and non Maori committed the same crime in NZ - Maori would get the lesser sentence just because he is Maori... that sort of thing would disappear and ALL citizens would be viewed as one equal peoples. It is a very fine and just bill. This rabble that have no respect for the nations Parliament, and would not act in this manner on a Maori marae (meeting house) hardly ever turn up to Parliament, do no work, take the money and cause nothing but trouble.
Insisting that Māori should be ‘grateful’ for not losing their rights while supporting a bill that erases their distinct status shows a complete lack of understanding. The idea that Māori get ‘lesser sentences’ or want to be ‘more than equal’ is a baseless myth designed to fuel division and avoid addressing deeper inequalities. Dismissing Māori advocates as ‘rabble’ is just a way to silence those who fight for justice. If defending their rights makes people uncomfortable, maybe it’s time to reflect on why you feel threatened by true equality.
@@Bellxking They only doing it out of greed and money. That's all. Stop making it something its not. Oh your making money off fishing ..we own the water and the fish gives us some of your money. Karma will not be kind to Maori.
Our New Zealand Government with Tax Payers Money are Giving Maori $54 million + for their Kapahaka - Matatini & this is how they Thank us Problem Fixed don't give them anymore
Thinking that $54 million spent on supporting Māori culture is too much says more about your priorities than about Māori gratitude. Kapa haka and events like Matatini enrich New Zealand’s identity and bring cultural, social, and economic benefits. Expecting Māori to be silent or stop advocating for their rights in exchange for funding is paternalistic and absurd. Culture isn’t a transaction, and true respect isn’t conditional
@benjaminrickdonaldson is it racist to point out low attendance at Parliament? The job they are paid for. Sad that they think doing a haka makes up for low attendance and not stating their case every day in parliament....these days many politicians value Til Tok or YT views more than holding the goverment to account and proposing sensible laws.
The haka is not just a dance, its a war dance. We're not reinterpreting the treat, we're defining to take it back to what it was. Maori have manipulated the treaty for extortion for decades. If the treaty doesn't go through our prime minister might have to get a new job as a snap election is on the cards. He's very unpopular over this.
“Māori have manipulated the treaty for extortion” Are you serious? Do you even know the history, the crap that they’ve had to put up with from racist colonial governments? No? Then sit down princess.
Idiots that do not speak for the majority of Māori, and are in fact slowly eroding support from NZers. The treaties bill is absolutely necessary and provides protections for all people.
EXACTLY. HELP STOP THE ROT AND KEEP TELLING EVERYONE THE FACTS. THIS WAS EVEN PUT INTO LAW IN AN ACT OF PARLIAMENT THAT THESE MAORIS REFUSED TO EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE.
And the people's here in NZ when they arrived Maori COLONIZED NZ killing , enslaving and eating there way through the Waitaha, Ngati Hotu , Moriori ,Moa Hunter , whatever name they went by Then turned on each other wiping out a third of their own population The Treaty ended , slavery , cannibalism and the continual colonizing wars Maori tribes wrought on each other Most of the 144 Chief were pragmatic in signing , knowing/hoping that the generations of continual warfare would end with this treaty -- and it did
To be clear I’m not saying this as a total condemnation of the Māori people, obviously that happened in the early 19th century and those Māori are no longer alive. I’m simply pointing this out to challenge the narrative that all indigenous people are inherently good and all colonial powers were inherently bad. All of these groups of people took immoral actions in the past and present and the truth is more nuanced than the dichotomy we often see discussed today. That and power imbalances have levels to them and don’t exist in a vacuum.
@ReekyHorror and a vacuum is what we have If both side disagree we go back to the basics of the treaty -- what is written down-- not what has been invented ,imagined or hoped for

New Zealand is a Democracy. Brazen intimidation and violence of any sort is banned in Parliament and Maori are rapidly alienating support among NZ Non-Maori citizens.

Hard to pick up the nuances from overseas....as a non Maori Kiwi who has returned after living overseas....this issue has become depressingly out of control. We should all be equal...we have a tribunal that settled land dispites...billions of dollars worth of fishing rights have been handed to Maori. What we have is a ratchet that gives ever more rights and cash to one race. Applying for a government job these days ...if you are a Maori you go to the front. Yes there are many social issues....but all the cash has made.little difference. Indians...Afghans...Syrians...Chinese...Argentinians...etc.come here to live.and do well. Yet we are told the system is stacked against Maori. So tired of hearing this.....these grandstanding politicians need to look harder at their culture and see why immigrants who arrive here with no special rights...often barely speaking English do well. Why is that? Maori leaders should spend all their time trying to improve educational outcomes instead of encouraging their children to believe they are are somehow especially disadvantaged. The last labour government learnt or maybe did not learn...that no cash...no further special rights will ever be enough.
We dont want your money, we want what was taken and stolen, weather it be legally through cunning govt laws or whatever. Handing over part of something that was already ours is a classic, you dont seem to get , we aren't looking for hand/pay outs. thats what the Govt want to do! Because they know how much more they've made by the theft. Every Kiwi unless actually mentally ill knows that the side winning on any of these deals is the Govt side??? Am i wrong?.

The anger, intimidation, and aggression of the haka may give you a clue as to why Maori are incarcerated at a higher rate, and are over-represented in family harm incidents. They are certainly not the victims that they make out to be. One important factor is that a larger percentage of New Zealanders are neither Maori or European, but hardworking tax payers- where do they fit in!? This is the purpose of the proposed bill- equal rights for all New Zealanders! And the man behind the bill is Maori himself!
@@moronicdooshbaggery756 Exactly, imagine if the other side did a similar thing. The left will go mad with outrage. But apparently, everything including te rro rism is tolerated by the left if it is done by a minority because identity politics take precedence over left principles.

The bill does not alter the treaty at all. The treaty has 3 articles and no principles. Sovereignty was clearly ceded. The principles are a construct of the waitangi tribunal that has crept in to legislation in the last 40 years. The maori party are racist ethno nationalists who believe they are entitled to superior rights and ultimately 50 % of state assets in a so called 'partnership'. All New Zealanders are equal. We have had billions of dollars paid out in treaty settlements over the last 35 years to the corrupt rangatira elite yet the negative primal and socioeconomic statistics for Maori have only gotten worse.

