Jacinda Ardern announces New Zealand will formally apologise racist dawn raids

New Zealand s minister for Pacific peoples has broken down after announcing the government will deliver a formal apology for racist raids in the 1970s. On Monday, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said the time had come to deliver an apology for the dawn raids , when officials targeted non-white people believed to have overstayed their visas purely on the basis of their ethnicity. The dawn raids period is a defining one in New Zealand s history, Ms Ardern said. Many members of our Pacific community still struggle to talk about their experiences during that period. (the raids) were routinely severe with demeaning verbal and physical treatment.

Polynesian Panthers say work still needs to be done to combat racism

Robyn Edie/Stuff Polynesian Panther Party members reflect on why the Dawn Raids had a lasting impact on pasifika communities. The organisation is asking for an apology from the Government over the raids. On the cusp of the Polynesian Panther Party marking its 50th anniversary, members say racism still exists in New Zealand. The party was formed in Auckland on June 16, 1971 by six founding members Will ‘Ilolahia, Fred Schmidt, Nooroa Teavae, Paul Dapp, Eddie Williams and Vaughan Sanft. Eventually there were 300 of them all across New Zealand. All their ages ranged from 16 to 19. Three of the party members musician Tigilau Ness, Associate Professor Dr Melani Anae and Reverend Alec Toleafoa gave public lectures at Miharo and schools in Invercargill on Tuesday and Wednesday about the party and social injustices faced by Polynesian communities.
