memo to Tamati Coffey...

 

dude you are a good guy and your heart is in the right place

however you are let down by weak scholarship.

tribalism in its modern form extracted from the ages is established when there is no rule of law.

the goal of Maori must be the demand for equality before the law and equal access to health.

It is all very very celebrating and being proud of maori doctors and lawyers but essentially they are there for themselves as owner operators.

maori must work out how to represent each other in the law courts and ensuring proper treatment by the health system. It is time for maoridom to put their heads to work and instead of wasting time money and effort on useless distractions and good to haves by forging new systems that work.