RUclips keeps deleting this comment, these are the original translations of the treaty and sir Apirana Ngata's take on it plus abit of its history but anyway enjoy reading The text of Te Tiriti o Waitangi / the Treaty of Waitangi The Treaty of Waitangi as signed in 1840 was an agreement between the British Crown and over 500 Maori chiefs. The terms of the Treaty are contained in three simple articles, which Sir Apirana Ngata, a prominent lawyer, and politician for 30 years, stated in his iconic booklet published in 1922 “The Treaty of Waitangi”: “The first article states, The Chiefs assembled including Chiefs not present at the assembly hereby cede absolutely to the Queen of England for ever the government of all of their land. The second article states, The Queen of England confirms and guarantees to the Chiefs and Tribes and to all the people of New Zealand the full possession of their lands, their homes and all their possessions… The third article states, Her Majesty the Queen of England extends to the Natives of New Zealand Her Royal Protection, and imparts to them all the rights and privileges of British subjects.” The Treaty of Waitangi was drafted in English by James Busby, the first British Resident of New Zealand, under the instructions of Captain William Hobson, who had been tasked by Lord Normanby, (Britain’s secretary of state for the colonies), to gain freely given Maori recognition of British sovereignty over New Zealand. The final English draft was translated into Maori by missionary Henry Williams and his son Edward, who were fluent te reo speakers, having lived amongst the tribes for 17 years. Henry then had a crucial role in explaining it to the chiefs who met Captain Hobson at Waitangi on 5 February. The terms of the Treaty are contained in three simple articles. The texts herein are James Busby’s February 4 text and Te Tiriti, the Maori language text. Te Tiriti was the only version present on the 6 February 1840, and was the text signed by the vast majority of chiefs around the country. The Maori language text is virtually identical in all respects to the James Busby final draft, except for the date, and the insertion of the word ‘maori’ in Article third. Busby February 4, 1840, draft (commonly known as the Littlewood Treaty) Article first The chiefs of the Confederation of the United Tribes and the other chiefs who have not joined the confederation, cede to the Queen of England for ever the entire Sovreignty [sic] of their country. Article second The Queen of England confirms and guarantees to the chiefs and the tribes and to all the people of New Zealand, the possession of their lands, dwellings and all their property. But the chiefs of the Confederation of United Tribes and the other chiefs grant to the Queen, the exclusive rights of purchasing such lands as the proprietors thereof may be disposed to sell at such prices as may be agreed upon between them and the person appointed by the Queen to purchase from them. Article third In return for the cession of their Sovreignty [sic] to the Queen, the people of New Zealand shall be protected by the Queen of England and the rights and privileges of British subjects will be granted to them. Signed, William Hobson Consul and Lieut. Governor. Now we the chiefs of the Confederation of United Tribes of New Zealand assembled at Waitangi, and we the other tribes of New Zealand, having understood the meaning of these articles, accept them and agree to them all. In witness whereof our names or marks are affixed. Done at Waitangi on the 4th of February, 1840. This is the maori translation Ko te tuarua Ko te Kuini o Ingarani ka wakarite ka wakaae ki nga Rangitira ki nga hapu - ki nga tangata katoa o Nu Tirani te tino rangatiratanga o o ratou wenua o ratou kainga me o ratou taonga katoa.

What’s actually embarrassing is pretending a ‘civilised’ country has no issues while ignoring the real struggles of its people. Just because a nation looks good on paper doesn’t mean it’s perfect or just. If fairness and addressing historical injustices make you uncomfortable, maybe it’s time to reconsider what ‘civilised’ really means.
@ Everyone is equal under one law and when you start giving out preferential treatment on ethnic grounds that is both discriminatory and racist.Its these same people who cry racism are usually the biggest racist of all.
@@gordonrosswhitehead5052 Claiming ‘everyone is equal under one law’ ignores the reality that systems haven’t treated all groups equally for generations. Addressing historical and systemic disparities isn’t ‘preferential treatment’; it’s making up for decades of inequality. Labeling those who fight for fairness as the ‘biggest racists’ is just an attempt to deflect from the real issue: some people are uncomfortable with facing the truth about privilege and injustice.
Te Pati Maori are not lawmakers,they are a minor party with only 3.08% of the vote so they do not represent all Maori.They use culture as an excuse to disrespect democracy and Parliament.They didn't have a clear argument to debate just tantrums.
ACT is a minor party that has less then 10% of public support and yet they are currently sitting in office through a coalition government, they were not voted in. So you could argue their proposed bill does not represent all New Zealanders either.
@@cmf6991 polls indicate that a majority of NZers want the discussion as they're fed up with their tax dollars going to grifters riding the 'treaty principles' gravey train.
The treaty was written in the 1840’s and actually quite groundbreaking for its time. Ironically the treaty is based on Māori tribes ceding sovereignty but the crown recognising rights of Māori. First problem these activist groups don’t recognise the sovereignty of the crown but want their own version to be recognised… which is ironic as they want money from tax payers for their MP salaries , separate health departments, criminal laws etc. The bill only opens debate on the matter rather than allowing activist politicians and judges rewrite the treaty.
@@toemas8 They believed they were signing into a protectorate agreement where they maintained sovereignty for themselves (Maori do not believe you can give up sovereignty over yourself) and kept their land, but shared rights and responsibilities with the rest of the settled land. It was meant to be a partnership, but the representatives who wrote the treaty were undermined by the crown itself who wanted sovereignty over the Maori, and so the treaty was not honored as it was written. To this day it still isn't.
So there are two versions of the treaty, the one written in Maori that the tribes signed, and the one written in English that the crown enforced. They use different language.
The Maori party is the only political party in NZ that achieves nothing cycle after cycle. Their main objective is to disrupt rather than to push policy that would help the Maori people. So it's a vicious cycle where they become disillusioned with politics but the reasons why are all self-inflicted. They're just time wasters, not change makers and it looks like they just baited this RUclips channel too.
They are there to be the squeaky wheel for the tribal elite including the likes of John Tamahere, to keep the gravy train of hundreds of millions of dollars of the NZ taxpayer flowing

