In my opinion the bro-hou over comments made by an elected councillor are the result of the denial of 'free speech' that is the wet blanket now thrown over society by the Race Relations Commissioner.
It is not a crime for those who seriously research New Zealand history to hold differing views and to verbalize what they know. Mr Mikaere and other activists are constantly labelling any difference of historical opinion as 'racism'.
I do not believe the Mayor elect is correct when he claims local government has a 'legal duty to have a partnership with Iwi'.
LGA 14 (1) (d) Principles Relating to Local Authorities does not speak of 'partnership'.

The race relations commissioner has set a dangerous precedent here using his office as a stage for himself and maori, is it his mandate, job, to get involved in the local council, seems to me he is abusing his office! seems to be a lot of that going on, some see not having unelected maori on council as racist, while others see 'having' unelected maori on council racist, is this man an unbiased commissioner for 'all' K1W1's?
