Money laundering front and centre
Local government are completely disconnected from the community. 17.9% rates rise by ECAN, 50% over thee years. Unelected councils control the councillors, endless spending, endless focus on non core work, endless taxation to gift money away. I regularly take part in consultation, ignored everytime. There is plenty of money for infrastructure, they just squander it.
Wait to the reserve bank see the September quarter inflation rates.
Well done Mr Laws
Sir Laws.
@@rederrantstar693 😂 😂 😂. Isn't he the racist, disgraced mayor from whanganui??? Goes to show what you are. 😂.
Once again...and great timing and a great reminder, we need these bodies to focus 100% entirely on core issues. Not all this woke, race-based garbage! Most of NZ have had a gutsful of this nonsense!!
Magnificent anti-woke polemic!
Love your work Michael!!! WHEN WILL THIS CRAP EVER STOP?......
as soon as yous stop whinging
@Duckz558 when the gravy train stops
Spot on the money Michael,the system is way past broken,it’s F-cked
@user-mm8pj4cm8j
pakeha invented tis fk’d system just because the tables have turned a bit towards maori not a great deal but just a say and all you grifters on here making a big deal of it all the woken heathens are on here having tantrums poor babies😂😂😂😂
another top performance Michael
Brilliantly summed up Mr Laws.
Obvious this guy has a strong passion of patriotic for this country, and he talks the knowledge of reality of this society. You have my respect.
My favorite broadcaster
This country (NZ ) has completely lost its mind.
@squashum778
no it’s the people the likes of yous that have lost their minds
Hopefully it not to late to get the sanity back.
This man has lost his marbles, you mean .
Pretty simple question: What the hell is he talking about? You're all over the place,
l'm white, l'm so Flippin confused about his reviews .
He is such a racist person .
@@Duckz558 here we go again
Pakeha ruining it. Always.
Thank you Mr Laws!!
Brilliantly articulated, Michael!! The situation is identical in Auckland Council and Local Bodies. Maori influence has overtaken any hint of sanity and they all play along for fear of being called racist. It is yet another example of how "fear is the key" in manipulating people and authority over people.
They've always been bullies
Outstanding Mr Laws....
@@ Sir Micheal Laws.'
Piss off back to England.
The real problem is everyone is clicking the ticket, and in turn trying to make a profit. Watercare and waste management should be not for profit, yet they are both the opposite, both only serve one purpose to serve the public, yet instead run at the cost of the public.
My father, 87yrs, had a slip during Gabriel. It took over a year to get an insurance pay out(due to new digital)efficiencies. He needed a small 'retaining wall', which I could have built easily over a year ago. The council consent process is ongoing. No one seems to know anything any more.
👏👏You knocked this one out Michael very WELL DONE! 👏👏 So many of NZERS have had enough of all this BS! When is commonsense coming back to NZ...We can only dream!
😡 this is why our rates are so high and the services so bad.
@cyrillawless yes our rates are so high because we are subsidizing those that don't pay rates ie churches and Maori

Amen Michael
No wonder many are leaving NZ.
Totally agree with you
I wish you lot would leave with them maybe go bckvto your motherland England😂😅

They are all only part Māori, in fact they have more European blood than Māori, so go figure, it’s all about the gravy train, simple.

Bravo Michael Laws. Superb!
I left NZ in 1972 when it was a good place and I had some regrets. Now I say Thank God I did. What a f..k up the place is now.
Was wondering this only yesterday, how much do they get paid for this amazing consulting service?
And that is what it’s all about,if there wasn’t a dollar in it they wouldn’t bother.
This is spot on
Could it be that these councilers in support of all the Maori koha (corruption in the form of a bribe) are justifying remuneration because of the added complication they therefore happily embrace?
Keep up the good work mate
Oustanding!! I hope everyone watches this
This is actually the current situation
They didn't invent the wheel, so their mechanical knowledge isn't that good.
Neither did you
Well Michael please interview a politician ie the PM he’s keeping pretty quiet,and could someone put a list and cost of all this crap,from a half cast.i would like to where my taxes went,good work.i
Brilliant, so true
Brilliant!
Councils, (including the Akld Council hierarchy) put much of their energies into pushing irrelevant Maori ideology, waste staff time, rather than focus on Council core business..
well said
Just another matauranga nothing burger.
Well done Michael, now have a look at the underhanded moves for the coastline and seabed. 🙄
The water the seabed the water that falls from the sky and the air we breath belongs to all New Zealanders, and is not negotiable for a small group of self entitled want a bes to take for them selves.
We only complain about the cost of traffic cones because we don't know the cost of cultural engagement, assessments, and monitoring.
Councils spend a lot of money on not providing services to the community.
Who got the cone contract?
@@zerofull6936 not local Iwi or Hapu if that is what you are implying.
You didn't answer my question: who got the contract???