The Treaty did not give any privileges to Maori. It has 3 paragraphs, the first saying that Maori give their sovereignity to the crown, the second in which crown promissed to protect Maori possession rights and te third in which the crown makes the people of New Zealand British citizens with equal rights.
Why are the first two clauses needed then? Clearly if Maoris are citizen of the NZ then the first two clauses are obviously assumed for any citizen of any democratic country.
I thought it highly appropriate given what is at stake for Maori and NZ. Let's not kid ourselves - this is a motion to set Maori back 70+ years when the treaty was largely ignored. Now we have ACT Party suddenly deeming it so impt it has to be stopped /changed.
Leaders around the world do way much bad things and say bad things, and courption at its highest, but you can't see only ready later when they get caught
Some context. There are no full blooded Maori left - at best someone might be able to claim to be 1/4 Maori. This is because of inter-marrying/child bearing with other races. The actual reason behind this protest movement is self-governance i.e separatism! Rates of incarceration reflect the number of Maori in gangs - health statistics are poor for them because of their diet/smoking etc. Poor educational outcomes are directly linked to the previous sentence. Either that or......

Palki one of the problems is Ka Mate means ‘be dead’. The haka used in the context of NZ parliament is an attempt to ‘curse’ the Act party leader. Te Pati Maori are only for NZ Maori - that is the only culture they know - they are not interested in any other expression of culture than their own. They don’t like Indians, Chinese or Caucasians. Very isolationist culture. Also Maori and Pakeha have inter-married for hundreds of years. Many have Maori relatives, and children and are not represented because Te Pati Maori only recognise Maori Maori. All Maori are not represented by this ghastly party who want to own all the water, rivers, sea bed and everything in it. It is really a religious thing but NZ is too scared to say it.
Im maori. The haka is a defiance of death. Ka mate, I die, ka ora, I live! Performed in the house that Jack built that has a history of passing laws to exterminate Maori. Some put bombs in pagers to express emotion, Maori haka.
Te Pati Maori don't need to represent the interests of the Indians or Chinese or Caucasians, they need to represent the Maori population. They do respect other cultures, you're wrong about that. This is about disrespect and ill-treatment. They can't just lie down and take it.
They don't even speak for majority of maori but simply for a few, and running scared, obviously by their response, that their gravy train is pulling into the station for them to get off.
@@tomphillpotts A Government represents all people. They have no right being there if they represent one tiny portion of the people. Do you understand?.

You can't change a culture's culture Their culture is very violent, aggressive and intimidating That's we why they have a barcode on their chins.. supposed to scare people
They are against equal rights to all New Zealand citizens. They want to keep their special privileges or in other words more government benefits compared to other NZ citizens.
Obviously, the original people of New Zealand are rightly voicing their opinion because for 184 years , New Zealands laws haven't been 'equal' or FAIR to the Maoris. And we know it was the colonizers who gained power and implemted those UNFAIR laws.
Making noise to substitute their lack of mana. The haka used to be something most NZers respected but honest debate is replaced by attempts to intimidate by fringe Maori racists.
Polki you have got it completely wrong. The treaty states that sovereignty wasceded to the xrown but some maori want to have separate laws for them but that is not what the treaty actually says 😊
No it doesnt. There are discrepancies between the English and Maori language version. Maori did not cede sovereignty the Waitangi Tribunal adjudicated that decision yet the racist British Colonial Govt want to now change the law and the Treaty itself
You do know that Palki just reads it. She does not create/edit the news. FirstPost is a CIA funded outlet, with the goal of confusing Indians into hating Russia/China. Palki was chosen for her thick Indian accent and relatively good looks. But she is not a journalist.

Yeah thank goodness there is educated people who can see through the act and drama. Like yeah it's definitely cool. But what are we going to do about the starving children/ homelessness in our country with you yelling. Cheers. Good honest rational open and critical thinking. I bet 99% of other people will view this and instantly associated this with the opressed people utilizing the rights. I all for human rights but without actually living in New Zealand and understanding the context/facts of how people live in New Zealand. Maori People are far from opressed and are actually very entitled. They have been given all the rights and extra advantages but crave more. This is not say all maoris but the ones you see here are actually lazy to actually forge a path for their own, they want to attach themselves to old idealogies and past greviances which don't apply to them all mainly their ancestors. I think this is all bullshit and we need to call it out for what it is.
Yay I came to look for comments dreading to see people "oh wow she so great!, so cool opressed people winnning! #maori" but thank goodness, the majority of people commenting are critical thinking people who can see through this bullshit dance they put on in a scared place such as parliament.
Maori are NOT indigenous, the Maori party are activists, a bunch of freeloaders who are anarchists, the vast majority of Maori are decent people who are embarrassed by these grifters !!
As a New Zealand Chinese immigrant, the proposed bill does make sense. Even if it may not be passed due to societal pressures, I think that the Māori community should at least listen to what the ACT party has got to say and provide counter arguments. The Māori simply just rejects this bill without respectful and meaningful debate.
It is a sad day when people are so determined to divide a country and want separatism. The Maori are not asking for equality or equity, they want sovereignty and want the 80% non Maori to pay for them to live under a completely different system. Sadly it really is only the wealthy elite Maori that want this, the majority of Maori are against these activists. Most Maori are beautiful family orientated people but the rise of young Maori pushed on by the wealthy separatists that want to rule the country are causing huge division here. The culture of the Maori is a beautiful thing and this intimidating, disrespectful, aggressive display in our Parliament does NOT represent the feelings of most Maori in this country.
summed up perfectly, ever since the changes made in the 70's the lot for mainstream Maori has gone backwards, meanwhile the elite get richer and richer, with no intention of passing anymore than a smokescreen amount to their own people that could benefit from both financial and guidance assistance. Without intervention NZ will slip back into a 3rd world status and the corruption that is already in existence will become suddenly very visible to the non-informed public, and the general Maori population will be worst off, because if you fix the problem then there is no case for additional funding, which the tribal elite have become addicted to. Off all people, the non-tribal elite Maori population should get behind this legislation and start asking the tribal elite what the enormous sums of money given has done to help bring them out of their plight.
The treaty does not give special privilege's to Maori at all, it gives equal rights for ALL New Zealand's. Read article two of the original treaty Palki, poor reporting.

