Now I do have some qualms about the accuracy of the author's claims,
the first being that children are not born on a benefit - but they may
well be born to parents on a benefit. The second that 'Maori must
take control'. The implication being the child needs to ditch the
lifestyle they were born to, to get ahead, but no mention of how they
could shed parent-dependency to do this.

Any analysis that reports on a racial cohort will very likely be
swamped by commentary from those with a race-based ideology. For
example the statement that 'Maori must take control' can result in a
call for separatism that favours Maori to enable them to 'take
control'. It can also result in non-Maori blaming Maori for a problem
of their own making. Neither is helpful.

But I get the overall picture - benefit dependency is bad for those
born children born to benefit-dependent parents.

What is needed is for Maori to own, not "take control" the issue, in much the same way that
Maori are over reprsentive in prisons, and then start doing what is needed
to fix the issuse but internally, within the Maori and wthin society as a whole.

Society needs to understand the "other half" through civil discussion and understand the breaking the cycle of dependence is a worthwhile task.

While one is called a rasist coloniser at the drop of a hat it is difficult
to move forward.

I agree, but with factions such as the current Maori Party, they need
non-Maori to fund remedial actions on the basis that colonisation is
to blame for all their ills.

There are good Maori people out there that could at least start this
process, such as Sir Pita Sharples (Maori party co-founder), Dover
Samuels - but these people are not heard from today.