just speculating no true answers whinges😂😂do you think only pakeha pay rates?
You're on a roll today. Greetings from Granada Spain.
What about all the Building Consent/Inspection "business" controlled by Local government. What about all the "strategic investments" the Council control; what about all the zoning etc. they control.
'They' need to draft a report, which is then reviewed by a panel, who appoint consultants, which convene a board, who in turn employ engineers to review the review, to create findings, which are then forwarded to a committee, which assess the process, examine the findings, and then make suggestions in terms of amendments. Then the process starts again.
From time on a school board. Having to engage with iwi was at times one of the most painful things to do. Correspondence was slow, vague and variably engaged in. Things that you would have thought local iwi would jump at the chance to get involved in it seemed they couldn’t be bothered. In part as I understood (from word of mouth) because they saw some of it as just tokenism. So I was left a bit bemused at times. On one hand we were supposed to be supporting/encouraging student awareness/involvement in Māori. Yet the “experts” in the area, from which we were to learn, at times couldn’t be bothered. But they I’m sure still have the expectation that we do it????? And I’m sure will complain if things are done in an incorrect way. Having said that there were some amazing iwi members that helped regularly, so this was not 100% of the time, but enough to be noticeable.
I cannot imagine how things will work efficiently and cheaply for councils if behaviour from iwi ends up being like this for an entity that will have more requirements than our school did. It is one thing to recognise the treaty, another to have everyone held to ransom over it. The costs of this unfortunately go back to everyone and like everything ends up hitting those on the lower end of wealth the hardest.
Spot on!
Ideology...That word reminds me of somebody...She's a Dame now...
All the stuff Michael has just lamented upon...
The battalions in the trenches never gave any of this a thought.
As a maori in my mid 60s l grew up with a love of sport and excelled like some of us at rugby.
FFS... now it seems it's no longer a case of sticking to the laws of the game, but one of trying to figure out who the hell keeps moving the frikken goal post because they missed training and is now short on stamina and can't handle the distance... or need to sub themselves off the pitch after only a few minutes.
Thank you brother Laws... at least you stuck to yours.
God Bless you sir.
Yes councils - stop all the non essential stuff
Here's the question. "How do we stop this crap?"
...forever?!
Magna Carta
Great work Micheal.
@Redleadergroves
only great work he displaying is a clown not human at all😂😂
Hi Michael, you cannot get a DOC concession for helicopter landings I within the DOC land until the application has been assessed by all the IWI that the DOC land boarders,. The process took over 12 months
wow isn’t that unbelievable 1st i’ve heard of it wow about time whoopwhoop🎉
@Duckz558 there will be consequences for mari though
who gave local iwi governance over us? …. when did we vote for that?
@carolechapman7857
our tipuna did back in 1840 straight up just beginning to come out local govt’s are more on to it than tis coalition
….some things that iwi now want to have jurisdiction over …. did not even exist in 1840 … it’s a bit of a stretch … they are wanting to have authority over things they have barely contributed to….
Never
That's the problem, iwi do not want governance over pakeha and others only their Maori. You wouldnt see ngai tahu expecting to have authority over ngati porou in ngati porou rohe.
You can calm down now, unless of course you're Maori and are aware of where exactly your ancestral links tie back to. If not, then it doesn't affect you and it won't.
Exactly how did they become so powerful
Our council is totally Maori focused totally focused
Why has it not been made more public that Ngai Tahu recently just scored $100m just to rubber stamp the consent processes for the continued operation of the hyrdo power down South? $100m simply to keep the power going - people of course will blame the power companies for 'gouging' and maybe they do; but surely this doesn't help?
It doesn’t surprise me at all
Right on the ball, thanks for highlighting this issue.
Power grab
One of the many, many problems with appealling to a Higher Power in governance (eg te ao maori, matauranga maori) is there's no quality, accuracy, or fit for purpose check on any decision. They can't be wrong, because the Higher Power says it's fine. Therefore there's no governance, representation or accountability. There is never a mistake. A better way can't be proven.
So whoever and whatever you vote for is irrelevant because Higher Power rules. How... progressive.
This sounds suspiciously like the Catholic Church in the middle ages sanctifying kings and papal infallibility. All the corruption of the sale of indulgences without the charming architecture.
Standing between Local Government and the People is the Maori Iwi.
its your pride thats in the way not iwi’s
@sunstar1630
its your pride the likes of everyone else on here that have a negative attitude towards maori need find another country if not happy easy as that
@@Duckz558go back to Taiwan
Yes, Michael is correct, that you can't get a consent or decision unless local maori look at it. This has been happening quietly, but NOT at all quietly now, for many years. It arguably started in our educational institutions, and was DEFINITELY and firmly ensconced in Unitec at Mt. Albert in Auckland many years ago, where local iwi who were unknown, non-professional, never voted in and could never be debated with, had to okay everything, most of which had absolutely NOTHING to do with maori studies. It has been a rort, a way of making money by people who have somehow climbed up the 'iwi ladder' and find themselves in a cushy position of self-indulged $$$$$$-making authority. Enough of this race-based scam!
Plus Tauranga hospital have now on their staff a Maori spiritualist to help Maori at around $200 an hour 😱😱😱 the gravy train knows no end.
It’s a laughable joke,and they laugh all the way to the bank,and it’s been facilitated by the Labour and National government’s of this country.