What!? Maori were here 200 years before the Spanish, 300 years before the Dutch, 400 years before Cook. There would be bow All Blacks without people doing together. Its hardly the same as Australia and the Aboriginal peoples who have been there 60,000. And the treaty has been changed beyond the agreement. This article is shallow.

@BharatSingh-x1h They arnt all the same and Maori arnt indigenous and wernr wiped out. They were here 200 years prior to the Spanish abd 300 years prior to Able Tasman. But most are mixed now. And they weren't evolving structurally or socially. We wouldn't have the All Blacks without the unity of all those here. Stop generalizing.
Māori settled New Zealand centuries before any European even knew it existed, and calling them ‘colonizers’ ignores the clear difference between settlement and colonial conquest. If you’re trying to deny Māori their rightful status as indigenous people, you’re just rewriting history to suit an agenda

I would like to correct the report. Māori here have all the same advantages as any other human being in New Zealand. That is what the Bill was wanting to enshrine under law. It isn’t trying to re write the treaty in any way. One people , one nation, one set of laws for all.

This Haka is such an annoying peace of garbage. I understand that its the culture of the indigenous people but the issue is that why is it necessary to disrupt public events and parliament sessions with this. Being noisy and annoying makes people resent you.

That's wrong. MĀORI did not come here. Polynesians did. The Māori culture naturally developed here. By definition that means indigeneous. And the originals are who? Moriori were also Polynesians who came here then settled the Chathams. Not even mainland. Stop spreading misinformation. Those claims have been debunked.

Mr Jackson, point of order Bro, New Zealand does not have a constitution. And to the woman narrating, NZ laws do not derive from the Treaty, at least do some research before making blatantly untrue statements. Most NZ law has derived from English common law. Still think NZ should have adopted the Maori flag as our national flag rather than clinging to outdated colonial ideals. And before the white nationalists continue to dilute the argument, the Treaty was a contract between Maoridom and the Crown, and should be treated as such. Pakeha here btw.
The Māori Party only cause division within NZ. They want, want and want. They want to have things the Pakeha (white person) can’t have or want for free, where the Pakeha have to pay. This in no way promotes unity, but has and only will promote further resentment and cause division. The Māori Party play the poor victim, they point the finger and shout racist. Historically Māori have never been a harmonious people with in fighting and wars between themselves. Granted the world has been historically shaped by wars, land grabs and intolerance. In a modern, tolerant world all New Zealanders need to be able to live together, where everyone is treated equally. Wanting something for nothing, and having something others cannot have will not achieve this.
They HAVE THAT RIGHT AND IT SHOULD BE KEPT! I live in Canada. I was born here. I also stand with the Native people's here and will continue to!! The way that those families and people have been treated for hundreds of years and still are suffering has been a disgrace! They have the right to protest! The bill was passed. It should not have been in question again! Thank you.
if you a Canadian your obligation is for the people native of the country not to migrantes that settled there and wanna keep the status of power , that what ta we call be citizen of the country
There cannot be 2 systems in any country
One system was there first then the other came and took almost everything
Full support for David Seymour addressing the human rights of all NZ people not just the select few based on ancestory.
The new bill takes nothing from Maori ... all their customary rights and privileges and settlements of the past remain untouched, what the bill calls for is that ALL citizens of NZ are recognised as one equal people under the law irrespective of ethnicity. This group of Maori activists represent 3% of Maori and they do not like to be known as equal and what to be more than equal. Currently if a Maori and non Maori committed the same crime in NZ - Maori would get the lesser sentence just because he is Maori... that sort of thing would disappear and ALL citizens would be viewed as one equal peoples. It is a very fine and just bill. This rabble that have no respect for the nations Parliament, and would not act in this manner on a Maori marae (meeting house) hardly ever turn up to Parliament, do no work, take the money and cause nothing but trouble.
Insisting that Māori should be ‘grateful’ for not losing their rights while supporting a bill that erases their distinct status shows a complete lack of understanding. The idea that Māori get ‘lesser sentences’ or want to be ‘more than equal’ is a baseless myth designed to fuel division and avoid addressing deeper inequalities. Dismissing Māori advocates as ‘rabble’ is just a way to silence those who fight for justice. If defending their rights makes people uncomfortable, maybe it’s time to reflect on why you feel threatened by true equality.
@@Bellxking They only doing it out of greed and money. That's all. Stop making it something its not. Oh your making money off fishing ..we own the water and the fish gives us some of your money. Karma will not be kind to Maori.

ITS THEIR LAND
Our New Zealand Government with Tax Payers Money are Giving Maori $54 million + for their Kapahaka - Matatini & this
is how they Thank us
Problem Fixed don't give them anymore
Thinking that $54 million spent on supporting Māori culture is too much says more about your priorities than about Māori gratitude. Kapa haka and events like Matatini enrich New Zealand’s identity and bring cultural, social, and economic benefits. Expecting Māori to be silent or stop advocating for their rights in exchange for funding is paternalistic and absurd. Culture isn’t a transaction, and true respect isn’t conditional

@benjaminrickdonaldson is it racist to point out low attendance at Parliament? The job they are paid for. Sad that they think doing a haka makes up for low attendance and not stating their case every day in parliament....these days many politicians value Til Tok or YT views more than holding the goverment to account and proposing sensible laws.
Really?🧐
The haka is not just a dance, its a war dance. We're not reinterpreting the treat, we're defining to take it back to what it was. Maori have manipulated the treaty for extortion for decades. If the treaty doesn't go through our prime minister might have to get a new job as a snap election is on the cards. He's very unpopular over this.
“Māori have manipulated the treaty for extortion” Are you serious? Do you even know the history, the crap that they’ve had to put up with from racist colonial governments? No? Then sit down princess.

