A new Maori Party has been formed led by David Rankin who will challenge Hone Harawira in Te Tai Tokerau. The Hapu Party. Assuming they have met the electoral requirements their three major policies are;§ To have Maori eligible for the pension at age 56, because of the lower life-expectancy of Maori
§ To introduce a flat rate 18% personal tax and GST rate. "This will incentivise everyone in the country to earn more" says Mr Rankin.
§ To immediately allocate all treaty settlement money directly to hapu and marae
This could put the cat amongst the kereru.
Can't wait for the debate about the Super age. Based on the usual collectivist, special interest, left-wing notions why shouldn't Maori qualify earlier?
Why do we have a Ministry of Women's Affairs?
Why do we have separate Maori seats?
Why do we have a widow's benefit but no widower's benefit?
Think I might listen in to JT on Radio Live this afternoon.

Nothing to worry and little to fear about this "new" party.
Political associations based on race are doomed. Although the Maori has succeed in winning the Maori seats, its appeal is limited due to its racist nature.
the maori party are set up for reo buffs who have no respect too iwi or hapu history go the hapu party
