My Speech On Dawn Raids

 My Speech is going to be about the Dawn Raids.


Back in 1974 Dawn Raids Happened,Polynesians and Pasifika people were targeted by most people in NZ, Polynesians would either get thrown out of their house at the early hours of morning for apparently being overstayed their visas or their work permits, many Polynesians have been sent to the pacific islands for this cause, the reason why they call it dawn raids is because the police would arrive in early hours in the morning.


In my Opinion this should have never happened to the polynesians and their family, this was a crucial act and movement made by the government that targeted pasifika people by their skin color and their culture, Pasifika people should have gotten an apology ages ago before their last moments, the pacific cultures should have never been treated differently by racist people.


The color of pacific peoples skin were only noticed by the government himself and people that were racist and fought by the government's side, the color of pacific people should have never mattered to anyone, The skin color of pacific people were judged by most people who were cruel and mean and treated other people differently and judging without knowing their whole story. This is why we should stand up for our rights and what's good for people.


Polynesian Panthers were a group of people that fought for their own rights and did what was best for Pacific people and protested against the government. In protest Polynesian Panthers would organize Counter Raids on homes of several prominent cabinet members who were in favor of the raids.
