What is the payoff Gary for those pushing this desire to revert to ignorance and fairy tales? My mind is befuddled by the shear stupidity and nonsensical attraction to such primitive rubbish being spewed out throughout NZ education, law and so much of our ordinary day to day lives. Why?? Unless it is part of the propaganda machine for Maori Takeover. Thank you for your sanity and courage.

Well commented Gary, thank you.

It is indeed difficult to understand why in 2024 anybody would interject primitive tribal beliefs into any serious activity, particularly coming from people that haven't been raised, steeped in the culture.

It appears to me to be that, setting aside tribal "aristocracy" with obvious vested interests, the driver is a kind of mass psychosis behaviour, where an extreme version of ideological "inclusion", as in the DEI subset of Critical Theory is being promoted under an illusion of righteous justice, with whatever societal disruption a price that must be paid. Hence science must include "traditional ways of knowing", the rule of law similarly, and so forth.
