      What's really happening is hat the Mayor wants to put in two of his mates whom he can sack if they don' t vote they way he wants. He's made a comment in recent times (accidentally) that that's what the game plan is . The Taxpayer's Union has highlighted that. They set upa a email in call the other day to try to get the councilors to kill this decision by the mayor. It almost worked. But not quite.

      THE TREATY OF WAITANGI
      Victoria, The Queen of England, in her concern to protect the chiefs and subtribes of New Zealand and in her desire to preserve their chieftainship and their lands to them and to maintain peace and good order considers it just to appoint an administrator one who will negotiate with the people of New Zealand to the end that their chiefs will agree to the Queen's Government being established over all parts of this land and (adjoining) islands and also because there are many of her subjects already living on this land and others yet to come.
      So the Queen desires to establish a government so that no evil will come to Maori and European living in a state of lawlessness.
      So the Queen has appointed me, William Hobson, a captain in the Royal Navy to be Governor for all parts of New Zealand (both those) shortly to be received by the Queen and (those) to be received hereafter and presents to the chiefs of the Confederation chiefs of the subtribes of New Zealand and other chiefs these laws set out here.
      The First
      The chiefs of the Confederation and all the chiefs who have not joined that Confederation give absolutely to the Queen of England for ever the complete government over their land.
      The Second
      The Queen of England agrees to protect the Chiefs, the subtribes and all the people of New Zealand in the unqualified exercise of their chieftainship over their lands, villages and all their treasures. But on the other hand the Chiefs of the Confederation and all the chiefs will sell land to the Queen at a price agreed to by the person owning it and by the person buying it (the latter being) appointed by the Queen as her purchase agent.
      The Third
      For this agreed arrangement therefore concerning the Government of the Queen, the queen of England will protect all the ordinary people of New Zealand and will give them the same rights and duties of citizenship as the people of England.
      (signed) William Hobson
      Consul and Lieutenant-Governor
      So we, the Chiefs of the Confederation and the subtribes of New Zealand meeting here at Waitangi having seen the shape of these words which we accept and agree to record our names and marks thus.
      Was done at Waitangi on the sixth of February in the year of our Lord 1840.

      @@Moanarose88 The Musket Wars were a series of as many as 3,000 battles and raids fought throughout New Zealand (including the Chatham Islands) among Māori between 1806 and 1845, after Māori first obtained muskets and then engaged in an intertribal arms race in order to gain territory or seek revenge for past defeats. The battles resulted in the deaths of between 20,000 and 40,000 people and the enslavement of tens of thousands of Māori and significantly altered the rohe, or tribal territorial boundaries, before the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi in 1840. THIS is why the treaty was signed - for protection from each other!

      THE TREATY OF WAITANGI
      Victoria, The Queen of England, in her concern to protect the chiefs and subtribes of New Zealand and in her desire to preserve their chieftainship and their lands to them and to maintain peace and good order considers it just to appoint an administrator one who will negotiate with the people of New Zealand to the end that their chiefs will agree to the Queen's Government being established over all parts of this land and (adjoining) islands and also because there are many of her subjects already living on this land and others yet to come.
      So the Queen desires to establish a government so that no evil will come to Maori and European living in a state of lawlessness.
      So the Queen has appointed me, William Hobson, a captain in the Royal Navy to be Governor for all parts of New Zealand (both those) shortly to be received by the Queen and (those) to be received hereafter and presents to the chiefs of the Confederation chiefs of the subtribes of New Zealand and other chiefs these laws set out here.
      The First
      The chiefs of the Confederation and all the chiefs who have not joined that Confederation give absolutely to the Queen of England for ever the complete government over their land.
      The Second
      The Queen of England agrees to protect the Chiefs, the subtribes and all the people of New Zealand in the unqualified exercise of their chieftainship over their lands, villages and all their treasures. But on the other hand the Chiefs of the Confederation and all the chiefs will sell land to the Queen at a price agreed to by the person owning it and by the person buying it (the latter being) appointed by the Queen as her purchase agent.
      The Third
      For this agreed arrangement therefore concerning the Government of the Queen, the queen of England will protect all the ordinary people of New Zealand and will give them the same rights and duties of citizenship as the people of England.
      (signed) William Hobson
      Consul and Lieutenant-Governor
      So we, the Chiefs of the Confederation and the subtribes of New Zealand meeting here at Waitangi having seen the shape of these words which we accept and agree to record our names and marks thus.
      Was done at Waitangi on the sixth of February in the year of our Lord 1840.

      The ratepayers of most other Councils in NZ have shown a lot better sense than the residents of Tauranga - perhaps they are not capable of selecting and filling the Tauranga Council seats with people who represent their opinions. Perhaps time to put in another Commissioner to run their city if they don't have the 'nouse' to do it themselves?

      Well, that is interesting because the BORA mentions it being illegal to discriminate based on race. If you appoint someone to a position based on race and it isn't open to other races then it seems to be an explicit violation of that act. But then we also get into the issue of Maori seats in Parliament which is the same problem.
      I think the crux of the matter here is that the BORA does not have constitutional supremacy in law. Which basically means that activist judges can pretend it doesn't exist when faced with competing demands. I personally think NZ is a sad joke when it comes to law... we have so many laws that contradict others... and unlike the USA we don't' have a clear hierarchy to determine what is most important. And of course that is just the tip of the iceberg.

    Wow, disappointed you're so bigoted that you can't see the bigger picture.
    Maybe you should talk to the Mayor about the sound economic, social and consultative reasons behind it instead of jumping on a soap box, and be aware that should council disagree with the decisions a committee reaches, the council still has veto power.
    It's one vote, and a voice, among many, on the committees (not full council) and should save a lot of time and $ in the long run by helping reduce consultative stresses.

    Te Tiriti ensures Māori are at the decision table. Partnership ensures that all laws passed meet matauranga and ecological criteria that affect all New Zealanders.

      I wonder how a person feels being given a job based on their ethnicity and not their ability to do the job or earn the position for themself? It's like being given first prize for something you never took part in.

      Because democracy includes one person one vote and with Pakeha existing in greater numbers than Indiginous Maori, each voting along race interests, the Maori vote will invariably never prevail. Only the descendents of the colonisers vote will. This is when democracy fails. It seems as though this unfair weighting in favor of the colonisers can be addressed by representatives of tangata whenua Maori being included by appointment. That is the compromise. Maori themselves may want to consider choosing their Council appointees by a democratic vote, but in any event, that would be their decision to consider making. Realizing that whatever they do in public office will be scrutinized, analyzed, commented on and disagreed over and resented, It seems natural to conclude that Maori would be certain to dot the eys and cross the tee's by their legal representatives before they appointed anybody.
