Ardern government policies have created a Maori elite who rely on victimhood

The policies of Prime Minister Jacinda Arderns government have led to the creation of a Maori elite which relies on Maori victimhood, according to Hobsons Pledge founding trustee Casey Costello. Hobsons Pledge is a New Zealand lobby group which advocates for equality before the law regardless of race in the face of Maori bureaucratic bodies taking control over large areas of life in the country. Weve had the introduction of the Three Waters Reform legislation which is effectively removing control and ownership of water from the local bodies and councils that own those assets into these massive entities which will be 50 per cent controlled by Iwi, she told Sky News Australia.
