The proffesor is shining light in dark situation
A courageous academic. I can only imagine the level and intensity of the flak she must encounter from other academics.
So reassuring hearing a coherant insider talk about something so important
A wonderful piece of journalism, MSM hang your heads in shame.
What a beautifully spoken women , and a true understanding of what is happening in NEW ZEALAND.
Unfortunately when the Government brings in STRICT Hate speech laws it is going to be a crime to Discuss this subject 🤪🤐
I get the impression that Prof Rata is a very humble person. Increasingly rare these days? Thank you.
Very good Sean first free speech talk I've personally listened to, much more of this needed. I'm lonely for intelligent conversation. My brain is wasting away, and thousands of others too I'd say thanks
SEAN, please, please let your guests say what they are trying to say without constantly!interrupting them. I for one like to listen to what someone like Elizabeth Rata has to say.
I once heard that the duty of tenure is to represent ones position with integrity and honesty when called upon. Where are all those tenured academics now? Scared silent?!
Scientific method, absolutely. The tragedy is that the Royal Society of New Zealand, itself doesn’t know what the scientific method is. Extraordinary since its parent - the Royal Society founded about 1650, established essentially what the scientific method is - “Upon the word of no one”.
Very Transparent interview 😊
Brave woman and absolutely correct. Free speech,democracy and scientific rigour are worth fighting for. Not this bullying by the Māori party of every other cultures and race.
Thank goodness for Professor Rata
What a wake up call
We need more people like Professor Rata . Thank you .
The greatest censorship we've all experienced was the pandemic...
the govt is the only source of truth
Oh shush you "antivax nutter" (Sean's words for describing those in the know)
An on going experiment we are all apart of whoop whoop
This is exactly what is needed at this time. Intelligent professional people prepared to talk truth in the face of distorted facts and outright lies.
It seems to me that those who are attempting to destroy our founding document are going unchallenged by those who should be leading the charge and presenting the actual facts of the matters under attack.
Academic Freedom Survey 2023 by the Free Speech Union Executive Summary.
The proportion who are very or somewhat comfortable to discuss each are:
1. Religion 63%
2. Politics 62%
3. Sexual Orientation 54%
4. Sex and Gender 50%
5. Race 45%
6. Treaty/colonialism 41%
In all areas, at least one in three academics were loath to discuss issues in those areas. With issues around race, colonialism and the Treaty, fewer than half are comfortable.
The results here should be treated cautiously as the sample sizes can be quite small, but generally what we found in terms of freedom to discuss unpopular or controversial ideas:
• Female academics felt more free than male academics
• Younger academic felt more free
• European academics felt less free
• Academics whose political orientation was very left or left felt much more free than academics
who were centrist or right.
• Lincoln academics felt most free and AUT least free but again this is based on small sample sizes • Professors felt less free than other academics
• Academics in the business and science disciplines felt less free
Thanks for that info. Very interesting!
Somewhat mirroring the social media discourse online
Great interview, very worrying nz has been slowly moving towards communism for the past 50 years. We hopefully can turn it around. Who funds the universities. Follow the money. Is China, Russia or north Korea involved. Where are the foreign students coming from.
Great conversation Sean. Question. Does this mean the end of academia and a law that is fair and just?
Yes.
I often cringe when I listen to academics. It reminds me of my time at University. They seldomly liked a dissenting voice and generally used “cancel” tactics to stymie debate. Rata is cool. Probably because I share her ideology.
Interesting to hear this term , retribalization.
She has something important to say but sound quality was unfortunately poor. I’m in a tertiary institution which is now under the umbrella of Te Pukenga, and as far as I’m aware, we haven’t been asked to do the survey. Was it just universities? The polytechnic sector would be useful to survey as well.
What a great person
He just cannot stop speaking over his guest!
Maori are not indigenous. Or native.
First nation.
Critical thinking?
Or Critical Theory? Whats the difference?
facts
Take note politians, there is a very real problem in this country. Who is going to change this, you made it.
Get rid of these Woke politicians starting with the Labour Greens and the Maori party. Don’t vote for any of these scumbags.
