Now the government is to blame for Maori etc not owning homes.
Get with the basic’s here,
Get a Job, Save and buy a house
OR
Sit on your arse and be a bludger, and get nothing.
Simply put for the whingers about this, They Don’t own homes as they don’t WORK, The only way it could be the Governments fault, IS because they let the DOLE be a lifestyle rather than a short time fix.
They want to own homes, then they should get off their ARSE and earn a living
Lindsay Mitchell has been doing some research on where all the benefit babies are being born.
Unsurprisingly bludgers beget bludgers…and it’s growing.
Every year I track how many benefit babies there are relative to the total births. Being a ‘benefit baby’ means relying on a parent or caregiver’s benefit by the the end of their birth year. Most will become reliant nearer to their birth date rather than first birthday. Many will go on to experience long-term deprivation.
This year I asked for a breakdown by Work and Income Service Centre. That was provided. Then I asked the Ministry of Health for District Health Board birth data for 2015. They very quickly obliged without an OIA. Credit to them.
It was then straight forward to place each service centre in a DHB and calculate the percentage of babies in each district that would be benefit-dependent before their first birthday.
Gisborne (Tairawhiti) seems to be a problem area; perhaps this also explains why Gisborne is also the the clap capital of NZ.
TAIRAWHITI
Tairawhiti is Gisborne northwards. Almost one in three children born in 2015 would be on welfare either immediately or shortly thereafter.
This is more than three times the rate of the lowest DHB, Auckland.
AUCKLAND DISPARITYThe disparity, however, within the greater Auckland region is highlighted by the difference between Counties Manukau at 21.4% andAuckland at less than half that rate at 9.7%. This disparity is far greater than the disparity in the Wellington region (compare Capital and Coastto Hutt.)
HIGH MAORI POPULATIONS
Not surprisingly Tairawhiti is followed by Northland. You will have noticed the tallest columns are those with high Maori populations.(Of all the benefit babies, 54 percent had a Maori parent or caregiver.)
Lakes covers the Rotorua and Taupo region south to Turangi andWhanganui takes in Marton and Taihape.
Hawkes Bay goes to Wairoa in the north and Waipukarau in the south.Counties Manukau is self-explanatory.
These then are the five DHB areas where from 21 to 32 percent of children have families unable to support them independently, usually from birth.
COSMOPOLITAN CENTRES DOMINATE THE LOWEST RATES
At the other end are the cosmopolitan centres. In ascending order, Auckland, Christchurch, Dunedin and Wellington.
Every South Island DHB – bar South Canterbury which is essentially Timaru and inland – is below the national average.
What you are looking at there is where so-called child poverty begins and ends. Welfarism is killing generations slowly but surely.

Interesting Idea.
Is it for the Battles Maori won, or for the Battles that the British won ??
Either way, Maori don’t need to have a day off, Most have every day off.
In the end, it will be a reason to cause arguments and Shit stir for the few that do it for the sake of it.
What about a Day off for the working man, to celebrate the income to the country for working .
Rant Over
He got that one CORRECT.
Plain Lazy “UN-EMPLOYABLE” and cant give a F about working.
Don’t blame the Education system, as it works for the other races in this country.
Finance Minister Bill English is not backing down from his comments that some Kiwis hunting for work are “pretty damned hopeless” and “can’t read and write properly”.
At a Federated Farmers meeting in Feilding last week English said there was a “cohort of Kiwis now” who couldn’t get a licence because they were illiterate and “don’t look to be employable”.
His comments were directed at “young males” who didn’t turn up to work or didn’t stay on when offered a job.
Labour MP Iain Lees-Galloway was at that meeting and says the deputy prime minister’s comments were a “disgrace”.
In Question Time on Wednesday Lees-Galloway asked English whether he stood by another statement from that meeting – that one of the reasons why immigration is “a bit more permissive” is because Kiwis are “pretty damned hopeless”.
English says those comments were supported by what the Government heard from dozens of New Zealand employers.
“…many of the people on our MInistry of Social Development list will not show up to the jobs they are offered and will not stay in the jobs that they are offered”.
He said that was a “realistic description of the problems we are dealing with” and if Lees-Galloway couldn’t handle that, then “he is out of touch”.
Lees-Galloway said the comments show “the Government has given up on our young people and have no faith in their own education system”.
“It’s the Government that’s damned hopeless. Bill English himself passed that judgement when he claimed that after eight years of National Government the education system is turning out people who can’t read or write properly,” he said.
Been a hard year, Wife having the stroke, cutting back Work Hours to cover kids. Been a hard road for sure, No help sucked, But then I guess that’s just what happens when your white and work for yourself. Never been one for taking handouts anyway.
Lets hope this financial year works out better, Has to be as the ones I love are in the right side of the dirt pile. Kids are happy, Now to find a home as we just got notice we have to move. Bummer
Rant Over.
LOL, Another dumb statement.
A landmark ruling on the Treaty of Waitangi says Maori agreed to share power and authority with Britain, but did not agree to cede sovereignty over New Zealand.
The rangatira, or Maori leaders, who signed te Tiriti o Waitangi in February 1840 did not give up sovereignty to the British Crown, according to stage one of The Waitangi Tribunal’s inquiry into Te Paparahi o te Raki (the great land of the north) Treaty claims.
“That is, they did not cede authority to make and enforce law over their people or their territories,” the tribunal said.
*** from the Article 1 of the treaty it says. “cede to Her Majesty the Queen of England absolutely and without reservation all the rights and powers
of Sovereignty” ***
Shows they cant read their own treaty.
Shows that the Waitangi Tribunal is very racist indeed.
Sir Richard Attenborough has died
Another big loss
When you stuff up or put your foot in it.
The saying is
You done a Cunliffe

An inquiry has found that the cause behind the high rate of child abuse and domestic violence amongst Maori is rooted in colonisation.
The first report of the $3 million Glenn Inquiry called the ‘People’s Report’ into social problems was released on Monday and a blueprint for change would be released later in the year.
The report points to widespread dysfunction in the courts, particularly the Family Court, and broken, poorly resourced and disconnected social services as barriers to dealing with the problem of abuse.
The testimony of 500 survivors, frontline workers and offenders was recorded to highlight the depth of the problem and calls for a national strategy.
The report says Maori culture holds tamariki and wahine in high esteem. However, European colonisation taught tangata whenua new ways of privileging men – rendering women and children as possessions and contributing to male violence against them.”
What a load of crap that is. If that was the case, then Europeans would be doing the same thing.
Only thing the maori learnt at this point is to live on the dole and ask for hand outs.

Press Release
MAORI TO LAY CLAIM AGAINST KIM DOTCOM FOR CUSTOMARY MINING RIGHTS
Saturday 31 May 2014
Customary Data Mining Rights bottom line issue, says Harawira
Te Tai Tokerau Maori are laying claim to their part of all Internet data under the Treaty of Waitangi.
Mana Party leader Hone Harawira said that “Knowledge and information isn’t owned by any one entity, and knowledge and information existed well before the Internet came along.”
“As a result, Northland Maori lay claim to their share of all of Kim Dotcom’s income he has derived from the Internet”.
An exact amount hasn’t been suggested, but talks are being scheduled.
“Public reports of income in excess of $200 million make Northland Maori believe that, our customary data mining rights can lay claim to a significant proportion of this”, Harawira said.
He added: “I do not believe this is going to stand in the way of the Internet Mana Party in the near future, but I do expect our customary data mining rights to be recognised before the election”.
