This is simply pathetic.
We should all just stop paying taxes until this bs is stopped.
@paulallen5025 - Agreed. A "tax strike" can be very effective.
There have been many historical instances of tax strikes / rebellions -
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_historical_acts_of_tax_resistance
Bloody oath a tax strike. Inflation is a illegal tax implemented upon us for illegitimate reasons?
Wish I could … unfortunately $$$ just get taken, but agree wholeheartedly with your opinion
What is fiat currency... a belief system right? What is inflation? Topping up failed belief. Wonder why.
Yeah, stop paying taxes. You try that first and let the rest of us know how that works out for you.
Imagine the tax cuts we could have if this BS was binned.
Yes, still so much wastage going on in wellington. For example, Womens affairs could be axed since no-one in Wellington knows what a woman is.
@@andrewm8610I know what a woman is 🤔😏🥴
No. Imagine the crippling national debt we could pay back. So future generations do not have to suffer.
Public servants with this mindset need to go.
As do those MPs that go along with this shit. Leave them on the back bench until the next election, then show them the door.
I left the public service due to this WOKE BS .promotion depended on you being, woman,lesbians, LGBTQ, gay,queer, non white and ascribed to the Diversity and equity ideology.
Now happy in retirement 😊
As someone that is paying $26,000 out of pocket for heart surgery because of our broken health system I find this beyond offensive.
Absolutely scandalous. Please, Sean, get a government minister on to explain this.
What waste about tax paying money?
I hope this nonsense has stopped.
We need to start moving on as one people and stop this nonsense
This is our tax money been squandered here and I sure as hell don't approve.
Agree.
And there i was thinking my tax dollars being spent were being scutinised as hard as we spend our own money ....
More Maori claptrap taking money they don't deserve
Brown grifting
yes just found out that about 60 went overseas to do the haka
Please stop this utter waste, 650k for that looney uni is outrageous.
get these people on the show and ask them what they are up to . . .
We already know, its smoke and mirrors to extract money
and luxon
It seems that (((they))) don't want to be answerable!! 🤔
@judithclark4184 Fat chance it takes a man with a pr of b@lls and that's a big ask of Luxflakes and Bishop the right of centre Wokies, so pleased I voted NZF and not National
ACT should threaten to "pull the plug" on the coalition unless this rubbish spending (and lots more like it) is axed.
Womens Affairs, Human Wrongs Commission, Waitangi Tribunal (and I'm sure there are other wastes of money out there).
Auckland Council has over 10,000 people paid over $100k - I kid you not. That's $1 *billion* right there.
Heck, 60-70 percent of council tasks could probably be done by AI now (and a whole lot cheaper and better).
If ACT did threaten to pull the plug, they'd be polling at 30 percent or more.
My God ! thats just sickening really.
Just asking... Have Maori been scamming the rest of us for years and how have we enabled them for this to happen.
We've been lectured and shamed into not challenging what's been happening. Hell, they offered as a Waitangi Tribunal settlement radio spectrum, from the mobile phone allotment, for digital services for Maori.
It got worse under Ardern no question about that....The money Maori get would blow your mind I know because my wife works for a Maori entity and the money she pulls would shock you.
I feel so sorry for people who have a genuine need and have to look at the priority afforded to this stuff fresh from the dark ages…..
A minister needs to come onto your show for clarification on these matters .
It is offensive that these lot get all this money from us the tax payer for this rubbish, thus money could go to more beneficial causes that EVERYONE CAN BENEFIT . GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHERCOALITION GOVERNMENT AND START PULLING THE PIN ON THIS ABSOLUTE WASTE OF OUR MONEY
yes jacindas mules are still doing as they want
all these over pad idiots handing over monies for nothing and or on kick backs,...go to jail.
Prof Sunny Collings and the rest of those idiots need to go - Get Shane Reti onto this.
Brown grifting
Get Shane Reti on and grill him on why this nonsense is continuing to waste health dollars!
All of this comes just in time for Marama Davidson to take advantage of it. Could you do a follow up when she has completed her Maori ways of healing and is back on the job. Many thanks.
Give them their own parliamentary system with all tax paid by people on Maori role used to fund all service, benefits, projects, politicians salaries etc. of people on the Maori role, then they can choose to fund all this wonderful stuff out of their surpluses. Or not.
Agree. Also let them have Huntly to live this life.
Who said that the railways in NZ are dying,!? It would seem the gravy train is running just as well as ever.
Crap crap and more crap..🙄
The stairway to Maori Health always leads back to the Kumera Patch.
