Maori Council wants Brash's Hobson's Pledge Investigated

Sir Edward Taihakurei Durie pn375
In case you missed this, click here.  I've added some comments, and information on the Maori Council and its  'eminent and respected' chairperson Sir Edward Durie.


Extract. The New Zealand Māori Council said on Wednesday (1 May) it had asked the Human Rights Commission (HRC) to investigate the group, which is led by former National Party and Act leader Don Brash.
Hobson's Pledge was formed in 2016 and campaigns against what it says is preferential treatment given to Māori.


New Zealand Māori Council executive director Matthew Tukaki said the council had made the move because "no one's called them out". "They've been given a significant amount of latitude," Tukaki told Stuff.
