Abstract
This article examines the participation
of Australian-resident Māori in voting,
first in their New Zealand homeland and,
secondly, in Australia. It concludes with
comments about the extent of their political
disenfranchisement and lack of electoral
participation, which I argue places Māori
in an almost unique position amongst
Australia’s ‘ethnic’ immigrant groups.
Keywords: Māori in Australia, voting, disenfranchisement, electoral participation, migration