I never heard such dribble in all my life FFS.
Brown grifting
This is the result when large sums of money are offered for shoehorning mythology into science: expensive nonsense.
All of this was in an email from the Taxpayers Union
Welcome to the Stone Age. Integrated into the education system already? Who are the people getting these grants, or putting in these grant applications? Time to name and shame?
Maori spirituality, karakea, waiata are now approved in parliament and practicised by TPM MPs - all paid for by the taxpayers. We don't have the singing of hymns or the spiritual practices of any other groups as common practice in parliament. In schools we must teach Maori culture and spiritual practices in our schools mandated and funded by the MoE, but when it comes to say Christianity parents have to specifically opt in if anything non culturally, Christian is even offered!
yes well that is quite true
Basically the devil teaching paganism to children.
Yes that right and we have Article 2 of the Treaty as a grievances point but they won't let Pakeha use the Tribunal although it's about all NZdrs protection of their cultural rights, practices, beliefs etc which has not been upheld for Ngati Pakeha or other non maori races here, they just ride roughshod over everyone due to a mis interpretation of the Article. Unbelievable crisis been left to grow like a cancer.
I thought this goverment said it would disclose what it was spending taxpayers money
Once upon a time there was a woke fairy God-Mother...she went broke.
I thought she was the tooth fairy
As I've quoted before, '"Tolerance will reach such a level that intelligent people will be banned from thinking so as not to offend the imbeciles" - Dostoevsky.
Well said. Time to call out bad policy. People are starting to speech up, enough is enough. Tiny minority's can't be allowed to dictate to the vast majority.
the problem is the people running these councils etc are not doing as instructed by the government?
So much word salad 🥗 in everything... 🤔
Time to put a stop to this absolute bullshit and total waste of tax payer money
I’m all for academic freedom they can study what they want but I don’t need to be paying for it. Never been a more obvious case of emperor’s new clothes.
what the hell is that all about ..ye gods...the govt needs to get on top of all that b/s and quickly.
Spent on labour/green party cocktail parties and beer barbecues
Thank god you stopped reading the last woman's drivel Sean. It was bending my mind trying to make sense of what she actually does? You'd think that this would be a fairly straight forward decision to wind up this woke research council ? I hope so.
Where's private witch doctor?
Where's private witch doctor
Sitting in Parliament living off our dollars.
Who is responsible for grants? Is it an agency? What is the role of Government? Anyhow it should be investigated.
Shameful plain and simple
Maybe we should have demanded bigger tax cuts
Wasn’t maori life expectancy at birth just 30 years pre European contact?
About the same as Euro life expectancy then
Maori life expectancy was said to be 45, and English life expectancy was said to be 35 when Captain Cook arrived. Not sure how they came up with those numbers though. The English one is probably reliable because it comes from English historians, while the Maori one, one suspects, may have just been pulled out of the air to make a political point. In England at the time, about 1/3 of the population died in infancy/childhood, 1/3 died of syphilis or TB as a young adult, and the other third lived to a ripe old age.
Apparently cannibalism shortens the lifespan and can lead to developmental issues
Europeans are a hybrid race crossing indigenous Neanderthals with the newer immigrant waves out of Africa and Asia. Blond hair and blue eyes are the throw back Neanderthal heritage
@@dougbulldog9947 Kuru disease is a batch! 🤯
Did they have a competition to insert M words into every 2nd word in an essay?
Ok lets have a or several double blind clinical trials quatifying scientifically the efficacy otherwise of traditional polynesian medicine
Yep get the minister involved on The Platform and ask the questions about this (BS) Sean.
Why do they need money to do any of that ... if they use to do it! Go ahead if they believe it will help cancer.
Very entertaining show today 🤣
Nup. That’s just another one that went straight over the top. Wouldn’t the individual who generously bequeathed my tax payers money be able to clearly explain it?
NZ sea rise $17million. For what?
A waste of $. For moxt nz
ffs what does "culturally unsafe" even mean?
It means anything white, the people and their thinking or Culture, it's been deemed dangerous cos we are systemically racist and wishing their doom they have to have the exclusive control and narrative for all maori which actually are living Tikanga Christianity not the old wtichcraft
How is efficacy measured to demonstrate expenditure of public funds? Potentially fraudulent
Were these policies initiated under the previous coalition of Labour and T. P. M. ?
stop any funding for anything that is specific to maori. If it doesn't benfit kiwis in general, stop it.
What an absolute set of nonsense!
