"Te Pāti Māori isn't a race-based party. We are a rights-based party, and Te Tiriti o Waitangi protects the rights of everybody here in Aotearoa, not just Māori. And so don't get us wrong. Te Tiriti o Waitangi will protect you, it will protect me, it will protect our mokopuna.

"... the amendments that were made to the Equal Pay Act in 2020 made a real, tangible difference to women and women's pay. We had 13 successful pay equity claims that went through, and those women saw a huge difference. In some cases, up to 30%+ changes to their pay.

Today we've seen a huge step backwards, and we need to create a better world for our daughters and our granddaughters."

NatACTs love to blame our low wage economy on regulation, or low population, or "welfare dependency" or whatever. But the real reason is policies they pass into law, which help rentiers keep more of the wealth workers create (including precarious entrepreneurial workers).
