    Speeches at Waitangi today pushed inequities for Maori into the spotlight

    Speeches at Waitangi today pushed inequities for Maori into the spotlight


    ACT leader David Seymour supports the idea of addressing issues by shifting power from Government to Maori organisations.

    He says the most progressive social policy from any Government in the past decade was charter schools.

    Seymour says the average iwi knows more about how to run a school for their tamariki, than the idiots in the Ministry of Education.
