  • Definitely thinking of leaving if co-governance is implemented.
  • @malawidick
    Co governance must be stopped at all costs and the Maori activists in parliament must be kicked out at this years election
  • Wow, that’s heart warming. TeAo news interviewing David Seymour, like it used to be, instead of this separatism.
  • Why would anyone wish to invest their lives (citizen kiwis or new skilled migrants) and those of their children in a nation that doesn’t treat all its citizens equally.
  • Co governance will be the end of nz. Right now I can't even see a doctor after the covid attack on our country by this government. All the good doctors retired and left my local Dr's. Now they can't even see a patient for weeks.

    People just want democracy. We want everyone treated equally. A great man once said, judge people on their character and merit, not their skin color. This current government wants people with different skin colors, to have different rules. The treaty says it all clearly in black and white, we are equal. Also if co-governance is so good, why not put it up for a referendum and let democracy and the court of opinion decide? Something tells me this regime wants to avoid that at all costs.
  • @diablojames
    Are the hundreds of thousands of Kiwis on the dole incapable of driving trucks 🤔
  • @tronwars7130
    One of the primary reasons I left was because of violence, Maori (who i no longer feel safe around) division, LGBT and sexualization of children. New Zealand has become a woke semi dangerous semi authoritarian country that doesn't pay well. Other reasons are poor pay, failing infrastructure, especially in the health sector.
  • Hit the nail on the head David... the masses are leaving the country, including Maori, citing that the country is going in the wrong direction and policies like Te Tiriti divide us greatly and although the people have spoken out against it Labour and it's Maori activists still force it on us... Maori on overseas websites like this speak out that they feel ashamed that the Activists are pushing the country in this direction and say they have no faith in Labour which seems in fear of the activists. We were once an equal people with equal rights in a true democracy...this has been constantly eroded by Labour's interference... they have shown themselves to govern for the minority 5% + rainbows and not the majority of NZ. Time to take a long holiday Labour - feel free to leave the country anytime and let us get back on track economically and prosperous again!
  • @Ronny.81
    Well said david,too many innocent people getting attacked lawlessness is the norm now in New Zealand. Tougher punishments i say.
  • What a great interview. Neither party shouting over the other. Great respect to both.
  • @realiststoic
    NZ is in decline. Why would smart people move to a country where the cost of living is high, your paid less and you are deemed a second class citizen on arrival.
  • @mistercut8331
    i left NZ over 30 years ago - the best decision i ever made -- the place seems to have regressed so much so that i can no longer imagine going back to for a visit
  • @richardwyatt934
    David’s right. We did not vote on this. Referendum is the only option.
  • @overover..
    Te Ao Maori News, I just subscribed. Great to see you interviewing David Seymour, and discussing issues that concern all kiwis. I think most maori have more in common with David than they do with woke academics and activist power hungary MP's.
  • That is so very true David most Elderly people cant believe where Nz is heading
  • @andrewlim9345
    This was a good interview. Shows that respect and dialogue are still possible today despite differing politics and views.
  • Listened to an interesting provable reason, in Britian, why immigration is favoured at any time by a political party and that is because an immigrant is more likely to vote for the party that allowed them into the country
  • He Puapua is segregation. We are a divided nation. Costs are doubled. We need unity. We need to remember the United Tribe's flag and what it means. Equality, a main principle of the treaty. One law and one vote in one nation.
  • @standstill0641
    Question why do we need to compete on a world market.. if the country looked after its own citizens first, we would be flourishing with so much food and infrastructure. We would be rich... unfortunately too many politicians have signed away our rights to the wef and who.
