So yes, Luxon putting the hard word in iwi leaders about this major issue was the right thing.
And if the kids won’t listen to their elders - parents, kaumatua, iwi leadership etc - then why would the public want to devolve a bunch of resource to iwi so that they can manage more of their own affairs?
I am in favour of devolution of resources (not just for iwi). But if I am to believe BS then I may need to rethink that.
If ‘Maori’ can’t get their kids to school then how in the Hell are we going to hand over large sums of money with confidence? You can’t have a bob both ways BS.
And excuses like the ones you mention are the same as what Labour are harping on about. And they continue to plummet in popularity.
The public are tired of excuses and want to see some action now. For a whole range of issues.
