Great news - Maori only beaches in NZ

[Slyer]

I demand at least 1 beach where no maoris are allowed to go if this has to go ahead.

[Curious_AJ]

I personally don't understand why anyone has to have "more rights than the others" when it comes to the shores... why can't everyone use them?? It's totally unfair if only some people are allowed to use certain beaches!

[MSTRS:Me]

Just cos you've never been to such a beach, and perhaps never would, makes no difference. It is a removal of a right that all NZers have had since 'whenever'. Don't you want your kids to enjoy the same freedoms that you do/did?
Thin edge of the wedge, peoples.

So what criteria is there for detrmining if you are Maori enough to visit this beach?

How do you proove your Maori ancestry to gain access? Jews in NAZI germany had to wear a star of david, Gays a pink triangle, etc.... will New Zealand be adopting a similar system?

Also is it possible that a mixed race family won't be able to visit this beach together?

Example: One parent is say 1/4 quarter Maori and the other Parent is not Maori, and any of their offspring are only 1/8 Maori and therefore not Maori enough to visit this beach?

Racial segregation is bullshit, New Zealand is supposed to be a more progresive modern society than this.

Dunno 'bout that BD...as much as I hate to say it...it's normally Maori getting busted for raping the live stock at most of our beaches.

I wonder who would be harder on them - Fisheries - or if it was the Marei's?

so with my fishing rod ill need a shot gun?
its gunna start a war!

[Patrick]

Cool. So are all the other beaches going to be "whites only" beaches..???

Shit no!!!!! You can't ban other races from beaches. That would be racist! Hang on a Mo....??????

This rubbish doesn't surprise me in the least. This is New Zealand, after all. Did everyone suddenly expect the reverse racism to disappear? I can't see it happening in my life time.

And they wonder why everyone is fucking off to aussie

Isn't it funny that New Zealand's majority race is the one leaving for Australia? Hell, if this keeps up there may not be any non-Maori left to ban . If you consider the special treatment that Maori receive here, there's not much incentive for them to leave. Why would they go to Oz and be treated like everybody else?

Good on the ones who refuse the special treatment and stand on their own feet, I say!

[Slyer]

There is no such thing as reverse racism.

[Swampdonkey]

I can show you plenty of beaches up round here ,where access is blocked by wealthy land owners (NZ and foreign) . Give acess rights to the foreshore back to maori and fellow New Zealanders...

There are '000s who do go to Oz etc. They do stand on their own 2 feet. They go to escape the bullshit here. Can't just be, staying here. The bullshit etc is so entrenched that they are just dragged in and down by it. You heard what they have to say about their cuzzies who stay here? No mana...just greed and hate.

Fucken brillant.

Does this mean mission bay will stop being so dark on the weekends?

[FROSTY:Me]

Can someone explain to me in Plain english how this is at all possible.
Please explain how a 40 year old male born in New Zealand to New Zealand parents can have less rights in New Zealand than another New zealander of New zealand parents just because the second dude happens to have brown skin

[XxKiTtiExX]

gosh... this "maori only beach" thing is the mos racist thing I've heard in a LONG time... this pisses me off... fucking racists.

But AJ, apparently its not racist. You're racist for thinking its racist
