Pledge on race relations
Parliamentary reporter
Social Credit has promised a race relations policy that will develop a multi-cultural and multiracial society.
It would eliminate structures that inhibited Maori and Polynesian development and had created “a maze of bureaucratic bodies.”
The legislation would be reviewed and a retrospective enactment and ratification of the land and citizenship provisions of the
Treaty of Waitangi, with the exception of the Crown preemption clause, given urgency.
Multi-cultural broadcasting, education, community centres, and housing would be dealt with. Social Credit said that Maori owners would be able to decide for themselves whether they should have the control of their land, or any other asset, at present controlled by the Maori Trustee.
