Auckland Council, the Crown and tangata whenua are proposing a formal deed of acknowledgement to help guide the protection of Te Wao Nui a Tiriwa. #Trampstodon #Aotearoa #NZ #Hiking #Tramping #CoGovernance #Indigedon #Indigenous
I wonder how it might change the discourse around "Co-Governance" if we gave expanded it to the phrase it implies; Cooperative Governance".
The project to build the new bridge over the Waikato was co-governed with mana whenua. Resulting in a novel design that respected the mauri of the awa, requiring no piles in the riverbed. The majority of the design and fabrication work was done onshore.
A fitting tribute to the legacy of Kiingi Tūheitia.
"[Former Police Commissioner Mike] Bush recommends formalising iwi partnerships at all civil defence levels, including nationally with NEMA."

Oh no we can't do that. It sounds a lot like [stage whisper] "co-governance"! 
@strypey I don’t recall the actual numbers but I once heard that the total of all claims to date is (again probably wrong) 2/6th of estimated total and the country can’t afford to pay that now, so we do need to work together so we can find equity and justice for those who have been dispossessed and disempowered. #Māori #CoGovernance

"We’re seeing it now in the conversation around co-governance. And, when there’s a peak in these claims and assertions of Māori privilege, then historically at least, we’ve seen that Māori have lost things.
Notions of privilege, first used to systematically dispossess and marginalise Māori, are being redeployed to consolidate the power imbalance established in the previous centuries."

Apartheid was a system of rigid segregation along racial lines, violently enforced against the indigenous populations of South Africa, by a minority settler government:

Like all systems of violent colonisation, it was an abomination and I'm very proud of the role that the left in Aotearoa played in supporting the indigenous organisations that eventually defeated it.
(1/?)
Unfortunately history is repeating itself and I'm pretty sure Julian Batchelor is in cahoots with the right wing political parties just like the Exclusive Brethren of yesteryear.
The similarities of the dirty undemocratic politics of Don Brash's National party and the National party of today are palpable

Pure cowardice from the Auckland Council to cancel *both* events:
