Rodney Hide (MP)has expressed his views about excluding Maori as having the right to be included in the Auckland "Super" City Council. Maori obviously feel that their voice has been ignored.
Do you support this view yes/no? Give an explanation of your views?

Yes I strongly belive that maori should be included in the 'Super City' council. I think that the moari people are just as important as every other New Zealaner, they are the natives of NZ. If anything the moari people should be disiding wether they should be letting the pakihas into the the super city council.
I don't really no much about this but what is the difference between maoris and pakehas?
Why does NZ have a problem with including 'everyone'.
I strongly believe that the Maori should be able to be in the Auckland super city. This is because they where the first people here and the pakeha know are not respecting them , besides them Maoris are natives. Also the Maoris are involved in parliament so why shouldn't they be involved in the super city.
I support the view of the MP because Maori dont make many contrbutions to the society
Maoris should just be like normal people and shouldn't have special rights, because they are different. Europeans, Asian, Indians, Maoris, etc should have the same writes for Parliament. I think Rodney Hide is making sure everyone has a fair chance and not have some race of people in a sit, because they are different to the rest. Do you think that Asians should have special party in Parliament, because they are different? That also means that there should be Europeans seats
I think that the she maori should be aloud to be in the super city. The voice of the maori party should be included and treated as a normal voice. The maori party should be able to express their views and if it is good to use it and if it is not to trash it or to build on it.
I do not support the view of Rodney Hide, which is excluding the Maori people, because in my view the government is just like a survey because you need to get an idea from all of the people represnting Auckland. The action that Rodney Hide has taken could even be described as racism towards the Maori people, which should not be accepted. I also think that other points of view from other peoplein the government should be taken.
I support Rodney Hide's view that there should be no Maori seats in the new Super City Council. I support his view because people should be part of the super city council on merit not on race, people should only be on the super city council if the citizens of the super city have voted them on. Why should Maori have special rights? there aren't any Asian seats Caucasian seats and so on. Their voice wouldn't be ignored because if the citizens vote for a Maori to be on the council the voice of the Maori would he heard.
If Maoris want to be in Parliament they have to earn it like normal people, instead of getting special treatment, because there not European or another race. Asian people don't get into Parliament, because there different, but because they earned it like Europeans. If you were Maori you have a unfair chance and higher chance of getting in the council, because you need Maoris which isn't fair for people who have worked for it.
I think that Rodney Hide is correct in his view because the Maori are only about 12% of the population. If the Maori are entitled to seats why aren't the Chinese and German and other various ethnic groups in New Zealand getting seats. The Maori can run for the seats but they shouldn't automatically get seats.
I do not agree with Rodney Hide because the Maoris are as much of a part of this country as we are. In fact they arrived in this country before us so he has no right to just ignore them. Their voice should be heard in this council just as much as anybody else.
yes i do because people should be able to seat anywhere if there are set seats for maori and for European it is discrimination but if anyone can sit anywhere everyone is being treated evenly and people are being given even rights and the different nationalities will be mixing and getting along together.
I believe that the maori people should be included in the super city council because the Maori people are as important as every other person.Rodney hide should not be able to say maori people cannot be in the auckland super city council.
I think New Zealander's should be friendly to the maoribecause they shouldn't hate each other and New Zealand should accept all different kinds of people including the maori beacuse its not good leaving a race out.
