Te Ao Māori

"The promises made by Te Tiriti o Waitangi have been ripped apart in the centuries since it was created. Decades of oppression have led to a society where Māori earn less, are more likely to be homeless, and have totally lost their rights to self-determination. The Socialist Alliance will reverse this oppression and will build a world where Māori and Pākehā are equal."

- gavingrotegut, Former Minister of Māori Affairs
