1489108 2022-11-01 07:53:00 This co-governance is overly done. look at the % of population that Māori represent. South Africa a is still called South Africa (or Sud Afrika for Afrikaans0 India is still India -independence came in 1947. Canada has French and English not the original Indians languages.. Our passports already list Aotearoa beside New Zealand -that is enough. Naming the Central Health Board Te Whatu Ora is an absolute joke. If Govt wanted to avoid an English name they more appropriately could have chosen a Filipino or Indian word. -Maori are barely represented in hospital staffing numbers. Oranga Tamariki gets bad publicity but where are the whanau who could have stepped in so that Ornag Tmariki's intervention would not be needed. A lot of blame but little self responsibility.

1489110 2022-11-02 06:50:00 Perhaps there's jealousy of the committees etc that get all the free publicity over the last few years? What did they largely have in common? The names seem to c***t publicity.

(*Not sure whether that should be caught or court.)

1489112 2022-11-04 02:26:00 "In 2017, the Whanganui River was made a person in the eyes of the law "

So how far do we need to go with this nonsense .
Its only alienating the moderate , compromising kiwi's .

if someone drowns in that river, is it now murder & the river can be charged , just like very other person.?
Is the river paying taxes ? Is the river paying rates for the land its occupying ?
Is the river personally liable for any damage due to flooding , can we sue the river ?

1489113 2022-11-04 02:40:00 The next thing is what worries me. I never go near the W(h)anganui river but soon the dust beneath our feet will be granted personhood and the iwi will charge a levy for walking on it.

It would take a better legal mind than mine to try suing the river but I would love to see it done. And that river has claimed so many lives it has to be considered a serial killer and should be jailed for life. But where...?
