Te Pāti Māori president John Tamihere says a national “Call to Action” planned for tomorrow is a response to what he calls a coalition government anchored on anti-Māori sentiment.
“We either lie down after 35 years of winning incremental, slow, painful change and then all of a sudden it gets turned over inside of three years by a minority-majority government.”
A series of ‘carkoi’ have been planned across the country, with the intention of disrupting traffic flows in many centres, including Tāmaki Makaurau, Wellington, Hamilton, Palmerston North and many regional centres for Tuesday morning. He says the intention and the timing of the nationwide protests is to send a powerful message to Wellington as Parliament opens its 54th term.
