Key Government, ignores plea for equality by Iwi Hapu and Whanau


The appointment of over 300 foreign pakeha to top posts throughout Government and no Iwi or tangata whenua has angered Iwi independence Paati Senior Political Analyst Geoffrey Karena. Saying it is another reason why up to 30% of Iwi will not participate in electing these totalitarian white supremacist invaders.

In the run up to the last election, as part of Nationals promise to Iwi they promised that Iwi would have a more prominent role to play in society, indeed in Government and appointments to such posts would have illustrated this commitment. Even if at least half of the three hundred high paying posts dished out by the government had gone to Iwi applicants would have signaled to Iwi that there was more commitment by government to fixing the apparent disparities between iwi and pakeha.

The Iwi independence Paati therefore would like to see this charade reversed
and that the will of Iwi for self-determination and independence through a fairer distribution of high paying positions be a priority. The reality for Iwi, Hapu and whanau is that we are through birth the rightful owners of this land and by that right we can decide what we feel are appropriate employment opportunities. This total disregard for iwi employment aspirations means that half of these high paying positions have been like our whenua stolen by pakeha foreigners. In addition, we believe all diplomatic posts be filled by Tangata Whenua.

Thence this Government has a lot to answer for after 101 days running the ship, perhaps they feel these positions are considered inappropriate for Iwi whatever the reason there is no excuse. If there were no applications from Iwi then the position should have been given to a quota system for iwi said Mr. Karena we do it for law students why not for positions of responsibility.

Hence the iwi independence paati pass a vote of "no confidence" to this Government and feel that Cabinet be taken to task for allowing this non-compliance to the promises of our ancestors to come to fruition, particularly if 50% of the applicants for any high flying posts are not guaranteed to Iwi. Through this obviously biased appointment process, it is clear to the Iwi Independence Paati that the colonial ideology of this government is misaligned and pathetic it is as if they are in denial. It seems Iwi have been relegated to the periphery of a society that is intent on remaining as the last flagship of a dying commonwealth.
