copy and pasted this ...Being Maori does not signify socio-economic failure and so allocating resources on the basis of race is a gross waste of taxpayer’s money. The best way to tackle disadvantage is to ensure that all children succeed in school, that basic literacy and numeracy training is available to all, that workers in dying industries can re-train, and that the welfare system does not trap people in dependency - nor allow them to stay on a benefit in the long term in areas where there are no jobs