WTF!????? Honestly im a shamed to be a kiwi sometimes, it brakes me... bout our country is going backwards, just when there was a glimmer of hope 😥
Drug companies must be shaking in their boots now that a wonderful cost effective new proven treatment will be introduced to the world from New Zealand. Couple of questions? Is the prayer had be recited in Maori to be effective, Second regarding the healing water is the housoled kind from the kitchen tap will be effective, thirdly south island & north island forest have the same healing strength.
Perhaps the people that argue that the system is racist are right? telling maori that dancing in the forrest whilst breathing fresh air is going to help their cancer is really just sentencing them to death with false hope. They will be deprived of access to some of the best modern medicine that we have available today. We adopt global best practices, it's not colonial, most of our medicine comes from China and India for goodness sake.
Or an ex-nazi pharmaceutical company based in America that keeps new discoveries from you while they charge hundreds of thousands for existing medicine which has an abysmal recovery rate...
working in the clearly broken NZ health system I see patients in Whakatane that have to travel to Hamilton several times a week for renal dialysis - this and the many other deficiencies such as access to cancer or cardiac treatments should be funded ahead of any of this ' nice to have ' add on services - it is pure madness and inappropriate use of such limited available funds
You need to ask either Winston or David, when is this type of crap from govt depts, going to be stopped!
I would offer to study music for free except im too busy dealing with the consequences of the nz police perverting justice.
Ha ha I can’t even give Panadol to rest home clients after 9 years at university for pain as apparently only prescribers can woke shite in nz
These sharks are taking us to the cleaners 🤬 We need Luxon to come on show and tell us what makes him think we voted for this!
😂😂😂 he doesn't know what's going on... have you not seen his standard I wasn't aware comments? I'm sorry but Winston or David are a better bet. They at least seem to be reading the memos
@@jodevonshirenz I voted ACT and have respect for Winston. but Luxon is the PM and portrayed his party as a change maker. He needs to show his face and explain to his voters WTF is this mess we see.
Yes, this is utterly disgusting. We are short of funding for so many projects, yet waste it on this nonsense.
Thanks!
Love your maori pronunciation! Waititi will melt down 😂
The professor who was providing direct mental health services on the Kapiti Coast, to three times the expected number of patients had to leave her position as the only serving psychiatrist in the area because the health board would not provide her with a panic button which would be a basic safety requirement when working with very high risk patients.
Cool. Now tell the politicians taking ouf tax money to pay their mortgages we shouldnt be funding that either. Fairs fair.
I’m all for outreach to communities that are impoverished to provide what they need to get through. Even including cultural maori stuff, if people want it, sounds great. But it’s this out of touch academic bollocks and racial divide i’m not so fond of.
As a Maori descend, what a load of rubbish and a huge waste of money on MOBO Jombo, this has to stop and these people need to be held to account for wasting government money, disgraceful considering it's 2024 not 1824.
i dont work hard to have my taxes wasted on this crap!
ChatGPT: Sure, here's a playful take on "woke rubbish":
In the kaleidoscope of societal discourse, Sean Plunket's quest for enlightenment dances on the precipice of paradigms past. His intellectual voyages sail upon the winds of change, where the waves of conformity crash against the shores of intersectionality. With each syllable, he dismantles the oppressive structures of discourse, weaving a tapestry of inclusivity that embraces even the most marginalized punctuations of thought.
Plunket's rhetoric, a symphony of postmodern musings, challenges the binaries that once defined our consciousness. In his lexicon, words bloom like dandelions through the concrete of normativity, embracing fluidity and multiplicity with each breath. His woke compass navigates the labyrinth of privilege, where each turn unveils a new perspective, a new narrative that demands recognition.
But amidst the cacophony of woke voices, Plunket stands as a beacon of woke rubbish, a pied piper leading the procession towards a horizon where binaries blur into gradients of understanding, where the dumpster fire of traditionalism ignites the phoenix of progress. So let us raise our recycled cups to Shaun Plunket, for in his woke rubbish, we find the compost of tomorrow's ideas, fermenting beneath the surface of today's paradigms.
There you go Sean! In the prompt I wrote: "Sean Plunket wants you to write some woke rubbish."
A word salad deluxe. 😊
I understood that more 😮
What exactly have I listened too? Putting prices on what can actually be considered free, to do that which won’t require financial assistance.. 🤦🏽♀️
Ithought - after this rubbsh I need to listen to some commedy. Then I realized I was.
Maybe I can get some money for some nonsensical research too.