EXACTLY. HELP STOP THE ROT AND KEEP TELLING EVERYONE THE FACTS. THIS WAS EVEN PUT INTO LAW IN AN ACT OF PARLIAMENT THAT THESE MAORIS REFUSED TO EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE.
And the people's here in NZ when they arrived
Maori COLONIZED NZ killing , enslaving and eating there way through the Waitaha, Ngati Hotu , Moriori ,Moa Hunter , whatever name they went by
Then turned on each other wiping out a third of their own population
The Treaty ended , slavery , cannibalism and the continual colonizing wars Maori tribes wrought on each other
Most of the 144 Chief were pragmatic in signing , knowing/hoping that the generations of continual warfare would end with this treaty -- and it did
To be clear I’m not saying this as a total condemnation of the Māori people, obviously that happened in the early 19th century and those Māori are no longer alive. I’m simply pointing this out to challenge the narrative that all indigenous people are inherently good and all colonial powers were inherently bad. All of these groups of people took immoral actions in the past and present and the truth is more nuanced than the dichotomy we often see discussed today. That and power imbalances have levels to them and don’t exist in a vacuum.
@ReekyHorror and a vacuum is what we have

Hard to pick up the nuances from overseas....as a non Maori Kiwi who has returned after living overseas....this issue has become depressingly out of control.

What we have is a ratchet that gives ever more rights and cash to one race. Applying for a government job these days ...if you are a Maori you go to the front. Yes there are many social issues....but all the cash has made.little difference. Indians...Afghans...Syrians...Chinese...Argentinians...etc.come here to live.and do well. Yet we are told the system is stacked against Maori. So tired of hearing this.....these grandstanding politicians need to look harder at their culture and see why immigrants who arrive here with no special rights...often barely speaking English do well. Why is that? Maori leaders should spend all their time trying to improve educational outcomes instead of encouraging their children to believe they are are somehow especially disadvantaged. The last labour government learnt or maybe did not learn...that no cash...no further special rights will ever be enough.
We dont want your money, we want what was taken and stolen, weather it be legally through cunning govt laws or whatever. Handing over part of something that was already ours is a classic, you dont seem to get , we aren't looking for hand/pay outs. thats what the Govt want to do!

David Seymour is part Maori.
The anger, intimidation, and aggression of the haka may give you a clue as to why Maori are incarcerated at a higher rate, and are over-represented in family harm incidents. They are certainly not the victims that they make out to be. One important factor is that a larger percentage of New Zealanders are neither Maori or European, but hardworking tax payers- where do they fit in!? This is the purpose of the proposed bill- equal rights for all New Zealanders! And the man behind the bill is Maori himself!
I understand that Haka is a war dance. So what they're doing is breaking out war dance when there is disagreement?

The bill does not alter the treaty at all. The treaty has 3 articles and no principles. Sovereignty was clearly ceded. The principles are a construct of the waitangi tribunal that has crept in to legislation in the last 40 years. The maori party are racist ethno nationalists who believe they are entitled to superior rights and ultimately 50 % of state assets in a so called 'partnership'. All New Zealanders are equal. We have had billions of dollars paid out in treaty settlements over the last 35 years to the corrupt rangatira elite yet the negative primal and socioeconomic statistics for Maori have only gotten worse.

RUclips keeps deleting this comment, these are the original translations of the treaty and sir Apirana Ngata's take on it plus abit of its history but anyway enjoy reading
The text of Te Tiriti o Waitangi / the Treaty of Waitangi
The Treaty of Waitangi as signed in 1840 was an agreement between the British Crown and over 500 Maori chiefs. The terms of the Treaty are contained in three simple articles, which Sir Apirana Ngata, a prominent lawyer, and politician for 30 years, stated in his iconic booklet published in 1922 “The Treaty of Waitangi”:
“The first article states, The Chiefs assembled including Chiefs not present at the assembly hereby cede absolutely to the Queen of England for ever the government of all of their land.
The second article states, The Queen of England confirms and guarantees to the Chiefs and Tribes and to all the people of New Zealand the full possession of their lands, their homes and all their possessions…
The third article states, Her Majesty the Queen of England extends to the Natives of New Zealand Her Royal Protection, and imparts to them all the rights and privileges of British subjects.”
The Treaty of Waitangi was drafted in English by James Busby, the first British Resident of New Zealand, under the instructions of Captain William Hobson, who had been tasked by Lord Normanby, (Britain’s secretary of state for the colonies), to gain freely given Maori recognition of British sovereignty over New Zealand. The final English draft was translated into Maori by missionary Henry Williams and his son Edward, who were fluent te reo speakers, having lived amongst the tribes for 17 years. Henry then had a crucial role in explaining it to the chiefs who met Captain Hobson at Waitangi on 5 February.
The terms of the Treaty are contained in three simple articles. The texts herein are James Busby’s February 4 text and Te Tiriti, the Maori language text. Te Tiriti was the only version present on the 6 February 1840, and was the text signed by the vast majority of chiefs around the country. The Maori language text is virtually identical in all respects to the James Busby final draft, except for the date, and the insertion of the word ‘maori’ in Article third.
Busby February 4, 1840, draft (commonly known as the Littlewood Treaty)
Article first
The chiefs of the Confederation of the United Tribes and the other chiefs who have not joined the confederation, cede to the Queen of England for ever the entire Sovreignty [sic] of their country.
Article second
The Queen of England confirms and guarantees to the chiefs and the tribes and to all the people of New Zealand, the possession of their lands, dwellings and all their property. But the chiefs of the Confederation of United Tribes and the other chiefs grant to the Queen, the exclusive rights of purchasing such lands as the proprietors thereof may be disposed to sell at such prices as may be agreed upon between them and the person appointed by the Queen to purchase from them.
Article third
In return for the cession of their Sovreignty [sic] to the Queen, the people of New Zealand shall be protected by the Queen of England and the rights and privileges of British subjects will be granted to them. Signed, William Hobson Consul and Lieut. Governor. Now we the chiefs of the Confederation of United Tribes of New Zealand assembled at Waitangi, and we the other tribes of New Zealand, having understood the meaning of these articles, accept them and agree to them all. In witness whereof our names or marks are affixed. Done at Waitangi on the 4th of February, 1840.

