Māori are questioning a lack of targeted funding for Māori in this year’s Budget.
But ACT Party leader David Seymour said there should be no such thing as Māori funding and that funding being categorised based on ancestry is the definition of racism.
Associate dean Māori at Massey University and a professor in the School of Economics and Finance, Matt Roskruge told RNZ it was “really hard” to find Māori in the 2025 Budget.
“You call it basics Budget, no frills Budget, for Māori it’s a bleak Budget. There’s just nothing for us.
