Interesting link right ? It amazes me that because a coment like this was said by profeesor Mutu she is automatically looked at sideways by all. I do realise that the results of this comment is only going to get worse. what i am more interested in, in regards to this "comment" is who was present when Mutu said this? Where was she ? What else was discussed in that meeting, forum etc. These are the vital parts the media have left out. Putting things into perspective helps people who only bother to read parts of information as opposed to being fully informed and aware of a range of opinions, issues and/or movements.
Another point for thought, would an academic like margaret Mutu make a comment so carelessly or so rudely? She is a woman who says things for a purpose. To insipre, encourage and create change. a change that at face value would look one-sided; but once Maori people have achieved their rights promised to them in the treaty, then Maori protest will stop and we will be a country moving forward as one.
Last point, if there is such a great need for overseas workers, why doesn't New Zealand put more funding together to get more New Zealanders trained or upskilled so as to fill this DESPERATE NEED for immigrant workers. rather than spending more money to head overseas to ask other people to move here and then letting them work.
New Zealanders can leigitmately worry about job losses when they know that finding a job at this time is hard let alone watching immigrants walk in and steal jobs.
Just something i thought was interesting and something to ponder on.
He aha ou koutou whakaaro?