How embarrassing. We live in a civilised first world democratic country and we now see this been shown around the world .
What’s actually embarrassing is pretending a ‘civilised’ country has no issues while ignoring the real struggles of its people. Just because a nation looks good on paper doesn’t mean it’s perfect or just. If fairness and addressing historical injustices make you uncomfortable, maybe it’s time to reconsider what ‘civilised’ really means.
@ Everyone is equal under one law and when you start giving out preferential treatment on ethnic grounds that is both discriminatory and racist.Its these same people who cry racism are usually the biggest racist of all.
@@gordonrosswhitehead5052 Claiming ‘everyone is equal under one law’ ignores the reality that systems haven’t treated all groups equally for generations. Addressing historical and systemic disparities isn’t ‘preferential treatment’; it’s making up for decades of inequality. Labeling those who fight for fairness as the ‘biggest racists’ is just an attempt to deflect from the real issue: some people are uncomfortable with facing the truth about privilege and injustice.
Te Pati Maori are not lawmakers,they are a minor party with only 3.08% of the vote so they do not represent all Maori.They use culture as an excuse to disrespect democracy and Parliament.They didn't have a clear argument to debate just tantrums.
Don't be naive you don't know what you talking about

Totally agree. 1 term party (te pati)😂😂
ACT is a minor party that has less then 10% of public support and yet they are currently sitting in office through a coalition government, they were not voted in. So you could argue their proposed bill does not represent all New Zealanders either.
@@cmf6991 polls indicate that a majority of NZers want the discussion as they're fed up with their tax dollars going to grifters riding the 'treaty principles' gravey train.
Let's be honest, this has no place in a parliamentary setting. It's uncivil and is in no way conducive to political discourse. Embarrassing.
The treaty was written in the 1840’s and actually quite groundbreaking for its time. Ironically the treaty is based on Māori tribes ceding sovereignty but the crown recognising rights of Māori. First problem these activist groups don’t recognise the sovereignty of the crown but want their own version to be recognised… which is ironic as they want money from tax payers for their MP salaries , separate health departments, criminal laws etc.
The bill only opens debate on the matter rather than allowing activist politicians and judges rewrite the treaty.
Wrong that the colonizers trick their are 2 versions of the Treaty 1 in the Indigenous language and 1 in english which differs significantly
They did not cede sovereignty. That's kinda the point.
@@chrismurray3808 so why sign a treaty lol.
@@toemas8 They believed they were signing into a protectorate agreement where they maintained sovereignty for themselves (Maori do not believe you can give up sovereignty over yourself) and kept their land, but shared rights and responsibilities with the rest of the settled land. It was meant to be a partnership, but the representatives who wrote the treaty were undermined by the crown itself who wanted sovereignty over the Maori, and so the treaty was not honored as it was written. To this day it still isn't.
So there are two versions of the treaty, the one written in Maori that the tribes signed, and the one written in English that the crown enforced. They use different language.
The Maori party is the only political party in NZ that achieves nothing cycle after cycle. Their main objective is to disrupt rather than to push policy that would help the Maori people. So it's a vicious cycle where they become disillusioned with politics but the reasons why are all self-inflicted.
They're just time wasters, not change makers and it looks like they just baited this RUclips channel too.

The Treaty did not give any privileges to Maori. It has 3 paragraphs, the first saying that Maori give their sovereignity to the crown, the second in which crown promissed to protect Maori possession rights and te third in which the crown makes the people of New Zealand British citizens with equal rights.
Why are the first two clauses needed then? Clearly if Maoris are citizen of the NZ then the first two clauses are obviously assumed for any citizen of any democratic country.
There is absolutely no reason whatsoever in any parliament to act aggressive and create gestures of violence towards the opposition. Full stop ✋️
That's one perspective
Honor the treaty full stop
I thought it highly appropriate given what is at stake for Maori and NZ. Let's not kid ourselves - this is a motion to set Maori back 70+ years when the treaty was largely ignored. Now we have ACT Party suddenly deeming it so impt it has to be stopped /changed.
its intimidatory behaviour and should be called out as such
Leaders around the world do way much bad things and say bad things, and courption at its highest, but you can't see only ready later when they get caught
Some context. There are no full blooded Maori left - at best someone might be able to claim to be 1/4 Maori. This is because of inter-marrying/child bearing with other races. The actual reason behind this protest movement is self-governance i.e separatism!
Rates of incarceration reflect the number of Maori in gangs - health statistics are poor for them because of their diet/smoking etc. Poor educational outcomes are directly linked to the previous sentence. Either that or......

Palki one of the problems is Ka Mate means ‘be dead’. The haka used in the context of NZ parliament is an attempt to ‘curse’ the Act party leader. Te Pati Maori are only for NZ Maori - that is the only culture they know - they are not interested in any other expression of culture than their own. They don’t like Indians, Chinese or Caucasians. Very isolationist culture. Also Maori and Pakeha have inter-married for hundreds of years. Many have Maori relatives, and children and are not represented because Te Pati Maori only recognise Maori Maori. All Maori are not represented by this ghastly party who want to own all the water, rivers, sea bed and everything in it. It is really a religious thing but NZ is too scared to say it.
Im maori. The haka is a defiance of death. Ka mate, I die, ka ora, I live! Performed in the house that Jack built that has a history of passing laws to exterminate Maori. Some put bombs in pagers to express emotion, Maori haka.

