Correct, their sense of entitlement is quite astonishing. As a tax payer I do not want any of my taxes going to fund any Matatriki celebrations, they forget or do not appear to be aware, Government money, funding comes from the hard working tax payer, not a money tree in Wellington. Welfare Dependency syndrome.
More they bleat the more $$$$ Maori get & continue to get & this latest holiday guess who’s paying for the big Feasts going on at Mareas across NZ 🤔 You the taxpayer. Time Maori Express Gravy train thunders on honky.
And why do you think that might be. Perhaps it's because a minority of White people in New Zealand hold all the wealth and the land and control the finances.
On point, our parents & g-parents the whole family got together planted our gardens ready for spring sprout we didn't go about shaking feathers & hollering at high pitch, we packed food to be gifted to our extended family friends neighbour's, these days it's a show for more putea to prop up elite Maori lol
No need to look at the stars, just note the position where the sun starts to rise and fall on a daily basis and you will see that its starting to head back in the opposite direction from where it was heading up until 21 June. Cheers me up not end knowing that the days are getting longer and it's time to get back out in the garden.
Maori want to know what has been done for them and nothing about all New Zealanders. Don't they realise that their iwi have got all their money and they should see them if they need cash. They have paid taxes which the Government gave to their leaders who are holding it, so ask them. The country is fast going down the gurgler and it won't be too long and there won't be any money for anyone.
I wouldnt call them leaders, They shore make it sound like the goverment dont help at all. I bet mostd maoris dont no that about the iwis gettin $$$ to help there people out.. maori party justd az baddd. All for them selfs if u asks me
Maori under Labour were given Billions in tax payer dollars to Re Brand every facet of NZ life to Maori namely hospitals schools police stations all media road signage police stations All educational institutions etc etc to less than 3% of the New Zealand public whom can read write or speak Maori, Unbelievable Waste of $$$$. All New Zealanders need to be treated Equally & no ethnicity given Privilege over others.
@@pauljones3062this sentiment would have been well appreciated through the 1930s to even now. Only now it’s us non-Māori who feel hard done by through choosing to listen to a sentence of reo on the news etc. wow how can a govt dept have both the language of the land AND english?? So bad 🙃
I grew up in Maori culture, never heard of matariki till about five years ago, it's Orion to the ancient Greeks and subaru to the Japanese, this is cultural appropriation by any standard surely.
@@holdencommodorehsv Rubbish, only for angry people full of hatred and self importance. China and Iran (eg) are having massive Christian revolutions at the moment.
Ka aroha kaore koe i rongo i a Matariki i mua atu i ngā tau e rima neke atu. Most primary schools have singing the song ‘Toia Mai’ since at least the early ‘90s, hence the haka part ‘Kokomako, kokomako, ko te hautapu he rite ki te kai na MATARIKI’ etc. Ahakoa tōku whakapapa nō tāwāhi kua waimarie ahau ki te tupu ake me ngā whānau Māori. Kōrero around Matariki has been alive for decades in the wider BOP at least. FYI, Orion is Tautoru. Pleiades is Matariki ✌️
@@djhemirukahemisphere8893 "ourselves" means all of us New Zealanders together. Who do you think it means? Nah, doesn't matter. Any other 'ourselves' is both separative and wrong.
Forgive me but when I was a boy wearing a hat indoors was a sign of disrespect, why does the speaker allow it for Rawiri especially as the hat he wears is not traditional garb?
And dance around like a Fairy with a Patu in his hand , is Christopher Luckston or David Seymour allowed to carry a Musket into the House of Parliament ?
@@darrenknox4174 now to be fair the left and right sides of the house are separated by more that a couple of swords length so weapons in the house are not unheard of (at least tje English house) a Patu is much shorter than a sword however and the intent is the same. Still I'd rather hold a sword
I couldn't agree more, but possibly it is allowed because if he wants to advertise the fact that he is an ignorant self righteous individual that is his somewhat dubious privilege.
Shane Jones is a treasure for all New Zealanders. As any student of economics knows Wants (desires)are unlimited but resources(funds) are limited. Choices have to be made where the limited funds are allocated. Should the scarce funds go to Matariki entertainment or to offering improved cancer treatment and drugs. To back room bureaucrats or fixing failing infrastructure To Members of Parliament who promote division or those who seek the long term betterment of all New Zealanders. Where should the scarce taxpayer funds go? Really reach for the Stars and unity of Matariki.
The calibre of parliament has been brought down by the greens, te pati and labour. It’s as though they can’t cope or compete with the coalition so they’re trivialising the issues spoken about by laughing a lot. It’s like the laughter is to lighten the motions , declarations and points of order. They’re really avoiding fierce intellectual debate by filling the air with whimsical gestures and catcalls. I’ve witnessed this behaviour from struggling students who are trying to avoid the task of learning. Create lots of laughter and that way any mistakes will be not taken so seriously. If this is what the coalition is up against they should be able to fast track all their policies through without any hindrance.
