Treaty and schools:
Government to remove requirement for boards to give effect to Te Tiriti o Waitangi
The Government will remove a requirement for school boards to give effect to Te Tiriti o Waitangi, but will still make clear they should seek to achieve equitable outcomes for Māori students.
Education Minister Erica Stanford said the current legislated requirement means parents in charge of governance of local schools are expected to “interpret and implement a Treaty obligation that rightfully sits with the Crown”.
“School boards play an important role in raising achievement. But they cannot and should not carry the Crown’s constitutional obligations under the Treaty,” she said.
“Their focus should be on the practical things that make a difference for students: ensuring children are turning up to school, progressing in their learning, and succeeding.”
The current legislation came into effect in 2020 and Stanford said the Treaty clause had “made no difference to raising the achievement of tamariki Māori”.

Little by little, you can even screw Labour.
not really, they just removed the words “give effect to the treaty” but kept all the same requirements and pandering to maori including “ensuring equitable outcome for maori”.
all they really done was remove the treaty coloured lipstick from a pig and we still left with a pig.
What does that bs even mean? To me, achieving an equitable outcome means that if they fuck around, they fail.
I would read it as saying that no special privileges, as all kids should have the same opportunity. If that means extra help, so be it.
youre a gullable old coot, its fucking weasel word political speak for “continue on as planned just call it a different name”.
you miss the fucking point that NEED not race is what it should be focused on. ALL kids falling behind should be helped the same, not extra special stuff for brown kids
but but the poo skins need extra special stuff..b’cos everyone says so, eh JT, WJ and any other murri loving grifter.
I think JT has had more than his fair share.
If it has a mortgage on it, he might have to trade down.
Did we really have a Navy fit for any purpose?
The Royal NZ Navy is undergoing a major overhaul following the sinking of the HMNZS Manawanui off Samoa last year, the Herald understands.
The New Zealand Defence Force (NZDF) has implemented major changes, including risk management training across the Navy and new training for senior leadership.
It has also set up a new sea-readiness board called the New Zealand Defence Force Maritime Authority. It will oversee seaworthiness systems and ensure they are “safe to operate and operated safely”.
Further work is imminent. Improving training will be a strong focus: figuring out requirements for roles, the exact training individuals will need for those roles and keeping track of staff training histories.
https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/big-changes-to-navy-after-manawanui-sinking-as-court-martial-decision-looms/JWOSIYBDJVAERF7T2S3YLV2QMY/
So basic.
Obviously more important to be gender fluid and treaty indoctrinated, dressed in nice uniforms, eating at our expense and pissing in polis pockets.
Wasn’t Collins in charge at some stage?
in their last term in Govt.
The Navy had already admitted systemic failings were in part behind the loss of the $100 million ship, even as Minister of Defence Judith Collins vigorously defended Manawanui captain Yvonne Gray over “misogynist” attacks online.
Risk Management – 1. If you take your Bitch with you and are rooting in the cabin, the ship may hit a reef.
Role Requirement – 1 The Captain is to be in charge and control the ship and its crew in a proper manner, as it used to be.
2 The pop group members – Village People – (Y.M.C.A. – In The Navy ) are not suitable for employment in the navy…or any of the Armed Services.
3 All Appointments and Promotions will be strictly on merit and achievement.
Well, one would expect that, but apparently those were not the rules.
Are there special privileges for the rest of the Navy, so they get over their hurty feelings?
Can’t just introduce new rules and regulations, ya know!
They will be wanting more money, extra time in the broom cupboard.
a chick i went to school with joined the navy… cuz her step brother she was in love with joined and they couldnt stay seperated.
yup weirdos join the navy, she probs got in under some weird family love dei thing. at least she was only in charge of cooking cuz shes as smart as a sack of bricks so weve probably avoided creating a few more submarines.
you are still paying her.
nah her step bro got sick of her so now shes living sad, unemployed and lonely in west otago
Her and her stepbrother will be breeding loons and it could be an Admiral in tomorrows navy.
I did not realise that “the allocation system of first in, first served, and that therefore grandfathers all those people that have those rights,” was a Legal obligation in this country, but according to the part Maori, Kingi Smiler, it is and so on that basis Maori get, according to Mr Smiler, to control all water in this country.
Now, I thought most of the water falling in this country was sucked out of the Indian Ocean by heat generated in that region. If that is the case, at what point does Mr Smiler and his band of half breeds claim ownership of water, when it reaches the outer limits of the 200 mile EEZ or the 12 mile Territorial limit or when it hits their claimed land, or in the case of Tainui, when rainwater hits Tuwharetoa claimed land on the slopes of Mt Ruapehu and runs down the Tongariro River, through Lake Taupo and onto the sea at Port Waikato, so at which point does it become Tainui owned water, at the Control Gates of the Waikato in Taupo, before that or after that, it is all an undefined mystery?
Whatever it is, some woke Liberal judge will Rule, Maori, whatever the definition of what a Maori maybe will get ownership, no Government will have the Balls to challenge it and you, the well battered Taxpayer will fund it, probably funding it much like this case.

