Hobsons pledge making a great impact

[Lilith7]

Aha - they are iconoclastic and racist enough for you to support...

They are NOT racist.
They want equal rights for ALL people REGARDLESS of race. They are against giving rights to any individual race, even worse the definition of maori seems to be more and more based on ancestry and anyone can identify as Maori without even having to prove their lineage!
I got a letter from the electoral commission telling me about options on changing to the Maori roll, why do they send this to me if I'm not maori?
Anyway, I don't hear the media bashing Don Brash as racist and he is the main person behind Hobsons Pledge.
Their billboards and radio adverts are everywhere right now.

"Hobson's Pledge┬áis a right-wing┬álobby group┬áin┬áNew Zealand┬áthat was formed in late September 2016 to oppose┬áaffirmative action┬áfor┬áM─üori┬ápeople. It is led by conservative politician┬áDon Brash. The group aims to nullify the partnership between┬áthe Crown┬áand M─üori,[1]┬áremove the┬áM─üori electorates, abolish the┬áWaitangi Tribunal, restrict┬átribal┬ápowers and ÔÇ£remove all references in law and in Government policy to Treaty ÔÇÿpartnershipÔÇÖ and ÔÇÿprinciplesÔÇÖÔÇØ.[2]┬áIt is named after┬áWilliam Hobson, the first┬áGovernor of New Zealand┬áand co-author of the┬áTreaty of Waitangi.[3][4]┬áHobsonÔÇÖs quote on the day of the first signing of the Treaty, ÔÇ£he iwi tahi t─ütouÔÇØ, has been used by the group to market their beliefs, with the common translation of the phrase: ÔÇ£we are now one peopleÔÇØ.

HobsonÔÇÖs Pledge is considered to be┬áright-wing,[6][7][8]┬áand it has been placed by some academics on the┬áfringe┬áor┬áalt┬áright.[8][6]┬áGenerally considered divisive, the group has been accused of racism for its calls to abolish affirmative action, which the group call "special rights". These measures were designed to combat┬áinstitutional racism,[9][10]┬áand to adhere to the promises of┬átino rangatiratanga┬áin Te Tiriti o Waitangi, or roughly, the absolute sovereignty of M─üori peoples laid out in the Treaty of Waitangi."