Maori need all that money their ELITE are raking in given out in Shareholder dividends or Maori land development. The only shareholder based organisation's Corporatikns or Company in NZ that gives it's Shareholders ZERO despite 100 Billion in asset and profits..Maori from Bluff tp Cape Reinga need to launch a joint action and Waitangi Tribunal Case and demand their shareholder dividends are paid. Or that every single block of Maori land is developed.
Can anyone point me to any footage of Matariki being celebrated in 2001 or 1988 or 1997 or 1975 or 1962? Just interested to see how it was celebrated....
NZ is a liberal democracy. At the heart of that is freedom of choice for every Nzer.The 1840 Treaty of Waitangi was a peace treaty between the British crown and the Maori chiefs and its tribes to end all warfare. It was never a governing constitution in the first place for either Maori or European. The NZ govt and its constitution is.
The government should not be funding Mataki at all! Do they fund Christmas? They are committed to spending three million every year... on a festival. We, as Kiwis, should be outraged by this blatant misuse of money. Maori can fund raise themselves.
WE REALLY WANT ACTION NOW NZ FIRST..NO HOMES..PEOPLE BEING KICKED TO THE STREETS..RENTS ARE CONTINUALLY TO RISE..IT SEEMS..THAT HOUSING NZ IS PRIORTISED TO MAORI..
It’s not only Māori that needs results it’s everybody to get out of this financial crisis time for parties to pull there heads in and focus as to why they are in parliament and not have private agenda angry people try to get even wise people forgive but intelligent people say nothing trying to think who said but will say nothing
At last a comment that makes sense instead of racists bashing Maori this comment is from a person who has real intelligence we have to work together all races to make better outcomes for all New Zealanders👍😊
the Point of Order, is , regard some, individual, (whom was a woodwork instructor at Saint Bedes, whom would rather influence his students, regard National Party stuff rather than , woodwork stuff)...Jerry Brownlee
Why are you guys pushing this on to us tho? You are the only people I hear talking about this. Its sad to see you guys try and divide us but funny as hell at the same time lol. I could have done a far superior job they all of you combined thats a fact lol. Bad script, bad acting, bad everything. Its acting id expect to see in Shortland street.
Matariki yet another public holiday businesses need to pay staff out but business owners don't get paid they pay out more and more holidays and sick leave making many businesses unviable! Or they severely cut staff numbers.
What funding is there available for Christmas, Labour Day, kings' birthday.................other pakeha holiday celebrations? it's a genuine question as I have no idea if there is any funding provided. Why should funding be provided for Māori cultural events are there any other non Māori cultural events that are funded so well and as 'popular"?
Maori, Maori, Maori, all what they want is money for themselves, we are all new Zealanders, it doesn't matter what race you are, Maori seem to think they are a race on it's own and think all Nzers owe them everything, we are all living under one umbrella, Stop living in past and move forward to bring this country back on track. Good on you, Shane Jones our next Maori leader for all race
What about EVERYONE ELSE and OTHER CULTURES that LIVE HERE IN NEW ZEALAND and pay taxes. All I EVER hear is what Maori want. It's TIME for ALL to be treated as EQUAL PLEASE!!!
Parliament needs Winston and Shane to keep it nutruel and honest. But I had to giggle at 5:23 when Winston said 'how about learn some basics about Maori culture', yet as a Maori he can't even pronounce the word 'Maori' correctly
Maori are heavily over-represented in the poor in NZ, yet the Coalition budget did absolutely nothing for the poor and in fact made matters worse, e.g. prescription charges. If NZ First wants results for Maori then they shouldnt backed the budget. Also perpetual leases on Maori land need to be sunsetted. If they were Pakeha leases they would have been sunsetted ages ago. If NZ First wants results for Maori then they need to move to sunset these perpetual leases. Action Shane Jones, not words.
where is my violin. My father came from Scotland at the end of the war with nothing. Met & married mum ( maori heritage) They got off their arses and worked. Had a dairy in the Harp of Erin near Ellerslie. Council stopped the trams and put on buses. The bus stopped outside a dairy up the road. They went bankrupt. Started from nothing, both worked, owned another house... Never a handout , hard work. We kids did the same.
Apart from cutting taxes and other legislation to drive down inflation which robs the poor disproportionately Giving poor people more free stuff doesn’t ultimately do them any good because it drives up inflation
You poor little boy. Maori aren't the only special so give it a miss. How about taking responsibility for yourselves and getting on with it, like every other New Zealander? Every Kiwi is special, OK?
Anyone would think that Maori are the only race who ever looked up and saw or navigated by the stars! FFS you don't own the heavens as well I hope! Move over 'Wise Men' Jesus was a Maori!
