Rogernomics, neoliberal labour in the 80’s completely gutted whole communities. The great urbanisation of Māori in the 50’s/60’s moving from rural areas to work in factories in the cities lost their jobs when manufacturing and freezing works went to the wall would play a huge part in this. When these “so called experts” talk about colonialisation being the reason for the woeful Māori stats - that’s all bullshit. Have a look at Māori suicide stats, they were well below that of non Māori - until 1990 and then they kicked off big time, now they are nearly double other ethnicities. Have a look at Māori home ownership up until 1990ish - and home ownership in general, gone are the days when one working parent could pay off a mortgage. The issue has been made worse by the various remedies successive Govts have introduced including victim enhancement and welfare dependency. Progressive Academics are fuelling the fire with no solution offered apart from Marxist ideals and use the plight of Māori for their communist utopia agenda. Jobs is what will turn it around, jobs that can actually build a future. Bring back trade schools, defund sociology degrees, and apprenticeships.
