I watched Nigel Latta on TV and read comments on Facebook following the screening. Most were positive. But one very angry, unhappy lady is blaming the 'white man” for all problems Maori have.

This really peeves me off. I guess it's easier to blame someone else than take responsibility for yourself. There's also many 'white” families struggling in NZ, through no fault of their own.

The government has paid hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars to Maori tribes for Treaty of Waitangi settlements. Why is that money not being used for the betterment of all Maori?

If you want a better life - you get only one bite of the cherry - you have to make the effort, get an education and get a job in your field of interest.

If there's no job, make one for yourself. Kiwis are a pretty clever bunch. Everyone has something they excel at.
