Yes - what the government is doing is the exact opposite of racist - what the hui was about was precisely racist.
I would give it a great deal of sense.
Once again we have the tranference of Maori stirrers onto the the pakeha
tribe. At the last election voters said no to Maori being seperate, the idea that they need to be separate just did not wash. They were part of NZ.
I thought this was a great insight from the article
"There can be no doubt that over the coming months and years the debate will intensify. It may be far more effective to list and talk about practical concerns than argue the original- versus- evolved meaning and intent of the Treaty."
It would allow practical things to process rather than just getting bogged
down consuming time, money and effort. However I fear that human nature will cause the latter to happen.
