www.rnz.co.nz/mata Minister for Māori Development Tama Potaka discusses the big challenges facing Māori and how the coalition government plans to address them. Made with the support of NZ On Air & Te Māngai Pāho.
Kiwis doing great initiative to bringing back diversity. Kiwis even willing see it, acting against and bringing society in for re naturation and conservation its great since decades. Hope NZ bird saving, sea stabilisation and wild forest going on further till all doing to saving Aotearoa.
I've just read the comments and most disagree with Tama's actions however there are a potential number of 'bombers' who love to comment on threads like these to seemingly give the right a majority look
🙏 NZ politics and strategic would come togheter and not important what party its ruling now or tomorrow.... having a plan togheter going into future and now. Like in USA, Germany or another always blame government before made all wrong.... better all kiwis would have a target and togheter always correct they path. Changing course of acting every 4-5 years need always so mutch money, dedication and work to change strategic and reorganise or fix new plans. Best would be thats all parties always must find consent acting? Going slower but with consistency . And kiwis path of consistent living with accept new need and interests its mostly able to go in Aotearoa. 🙏 kiwis working togheter and for all. Not years for they and then for another. Kiwis must know thats world safety is only with NZ.
The govt can not abdicate all responsibility of saving our native flora and fauna. We expect them to fund conservation projects and not allow anything to be extinct in this day and age.
Finally Mihingarangi actually took someone to task and stayed with the line of questioning. Tama is a disappointment on many levels. Couldn't look her in the eye when replying to the question of the principals bill - as minister for Māori, te reo, and a Māori his first position was to declare he's a National party man first, coalition partner 2nd and te ao Māori 3rd.
Tama is one of those "change from the inside" type of people hes playing the long game, i dont see it as a bad thing to have people like him in these spaces, that being said its becoming a zero-sum game now and i would rather risk a net negative through decisive action than wait on hope for another 10 years.. Māori mana motuhake is Inevitable ✊
@@rtvandle your perception that Tama is damaging his mana is your own view and not that I or many other Maori share. The government is in a difficult position due to poor decisions made by the previous Labour led administration and some difficult choices and sacrifices need to be made for the good of the country as a whole. That is called leadership
@@danielphillips4399 do you not believe supporting something that includes disrespecting our shared history and one of our founding documents damages ones mana? Regardless of the outcome. A lot of Maori are upset by this, as well as many experts. Hence why they sent him a letter to object to it.
@@danielphillips4399 I'd love for you to explain what mistakes labour made that wasting money scrapping and replacing our founding document is going to fix
@@rtvandleLet's be clear: your views are your own, and you don't get to speak for me or assume my opinions as a proud Maori. I'm certain you don't speak for Tama either, so don't pretend to represent our voices. As a leader, you may need to make tough decisions, but that doesn't mean sacrificing the well-being of our people. Tama, as part of the National caucus, has a responsibility to uphold the coalition agreement. However, let's not forget that their support only extends to the first reading. Beyond that, they're free to oppose the bill. It's no secret that the National Party and Chris Luxon have shown little interest in revisiting the Treaty. Their lack of commitment is evident. The government's coalition partners are only obligated to support this bill to the first reading, after which they can reject it. Let's not be naive about the political games being played here.
IMO she's an excellent interviewer. She knows how to back him into a corner to get what she wants to expose out of the interview, she reads him well. He doesn't engage eye contact very well, almost feeling a little uncomfortable. Watch that body language in her foot😉 Love this woman!
Good on you Tama atleast your at the table, As for TPM there sitting in opposition doing little to nothing for Māori yet still collecting a good parliament salary.
Doesn't know who wrote the tītiti translation and won't follow it up. Will hold the party line when the bill is introduced. Politics first, Māori second.
@@jamesstewart2993 could you elaborate as to why you dont think they are the most racist Govt in recent memory and who do you think was more anti Māori?
@@tommcg7564are they anti Maori or pro everyone being equal? I think you could argue you have it round the wrong way, I think ALOT of people would argue you have it around the wrong way