I can except other cultures but to act like that in parliament is really unprofessional & makes them look ridiculous & cringe!!! These ppl are supposed to be adults not act like children, WFT is wrong with the world today???!!!!
Unprofessional? What you call 'professional' is actually a cultural norm. Is wearing a suit and tie professional or is it a cultural norm?
@@tomphillpottsyou are ignorant
Actually what is wrong with government around the world with weak and courption people in power no wonder they are too many issues
You can't change a culture's culture
Their culture is very violent, aggressive and intimidating
That's we why they have a barcode on their chins.. supposed to scare people
It's culture. Something you don't have and you wouldn't understand.
They are against equal rights to all New Zealand citizens. They want to keep their special privileges or in other words more government benefits compared to other NZ citizens.
So they should have. Go home.
It's their native land after all
Obviously, the original people of New Zealand are rightly voicing their opinion because for 184 years , New Zealands laws haven't been 'equal' or FAIR to the Maoris. And we know it was the colonizers who gained power and implemted those UNFAIR laws.
@@code847e As it should be.
They are right becz they are native people and you're inveders and you must accept that
Making noise to substitute their lack of mana. The haka used to be something most NZers respected but honest debate is replaced by attempts to intimidate by fringe Maori racists.
Polki you have got it completely wrong. The treaty states that sovereignty wasceded to the xrown but some maori want to have separate laws for them but that is not what the treaty actually says 😊
No it doesnt. There are discrepancies between the English and Maori language version. Maori did not cede sovereignty the Waitangi Tribunal adjudicated that decision yet the racist British Colonial Govt want to now change the law and the Treaty itself
You do know that Palki just reads it. She does not create/edit the news. FirstPost is a CIA funded outlet, with the goal of confusing Indians into hating Russia/China. Palki was chosen for her thick Indian accent and relatively good looks. But she is not a journalist.
Why don't they just accept subjugation and be good little subjects like everyone else?
@@tommcg7564the clearest evidence they ceded sovereignty is all land disputes between Maori stopped, all intertribal wars stopped, all taking conquered enemies as slaves and eating them stopped. Clear evidence that Maori acquiesced to British laws.
No it doesn't. You're a lier
Nice reporting. With no disrespect to the Maoris, but what will the yelling and loud chanting of Haka do after all of these?
AGREED
Yeah thank goodness there is educated people who can see through the act and drama. Like yeah it's definitely cool. But what are we going to do about the starving children/ homelessness in our country with you yelling. Cheers. Good honest rational open and critical thinking. I bet 99% of other people will view this and instantly associated this with the opressed people utilizing the rights. I all for human rights but without actually living in New Zealand and understanding the context/facts of how people live in New Zealand. Maori People are far from opressed and are actually very entitled. They have been given all the rights and extra advantages but crave more. This is not say all maoris but the ones you see here are actually lazy to actually forge a path for their own, they want to attach themselves to old idealogies and past greviances which don't apply to them all mainly their ancestors. I think this is all bullshit and we need to call it out for what it is.
Violence in all its forms. Nasty and anti-democratic.
They can not progress past it.
She does this every other day, public stunt to gain popularity
Good for her. Stop feeding the globalists.
Yay I came to look for comments dreading to see people "oh wow she so great!, so cool opressed people winnning! #maori" but thank goodness, the majority of people commenting are critical thinking people who can see through this bullshit dance they put on in a scared place such as parliament.
Saw this on CNN, what a hilarious moment, I thought it some kind of a joke 😂
Maori are NOT indigenous, the Maori party are activists, a bunch of freeloaders who are anarchists, the vast majority of Maori are decent people who are embarrassed by these grifters !!
The treaty was written for Maori to get them on side
Colonials are the biggest thieves. Short memory.
As a Samoan Kiwi, thank you for sharing from an unbias view not like our Ozy friends.
El jugador más sobrevalorado de México, por favor dejen de endiosarlo. Los únicos grandes de México han sido Hugo Sánchez y Rafa Márquez.
I read the word cringe all the time!!! Sounds so immature. Sounds like people who have no respect/knowledge for their ancestry.
It's my culture
I love her protest👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Respect for were there at. Maybe you should pass a law on what is expected when their in session.
As a New Zealand Chinese immigrant, the proposed bill does make sense. Even if it may not be passed due to societal pressures, I think that the Māori community should at least listen to what the ACT party has got to say and provide counter arguments. The Māori simply just rejects this bill without respectful and meaningful debate.
It is a sad day when people are so determined to divide a country and want separatism. The Maori are not asking for equality or equity, they want sovereignty and want the 80% non Maori to pay for them to live under a completely different system. Sadly it really is only the wealthy elite Maori that want this, the majority of Maori are against these activists. Most Maori are beautiful family orientated people but the rise of young Maori pushed on by the wealthy separatists that want to rule the country are causing huge division here.
The culture of the Maori is a beautiful thing and this intimidating, disrespectful, aggressive display in our Parliament does NOT represent the feelings of most Maori in this country.
summed up perfectly, ever since the changes made in the 70's the lot for mainstream Maori has gone backwards, meanwhile the elite get richer and richer, with no intention of passing anymore than a smokescreen amount to their own people that could benefit from both financial and guidance assistance.
Without intervention NZ will slip back into a 3rd world status and the corruption that is already in existence will become suddenly very visible to the non-informed public, and the general Maori population will be worst off, because if you fix the problem then there is no case for additional funding, which the tribal elite have become addicted to.
Off all people, the non-tribal elite Maori population should get behind this legislation and start asking the tribal elite what the enormous sums of money given has done to help bring them out of their plight.
They are not separate from the rest of us. The majority.
@@JimBenbow-d4oimagine the indoctrination happening since then. Convenient I takes 3 generations to brainwash. That's communism.
LOVE THE HAKA ❤❤❤
The treaty does not give special privilege's to Maori at all, it gives equal rights for ALL New Zealand's. Read article two of the original treaty Palki, poor reporting.
Which version of the treaty are you talking about?
What about the one where the majority of the maori signed? You aren't a expert on the treaty. Stop.
@@toad501 the majority right, but not all. So who DECREED that it applies to ALL? THE QUEEN. Who's in charge do you think?
First understand some facts. British occupied lands of many indigenous people Australia (Aboriginal), New Zealand (Mauri), USA/Canada (Native Americans/ Red Indians). British wiped out majority of indigenous population in these countries.
Inveders wants equal rights in foreign lands and they shamefully call themselves citizen of newzealand 😂
That is how they operate everywhere and you can see their sham3less descendants all over this comment section crying foul.
i was born here i belong just as much as the 'originals' (lets not mention moriori either huh)
What!? Maori were here 200 years before the Spanish, 300 years before the Dutch, 400 years before Cook. There would be bow All Blacks without people doing together. Its hardly the same as Australia and the Aboriginal peoples who have been there 60,000. And the treaty has been changed beyond the agreement. This article is shallow.

