Here is the heading for his latest substack:

Where’s the rāhui for the murdered Māori children?

His first couple of Paras are here:

A few days ago, a rāhui was declared across the entire Nelson/Tasman coastline. It was triggered after one tragic death in floodwaters, a death that probably had no connection to local iwi. Still, the rāhui was imposed across hundreds of kilometres of coastline by Te Taiao and the Iwi Emergency Management Rōpū, which operates from inside the Nelson/Tasman Emergency Operations Centre.

The result? No swimming, no fishing, no shellfish gathering, and according to the Nelson City Council’s own website, no entering the water. This isn’t a suggestion. It is being presented as an expectation, if not an outright restriction, all enforced not by law, but by spiritual authority and cultural pressure.

Then he says:

Where’s the rāhui for the murdered Māori children?

What’s astounding is how quickly something like this can be imposed for a single death in nature.

Yet when Māori children are murdered, and they are, in appalling and rising numbers, not a single rāhui is ever placed.

Not on the homes where they died.
Not on the streets they lived.
Not on the communities that failed them.
Where is the rāhui for Catalya Tangimetua-Pepene?
Where was the rāhui for Nia Glassie? Where was the rāhui for the dozens of Māori babies and tamariki killed in domestic violence, gang disputes, or simply neglected to death?

He makes very valid points;