"Taonga' now means the claiming of "fisheries" "languages" and "artifacts" and other "treasures" whereas in the Maori dictionaries of 1840 composed by Thomas Kendall in 1820 with the assistance of Chiefs Waikato and Hongi Hika the word "taonga" meant "property acquired by the long spear." A reference to the whalers using a long spear. It later became fashionable for Maori to use the word "taonga" or "property" in reference to acquiring European trade goods. The 1850 English translation of the Treaty in English named the Text in English came to interpret this very meaning. Thus the original text in Maori defines 'Taonga' as property not as fisheries.
Sean these lawyer people from the law society review panel cant even put a sentence together or answer your points of That you put in plain terms its like listening to babbling fools
I have met numerous white or European looking people who say they are maori so what identifies a person as a Maori?
belief in the freedom of BS
Pure hatred and disregard for the fact our ancestors were the most benevolent empire in all of history and we won against a bunch of slave owning cannibalistic savages. That and being historically illiterate.
Maoris have European DNA. They are part of the "problem" they claim to have.
Bloodline.
@@Natalie-rr2fj What TPTB are incapable of controlling is the
Awakening of The People to the BS, gaslighting, fake information and real manipulation.
Can't lie to all The People all the time after they have seen how the tricks are worked on them.
The owners of politicians attempted suppression of free speech, which is expression of free thought has not worked. Eventually The People get tired of playing along to get along and walk away from fraud.
@@Natalie-rr2fj That's like saying put a Ford hubcap on a holden and it makes it a Ford
So in saying all that; who has the power in NZ to change any legislation in order for all this to happen today?
It would be interesting to see a physics lecture done in Te Reo, there is not the vocabulary for it.
'cause physics is racist bro. 😂 we all know physics wasn't mentioned in the treaty, therefore it's colonialist revisionism,
😂
@@_-.Everlast.-_ the thought of teaching physics in a language, which is spoken by a culture that didn't figure out the bow and arrow is hilarious.
"Ki nga rangatira, ki nga hapu" and "wenua o ratou" used in the original treaty document could be interpreted as "to the chiefs, to the tribes" and "the latter land." The original treaty therefore could be interpreted to cover only those areas of New Zealand that were directly inhabited by Maori at that time.
The Act of 1975 deleted those nine words and the Labour Government under Matt Rata ministerial role altered the treaty to "guarantees ownership of all land to all the Maori people in New Zealand. The Act of 1975 bears little resemblance to the document signed by Governor Hobson and the Maori chiefs of 1840.
Well, there is always Australia to move to if this retribalisation BS is going ahead. Lucky that.
BSA recently released decisions?
My mate kella said we can all speak freely at vic uni. When uni's close down due to funding missmanagement will parrots like him go to Poly tech? i look forward to the platform's next exciting episode of wokey wednesday
Is this discussuon about chemistry? Engineering? Or are they focusing on arts?
We don't need Anthropology and Mata Māori. Science is being thrown under the bus!
Mātauranga Māori and science are like music and TV. There is almost no way that you can compare them, but they are both useful, and there are many ways where you can use them together. To say that music is TV is absurd and quite wrong. It's the same with mātauranga Māori and science.
Left wing echo chambers is being to kind Sean. They are Marxist/CCP ideology indoctrination institutions being run by those who have graduated from said institutions.
Scorched values of the woke is everywhere.,. Andrew Tate come save nz …. Come on Sean get him on watch your listeners triple x 19
Tate probably wouldn’t entertain a vaxtard like Sean
Not only is this BS re the Treaty BS stuff and the dumbing down of standards.

who the hell (within reality) would any Academic and Intelligent individual want to expose themselves on this "Sean Plunket Program."
to myself, in reality, they belittle themselves, to engage in conversation with this ...."Sean Plunket" ....and of course , as a person wanting of Importance,,,,!!
What media platform would you advocate Fergus ? Perhaps a govnt narrated one ? Do you live in a bubble ?
I usually feel pretty censored
