Gist is that the government officials decided they could reinterpret the law that governed relations between the colonial govt and the natives to their own benefit and people got pissed.

I often ask for local perspective on the news. As you might have noticed, not all news sources are reliable, and Google is paid to feed you the results rich people want you to see.

That video was wild. That's a fierce woman that started the Haka.

Right wing dipshits are trying to "all lives matter" the treaty of Waitangi. They copped a Haka to the face

From what i googled (ahem), the Maori dont want to pass a bill that may affect them but the other side said it will benefit all of NZ. i posted to see if someone can add to it.

Why are people asking questions in a question asking forum? Why won't people just stay in their little SEO bubble and stop trying to have a soupçon of human interaction? I am so annoyed with this trend of reaching out to other people for consensus or understanding! I'd block this community, but I'd rather ask condescending questions instead

Why you gotta go and make things so complicated?

You forgot you are in the community for asking these kinds of questions. You don't seem so smart. Is that why you're hanging around the community for learning? Good on you for trying to improve! Don't listen to what literally everyone else who knows you says, you have a chance!
