What's the context around saying it's overused? you mean for sports?

Used for a lot of things. Social media saturation doesnt help. Funerals, sports, education etc. Of course lots of racists are jumping on it, they jump on everything. But the Welcome to County is facing a similar sort of thing here in Aus.

Those are all valid reasons for haka...
As tikanga maori becomes deeper entrenched in the culture, so it seems does the anti maori sentiment festering away.

Just in a sporting context, look at the difference between one team celebrating with their culture and the other boring and vanilla

Poor old Luxon slips up on 7x8. Corrected himself quickly though, seems to get flustered easily

Observation is not criticism.

Observation is not criticism.

There seems to be divisions rising again that seemed to be progressing

As a Maori, yesterday was embarrassing for me.

TPM polled at under 3%, Māori in nz population, 15%. They don’t represent all Maori, and whilst I respect their right to protest & in fact welcome it (a country with no ability to protest is a dictatorship), yesterdays antics at parliament overstepped the mark.

There are rules & standards within those 4 walls and these were not upheld. haka, whilst I adore the purpose and tradition, is used to intimidate and scare any opposition, usually incapable of a response. Parliament is not the right place for such & I believe they’re playing firmly into the hands of the act party.

I’m not going to attack or shoot down anyone in support of TPM, as a democracy you’re within your rights to vote and support who you please. But with TPM unwilling to even listen & have a debate actually resembles closer to a dictatorship where you cannot voice your concerns under the guise of supposed morality & racism.

Luxon has no backbone & is fence sitting on the issue, which is doing him no favours in the polls. Disclaimer, I’m not sure if I support acts bill but as a society we should respect their opinion and voice, as we should TPM.

Intimidation & acting how TPM did yesterday does not sit well with me, simply because they don’t believe something should be debated, does not mean you’re entitled to act in such a way. Again, TPM do not represent all Māori, and need to stop acting like they do. There’s also an underlying feeling that I’m a traitor & turning my back on Maori by not agreeing with them, which is a shit feeling of guilt tripping, but I don’t. I believe that everyone in NZ deserves a fair go, and that privilege based on skin colour is an extremely slippery slope that has never, ever ended well for nations.

Thank you for that.

Tough targets for charter schools will raise achievement

Associate Education Minister David Seymour says that Charter Schools will face a combination of minimum performance thresholds and stretch targets for achievement, attendance and financial sustainability.

35% attendance seen as acceptable from this government. Fucking crazy

 

[Funky Ed Koosie]

Imagine the outrage from the resident racists if Labour school attendance policy was "the poors can have 35% attendance, and the not so poors 60%".
The fucking moron government and it moron supporters strike again.

Sorry, but you do realise that most of the charter schools closed by Labour were Māori based and a number of Iwi took a claim to the Waitangi Tribunal, stating that the closure impeded the right of ākonga to a quality education.

While I don’t in anyway support ACT, I do think that every avenue that improves outcomes for especially disadvantaged Māori and Pasifika children needs to be explored…. our “one size fits all” policies from both major parties regarding education is letting down too many kids.
