I was happy to appear on the TVNZ Marae political debate yesterday. Maori achievement since 2008 under National has been strong. More Maori are getting educated, more Maori kids are getting immunised, job numbers are increasing, hundreds of Maori are coming off the dole queue every month and two-thirds of all Treaty settlements were completed in the past 5 years. My only surprise was the number of commentators on and off the show that bemoaned me being there because I wasnt senior enough. Theres always a lot of talk about the need to encourage young Maori to work hard, aim high and do their best. Except, apparently, when someone happens to be young and Maori and fronts up for a political debate.