@BharatSingh-x1h They arnt all the same and Maori arnt indigenous and wernr wiped out. They were here 200 years prior to the Spanish abd 300 years prior to Able Tasman. But most are mixed now. And they weren't evolving structurally or socially. We wouldn't have the All Blacks without the unity of all those here. Stop generalizing.
Maori are not indigenous, they are several different human groups that colonised NZ over time. As we do
Māori settled New Zealand centuries before any European even knew it existed, and calling them ‘colonizers’ ignores the clear difference between settlement and colonial conquest. If you’re trying to deny Māori their rightful status as indigenous people, you’re just rewriting history to suit an agenda
Māori are not indigenous to New Zealand
They are indigenous🤭 but also from Hawaii Taiwan South America😂

Don't allow lunatics in a Parliament.
That this looks like lunacy to you shows how much you don't understand the situation.
It's disrespectful.
Great job from the Maori folks and their MPs. Stand up for your rights
No division. All are equal.
Fight for your rights . Bob Marley
I would like to correct the report. Māori here have all the same advantages as any other human being in New Zealand. That is what the Bill was wanting to enshrine under law. It isn’t trying to re write the treaty in any way. One people , one nation, one set of laws for all.
And yet National party voted 49 yes 😡 I have always enjoyed your reports for other matters and again you stand out from all the others with the facts, clear understanding and no nonsense reporting style I have come to repsect over the years.
This time, you speak for my people 😢 thank you ❤
The Haka was in protest to the 1st reading brought forward two days then it was Declared, as the Maori Hikoi(upto 10,000 strong March) was to end in Wellington in time for Reading of the 1st reading of the Bill in Parliament and this Pakeha Government didn’t want to face this Hikoi or its Mana!!
CRAP.
WAKE UP TO THE TRUTH.
More than traditional its a war dance 😂🤣
This Haka is such an annoying peace of garbage. I understand that its the culture of the indigenous people but the issue is that why is it necessary to disrupt public events and parliament sessions with this. Being noisy and annoying makes people resent you.
its an intimadatory war dance and having it in our parliamentary chambers should really concern everyone in NZ very deeply. This is a cancer being allowed to thrive in the very heart of our democratic engine
Haka is one of most fascinating traditional chanting.
Not indigenous they arrived in canoes ,ate and murdered the peacful indigenous people called mori ori look it up its a historical fact
Why use it in parliament? Oh right... because they're threatened. Highly inappropriate.
First understand some facts. British occupied lands of many indigenous people Australia (Aboriginal), New Zealand (Mauri), USA/Canada (Native Americans/ Red Indians). British wiped out majority of indigenous population in these countries.
In other news, not a single Māori who needs help was helped by that haka
Tell us all about Maori genocide of the Moriori.
Damn, they are the New Zealand version of blacks, folks, we have branches all over.
hey Firstpost, do some research. You're literally taking all Maori Party speaking points. Act is not the most right-wing party, that's NZ First. Act's leader is Maori heritage.
David Seymore is more maori than all of te-pati
i am maori... i have no extra rights than anyone (name one, I'll wait).
Redress is a separate issue... thats giving back what was taken. duh.
noone, i repeat noone has a right to have an opinion on a culture or a cultural document
Thanks for that now i understand whats going on
Not indigenous ! They turned up in canoes and ate the indigenous people,fact
Indigenous, literally means: naturally occurring (It can never be used in regard to any part of NZ human history)
Finally, hope you don't get too much crap for saying the truth
Even their own history claims they were warriors only in the canoes. but they still insist they have rights to everything.
That's wrong. MĀORI did not come here. Polynesians did. The Māori culture naturally developed here. By definition that means indigeneous. And the originals are who? Moriori were also Polynesians who came here then settled the Chathams. Not even mainland. Stop spreading misinformation. Those claims have been debunked. Next you're gonna say the Holocaust didn't happen.
@@JimBenbow-d4oMāori culture naturally developed here. That's why it's called indigenous. Before that they were multiple different Polynesian groups 😂
Mr Jackson, point of order Bro, New Zealand does not have a constitution. And to the woman narrating, NZ laws do not derive from the Treaty, at least do some research before making blatantly untrue statements. Most NZ law has derived from English common law. Still think NZ should have adopted the Maori flag as our national flag rather than clinging to outdated colonial ideals. And before the white nationalists continue to dilute the argument, the Treaty was a contract between Maoridom and the Crown, and should be treated as such. Pakeha here btw.
The Māori Party only cause division within NZ. They want, want and want. They want to have things the Pakeha (white person) can’t have or want for free, where the Pakeha have to pay. This in no way promotes unity, but has and only will promote further resentment and cause division. The Māori Party play the poor victim, they point the finger and shout racist. Historically Māori have never been a harmonious people with in fighting and wars between themselves. Granted the world has been historically shaped by wars, land grabs and intolerance. In a modern, tolerant world all New Zealanders need to be able to live together, where everyone is treated equally. Wanting something for nothing, and having something others cannot have will not achieve this.
This is seemingly unparliamentary. Period
They HAVE THAT RIGHT AND IT SHOULD BE KEPT!
I live in Canada. I was born here. I also stand with the Native people's here and will continue to!! The way that those families and people have been treated for hundreds of years and still are suffering has been a disgrace!
They have the right to protest!
The bill was passed. It should not have been in question again!
Thank you.
if you a Canadian your obligation is for the people native of the country not to migrantes that settled there and wanna keep the status of power , that what ta we call be citizen of the country
You don’t know what your talking about with regards to nz
There not natives there imigrants , they killed the origanal inhabitants,
A Canadian that is an expert on NZ😂😂 🧢
Leave Maori people Alone. Freedom for Maori
She's attention seeking
and a grifter, remember that 'home invasion' story?
Terrible journalism, learnt the facts, and pull ur pants up.
WELL SAID.
These comments say it all realy. Nothing will change.
In India, this type of going to the center of the assembly or parliament which they call well of house (not sure why??) and dancing is very common!!!