Send the gangs on them ha ha they need some spiritual guidance e
Two deputy prime ministers,two spoilt brats ,woke plus.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Dear sweet lord in the words of dear department Bruce where do they get these people so much money down the drain no wonder we can’t pay our National medical bills.I have never listened to so much word salad in my entire 80 years.
Please interview the minister of health and ask him about these studies(I also think that Europeans introduced Māori to the western music scale,as a retired health professional I really must ask how any of these studies improves health of any New Zealander,this money would be best used at front line medical services,please write to Dr Shane Retiand David Seymour and ask why the health dollar is being wasted !!!!!
I was raised by excellent Māori foster parents in the far north. They taught me te reo Māori and we spent a lot of time on our local marae. All the singing of waiata and hymns were done to a recognised western musical scale, mostly with guitars. Yes, we had 2 or 3 folks who were good at playing the nguru - a nose flute - usually during a funeral, and that had a very unique sound that doesn't match a western scale. But all other traditional songs and tunes were to the western scale - even chants could be musically related to western notation on sheet music.
Please Sean get peters and Seymour and luxon on to explain. Everyone, raise this with your mp. We expected this rubbish to be rooted out straight away when the new govt took the treasury benches b
Yea got the email from Tax payer union. Disgusting
It sounds like Chloe swarbrick is moonlighting her English talents to Maori ‘health providers and researchers’
The Tikanga Maori etc type approach with prayer etc. could be beneficial for occupations. There are many approaches, and there should be funding to support the work of counselors. Various faith and cultural approaches. A disease like cancer can be made worse without support on levels, other than medical intervention and clinical settings. Things like laughter clinics, where patients are encouraged to laugh, and express themselves could be extremely beneficial. Especially for somebody going through such a scary diagnosis and treatment. The health of the body is much more than simply physical interventions. Emotional commune support can be crucial, Especially for people who do not have much family support, etc..
And what is so different between Tikanga Maori and Christian approaches to dealing with illness?
Both recommend making good with your god or gods through prayer.
Both recommend making the most of the relationships a person has with family, friends and the wider community.
Both recommend spending time communing with nature and taking pleasure in the small things - even down to drawing a breath or smelling a flower.
Both provide hospice and palliative care.
Why is your view of western approaches limited to "medical intervention and clinical care? Is that all you think we do?
Do you think tikanga has a monopoly on spiritual wellness?
working in the clearly broken NZ health system I see patients in Whakatane that have to travel to Hamilton several times a week for renal dialysis - this and the many other deficiencies such as access to cancer or cardiac treatments should be funded ahead of any of this ' nice to have ' add on services - it is pure madness
Pakeha haven't been afforded this webbed network of funding tho so they have a huge advantage and now receive more that's not equal equity
@@jeffappleton926 Yes, As I pointed to, "Various faith and cultural approaches." Christian being one of them. I'm suggesting the support program should be a general field, not necessarily seperate, with a special Maori focus.
@@Nrskiwi Yes.
Follow the money 💰. Just like the pandemic. Work it 9ut Sean
We need to find if any of these programs had measurable outcomes and were audited,interview the person who approved this crap,how much tax payer money has been spent total on Māori programs and initiatives.please fire the persons involved.
How can these Maori wheelding this stuff, think it's OK to fleece Taxes on such rubbish? Please get Shane Reti, ACT and NZ First to explain why this has not been axed along with all the other kids fairy tale stuff?
Free money $$$$$$$$$$$$$
Traditional Maori healing????...Back in the day they had a life expectancy of about 45 years old if they were lucky!!
What a waste of money.
I want job of teaching all day airy stuff
Boy do we need to sharpen up
WTF
Wait till Sean finds out that the Fast-tracking Bill he so much likes is giving a right direct application by invitation to a whole lot of Maori land Trust with commercial and development purposes while paying les tax and getting more grants.😂
In which Sean discovers the research sector... There's so much more!
The good thing is that it's public, and health, which means it's evaluable by scientific method.
So let's see the evaluations, maybe the past ones too, if time-series consistent data is required, eg lags of 1, 3, 5 years?
The ones which show no, null, or negative results should be documented and shut down. The Council should have a tracker for past approvals of garbage that didn't work, ie "we've funded 14 kaupapa studies into the kaupapa merits of kaupapa, do we need another one?". This is important because much of it sounds like notions looking for methodology looking for purpose.
We are living in a Cohen brothers movie.
Who is giving the tick on this money I just really hope it isn't Act or NZ first.
Perhaps David Seymour might have some comment on this BS.
