  1. SPC 1

    Politics in the media and neutrality in the public service.

    First they came for the appointments to the Te Whetu Ora board, then Pharmac, then ACC, then they came for the Minister.

    A shadow play of the “black mirror” on Capitol Hill …

  2. SPC 2

    Another story that suggests a conflict between white race religious evangelism and any diminishment to an established colonial order.

    We've been through our own empire to commonwealth phase with locally born Governor Generals, then belated formal recognition of the Treaty within legislation, now its with obligations expected by the UN as to the place of indigenous peoples.

    A lot of people don’t agree with cogovernance SPC. It is not necessarily a right wing religious thing

    • observer 3.1

      Maybe, but you should know who these people are. Head in the sand is not good enough. Their agenda and actions are disturbing.

      Extremist rhetoric and (oh, irony) rejecting free speech … cutting off the mic when the "wrong" people try to talk!

      • Stuart Munro 3.1.1

        That may be one group, but is he typical or representative?

        Treaty interpretations accepted in legal circles are not necessarily widely embraced.

        Nor was the co-governance model proposed for 3 Waters the only way Treaty obligations could be respected.

        For my own part, any government unilaterally diluting the already risible level of representation I enjoy has an extraordinary case to make.