The foot was wrong it have been a LEFT foot.
With ownership comes responsibility!
Maori had better take claim for all the damage weather events do!
LOL, responsibility! That’s a white persons construct. Not for the brown fellas eh! Another day, another $1billion grift in bludgers world 💩🤡
Morning all.
.
A full blooded Maori, I can only assume, being, one Donald Jessep, carved this.
“Jessep’s design of the pou and the toki, or carving tool, were blessed by local kaumatua.”
It appears that Mr Jessep’s foot may have been the carving tool or at least the design for this hideous piece.
https://www.times.co.nz/art-entertainment/east-auckland-kindy-receives-special-carving/
55000 years old? Really!
Something a bit disturbing about the foot-hole-thing in the middle.
It’s also pisses me off that the “traditional maori carvers” use steel tools. I mean WTF? If that isn’t cultural appropriation, then what is? And it makes a mockery of their ancestors’ craft (for which I have respect).
Hope the kids use it as a rubbish receptacle. A few apple cores through the foot hole can only improve it.
Send the hidious thing back or use it for firewood.
I was going to say that it was the ugliest thing I’ve seen so far this morning… and then I saw the three simpering fools standing alongside it.
If the wood and the carving of it were truly donated, the carver must not have a day job as it took him three years although it allowed him a lot of ‘mat time’ with the children (whatever that may mean).
I see there is a pre colonial dog sticking out the side of that monstrosity. You have to wonder if he carved it out of a 55000 year old ugly tree while tripping and then beat the two women standing there with it.
Well I have read some shit in my lifetime but that lot is up there. I see you could spend the next 4min32seconds of your day listening to it. I did notice that the carver appears to have about Maori blood in him as I do – he looked very Scottish with his kilt on when off to a family wedding – F/B.
Guess we will never know who paid how much for it all.
“Well I have read some shit in my lifetime “. And the Eastern wants you to subscribe for more of the same.
HP, I bet I know who paid for it,
It will be the long suffering Taxpayer, no one else.

Michael Laws on Ngai Tahu demanding “compensation” from Oceana Gold
Michael Laws on Ngai Tahu demanding “compensation” from mining company Oceana Gold for offending their “cultural values.
waikatogirl
So guess who tried to grift more money from Oceana, and were turned down?
Sadly, in mining, this is not unknown, and is indeed expected as a hazard to taking out mining leases.
Sadly, no matter what the mining companies do, it always comes back to money.
Faced with that ‘option’, many companies tend to close down – it’s simply not worth the effort, and guess which group squeals very loudly when this happens.
(A clue: They aren’t pale skinned).
Just love the picketers sign, “Face the music”.
Would be nice but I don’t ever want the bitch back, unless it was in handcuffs.

Landmark court case over Māori rights to freshwater begins: What’s going on?
The case was raised by Kingi Smiler, chairman of the Wai Mana Whenua group. Photo / Te Korimako o Taranaki
In a landmark case, a group representing Māori landowners and hapū across the country is fighting the Government in court over freshwater rights.
The case centres on assurances given by former Deputy Prime Minister Sir Bill English in 2012 that Māori had rights and interests in freshwater and geothermal resources.
The group says successive governments have failed to act on English’s “solemn promise”, instead pushing Māori out of the freshwater allocation process while the country’s waterways, rivers and lakes become increasingly polluted.
The case was raised by Kingi Smiler, chairman of the Wai Mana Whenua group, a national coalition of Māori landowners, hapū and iwi. It also includes national organisations like the Federation of Māori Authorities (Foma).
The case began in the High Court in Wellington today.
It is not about ownership of the water but recognition that Māori were afforded certain rights to freshwater resources under the Treaty, which was backed up by English’s assurance, and that those rights are not being honoured.
