We have been lacking in those two aspects for years.<br />The new system will appear to have accountability but will be like that link to the green Wizard of Oz that I put up from time to time. And Maori will feel uneasy but will not have a clear target to criticise, because there will be Maori at the top table so that would be dissing their own.greywarblernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3753486518085091399.post-34632079744803656972021-11-16T18:17:55.140+13:002021-11-16T18:17:55.140+13:00The government says density is "growing up&qu...The government says density is "growing up".

How much coolaid must they drink to still believe that they are unbiased speakers of facts and truth. How can they not see what so many others can, that they are simply government mouthpieces, parroting what they are fed.<br /><br />Maybe they are just desperate to jump on the government PR grave train. Happy to sell out the people of NZ for a gold plated government pension.

As Vance cheerily admitted elsewhere in her article, this government has a "co-governance" agenda. She did not elaborate that this means 17 percent of the population or more likely the tribal corporations will hold 50 percent of the franchise and an effective veto under Mahuta's proposal. That template means the end of democracy and accountability in New Zealand. It is unbelievable that a mainstream political party could embrace such a doctrine.Trev1https://www.blogger.com/profile/00271717267778957672noreply@blogger.com
