The project to build the new bridge over the Waikato was co-governed with mana whenua. Resulting in a novel design that respected the mauri of the awa, requiring no piles in the riverbed. The majority of the design and fabrication work was done onshore.

Co-governance is good for us | E-Tangata

Co-governance “is expressed when we sing the national anthem, when the All Blacks do the haka, when our media people greet us with ‘Kia ora’, and when our mokopuna come home from school and sing us a new waiata they’ve been taught.” — Te Huia Bill Hamilton.

@strypey I don’t recall the actual numbers but I once heard that the total of all claims to date is (again probably wrong) 2/6th of estimated total and the country can’t afford to pay that now, so we do need to work together so we can find equity and justice for those who have been dispossessed and disempowered. #Māori #CoGovernance

"We’re seeing it now in the conversation around co-governance. And, when there’s a peak in these claims and assertions of Māori privilege, then historically at least, we’ve seen that Māori have lost things.

Notions of privilege, first used to systematically dispossess and marginalise Māori, are being redeployed to consolidate the power imbalance established in the previous centuries."

Apartheid was a system of rigid segregation along racial lines, violently enforced against the indigenous populations of South Africa, by a minority settler government:

Like all systems of violent colonisation, it was an abomination and I'm very proud of the role that the left in Aotearoa played in supporting the indigenous organisations that eventually defeated it.