@@Duckz558 how long did you spend doing this?
Michael don't take it so personal it's just business by feeding upon the sacrifice of others.
Māori is a multi billion dollar industry & the highest earner isn't Māori fishery quota nor forestry or even leases hold land, farming, Crown payments etc.., the highest earner is Te reo Māori ('the Māori language'), all paid for thanks to NZ tax payer..
@blackline-gf6fi
whoopwhoop you crack me up cry baby was that a long time coming just imagine thats only the start of it? your ancestors mistakes is like if your deceased father or mother left a unsettled debt the next of kin has to settle the debt that how it works?
And the Billions spent on Rebranding every Government dept, schools, hospitals, libraries, police stations, council buildings.
This included re sign writing thousands of vehicles, road signage, parks & reserves in Maori & don’t forget over $500,000 for New Software for all the above in Maori.( go into a hospital & look at the signage)
A massive waste of taxpayer $$$ to appease less than 2% of New Zealand’s population whom can Read,Write or Speak Maori, wake up NZ.

Well said once again Michael 👍
A lot of this crap is coming from LGNZ (Local Government New Zealand) an organisation that Local Councils can choose whether or not to belong to. The more Councils who choose to leave LGNZ the better off we will all be.
Have the 'Maori Elite' themselves begun the growing Kiwi backlash? I think so.
And this is exactly why co governance should never happen " clipping the ticket " aren't they!
you have no understanding on how important the treaty is for you and everyone else regardless of ethnicity that are here in aotearoa nz hopefully won’t be too late, yous need to listen to Geoffrey Palmer good pakeha ex PM 1989-1990 he’ll tell how it is

P.S. There is only one race - the Human Race
Maori had no written language all their history is all legend. We know how legends become embelished.
Yes it's interesting going on the Polynesian Society website and reading the first written stories.... and the truth. But many Maori say it's "euro-centric" even though many are word for word of their ancestors!

I love the way you discuss this😅. Good on you for speaking up. Too many are just passive followers not thinking for themselves.
crowing as a rooster crack up
Just omg!
Just keep ticking those ethnicity boxes fellow NZers, like good little crown supporters... then complain about Māori causing the division.
You do realize, the government divides us first, right?
Or should we ignore that?
I’ve been saying that for years, that is why I don’t vote for Labour or National they are both to blame for the division in NZ today.
my friend who is collects and follows all govt docs and reports and govt funded studys etc and one he showed me detailed how the maori were specifically targeted for trials of persuasive media manipulation during the covid vaccine roll out etc by using "socialy relevant terms (hood talk ghetto slang etc) and the report details how amazingly effective the media propaganda campaign was and shows the results before the project and after.
Nice rant!

Thanks The Platform NZ for sharing Michaels rant and rave; for all his smarts, Mr Laws doesn’t seem to even know what a “Morrie” actually is, or why that matters;
and if he does, his whole perspective would shift from some ‘Hobsons Pledge’ type dictatorial dystopia, to one of revelation, enlightenment and freedom from arbitrary interference, or public scrutiny;
