Te Pāti Māori’s descent into personality politics meant it missed the government’s recent announcement about changing school board obligations under te Tiriti o Waitangi/Treaty of Waitangi.
This is important: like last month’s refendums on Māori wards in local government, which the party also seemed not to notice, the schools issue goes to the heart of its mission: to achieve mana motuhake (self-determination) and to uphold te Tiriti.
