This is my Familia. Ppl have no right to use our photos and claim our own...this is about cultural property rights. You wouldn't call it a Maori fair and use other people photos of Whanau.

The requests speak for themselves. Romani. Aotearoa/New Zealand Bill of Rights Act identifies minorities as having the right to cultural, religious and linguistic protection. Aside from a political right the request embodies ethical, egalitarian and democratic ethea.

This has to stop. It they doing this to maori, imdian or any other ethnic people it would be shut down due to racism. Why are they allowed to racially target us rom, where are our rights?

I agree there is no gypsies or Travelers throwing this so why are they using our ethnic group, isn't that fraudulent? At this time why doesn't he throw an all Muslim party so open to the public let's see how that goes over at this time.. If he's not Muslim and has and is not inviting the Muslim people it could not be throwing as a Muslim Fair could it???

I’m appalled the Romany people are still discriminated against. It disgusts me that we even have to have petitions like this, society should have grown up a bit by now...

This should not be happening, romani people are a race of people, nobody can go stealing from our identity and expect us to except it
