Iwi elites call this budget apartheid, yet do nothing to help our people...
We still have Māori kids sleeping in cars. We still have Māori unemployment sitting above 11%.
Yet we have iwi with billions of dollars in assets and hundreds of millions of dollars in annual income.
And I haven't seen many of them lift a finger to solve these problems.
We've seen demands for hundreds of millions of dollars tied to major projects, yet Māori are still struggling at the bottom.
That's not leadership.
That's economic ransom.
But nobody wants to look in the mirror and ask:
"What are we doing for our own people?"
This budget isn't apartheid, It's for every Kiwi.
That's the opposite of apartheid.
The real problem is New Zealand is asset-rich and cash-poor.
For 50 years, Labour and National have mismanaged this country.
They stopped building, they stopped growing, they stopped believing in New Zealand.
We need to mine, We need to explore for oil and gas.
We need to keep 50% of the royalties in the regions so we can build prosperous regions.
We need to break up the power companies so families and small businesses stop getting squeezed.
And we need to cut the bureaucracy, not by 14%, but by more...
Because every business owner knows the truth:
You can't keep borrowing money forever..That's how you go broke.
We need growth, we need productivity, we need jobs, we need opportunity.
That's how you build a prosperous country...not division...
One nation...One people...One flag.
Let's think big again.
Me rongo.
