1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,120
Speaker 1: When a government has to issue an email directive the

2
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:05,880
Speaker 1: way they did on Friday over race, there is something

3
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:08,680
Speaker 1: profoundly wrong with this country. Essentially, it says the public

4
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:12,719
Speaker 1: service read health, education, justice, welfare cannot act on race,

5
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:16,720
Speaker 1: cannot see race as an individual entitlement that allows services

6
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 1: or money or support to be determining by way of

7
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:22,720
Speaker 1: a criteria. This is part of the coalition agreements, as

8
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,639
Speaker 1: indicated by ACT in New Zealand. First National Party supporters

9
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 1: might want to ask why they didn't have it as

10
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 1: part of their criteria as well. The idea that one

11
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:34,519
Speaker 1: race trump's another is absurd, It's unfair. It leads nowhere

12
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 1: good if you're after good race relations and the harmonious existence.

13
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,640
Speaker 1: Now the Murray Party called it anti Maarri, which shows

14
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 1: their level of ignorance. Unless the Murray Party argues Murray

15
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:45,240
Speaker 1: deserve things that no one else gets, and I don't

16
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 1: think even they would be that extreme. We're all equal, basically,

17
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 1: we are all equal. I've never been able to ascertain

18
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 1: why that concept is so hard to grasp. The fact

19
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 1: it's taking the government this long to issue the SEJCT

20
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 1: must also be of concern. David Seymour suggested it's been

21
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 1: a bit compl has it. How what we also need

22
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: to be concerned about, as we saw last week, is

23
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 1: in Hawks Bay pushback. So for a so called colorblind

24
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,399
Speaker 1: public service, we've got nothing of the sort. You can't

25
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:16,679
Speaker 1: hand out health based on race, and yet that's exactly

26
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 1: what they were doing. You can't unilaterally invent MA re

27
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: seats at council level, and yet counsels are threatening now

28
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 1: lawyers in a local body sort of version of a

29
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 1: tenty because the government's changed the law. Meantime, the Waitangi

30
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 1: Tribunal continues to pump out findings like confetti race unfairly

31
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:36,479
Speaker 1: dealt with cripples countries. We have enough to worry about

32
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 1: these days without something or someone that really is so

33
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: simple to administer. We are all equal, We all have

34
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: equal access to everything. Democracy, health, education and welfare need

35
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: not race. How hard can it be? For more from

36
