WHO IS A MAORI? - from ACT - The Letter
The latest MP to declare himself to be Maori is blue-eyed David Cunliffe. He brings the number of Maori MPs to 20. He started wearing the mandatory rock around his neck and applied to join Labour's Maori caucus. Both parliament and his relatives were astonished to learn of this new Maori. Apparently in the 19th century the Cunliffe's had acquired Maori ancestry. Sadly for David a family historian checked these claims and found that while there are Maori Cunliffes he is not a descendant. Cunliffe is devastated. He has given up his bone carving and abandoned his application to join the Maori caucus and the number of Maori MPs has gone back to 19. The Letter has good news for Mr Cunliffe. The law now says if you feel Maori then you are. Clearly David did feel Maori, so he is. He can now apply for scholarships for his children, lower company tax, cheaper medical bills and his share of the fish. Thought: how many of those who are benefiting from Labour's racial preferences are "scholarship" Maori who have just discovered they are Maori
