... the fund sat alongside a suite of other programmes to support Māori into "employment, education or training".

"We're continuing to ensure Māori are prioritised as part of our Government's economic recovery and rebuild."

The Government won power last year with its largest ever Māori caucus of 15 MPs, including five Cabinet Ministers. The Māori caucus within Labour meets regularly as a bloc of MPs within the party.

It now faces pressure to show that it is working for its Māori voters – with additional pressure from the Māori Party, which claimed back the Māori seat of Waiariki.

The Government has been accused of working at a glacial pace on fixing Māori unemployment as an ongoing $50 million training scheme has created just four new Māori jobs in eight months.

The Māori Trades and Training Fund is a contestable, grant-based initiative from the Covid-19 response and recovery package in Budget 2020.

Proposals must be by-Māori and for Māori, aiming to upskill participants and provide "meaningful opportunities into employment". The proposals should be able to get up and running quickly to respond to the impact of Covid-19.

So far, $11.4m has been committed to approved projects with $1.8m paid out.



Most Māori and co- co nuts with NZ passports wind up in Australia nicking our jobs/ women anyway. But what a racist scheme what threshold must you qualify to be a "Maori"? What percentage of your blood? I hear NZ dole is bad, so you'd wanna be working. The pay is crap there like $27 NZD/ hr if you are lucky and a small economy.

The money should be going to good use with the Maoris by giving them a parachute and guns and dropping them on China and Nth Korea ! then they can be as aggressive as they want and you get rid of them too  and give them work.
