Just read this piece about the Iwi asking Christopher Luxon to acknowledge Māori sovereignty. Its about time we have this conversation. But Im curious, what would such acknowledgment mean practically for New Zealands governance? Would we see a shift in policy making?
Interesting read! But heres a thought, isnt it high time we stop demanding acknowledgements and start focusing on actionable change? Sure, Luxon acknowledging Māori not ceding sovereignty is important, but its just words unless backed by policy. Its the actions that speak volumes, not the words. Just my two cents!
Just read the piece on the Iwi and Luxon issue. Does anyone else find it intriguing that were still debating over the sovereignty question? I mean, its 2022! Can we move past this and focus on more pressing issues like climate change? Just a thought.
