Would Waititi qualify for residency?

I’m not against having character questions as part of residency applications but I note that these questions could see TPM co-leader Rawiri Waititi fail to get residency, if he was an applicant.

In 2023 he said:

It is a known fact that Māori genetic makeup is stronger than others

He also once said about European New Zealanders:

‘archaic species is becoming more extinct as a new Aotearoa is on the rise.’

If they are asking character questions, I hope they also include ones like:

• Do you believe it can sometimes be legitimate to use violence to achieve political ends
• Do you think religious beliefs should allow you to break the law
• Do you support equality of suffrage
