  Orewa speech - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
The Orewa Speech is a controversial speech delivered by the leader of the New Zealand National Party Don Brash to the Orewa Rotary Club on 27 January 2004.
The speech itself was framed in terms of equality and pragmatism, arguing for dispensing with affirmative action programs and poorly understood references in legislation to the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi.
Dr Brash returned to Orewa on 25 January 2005, hoping to capitalise on the previous year's success, and gave a speech on social welfare and on welfare dependency.

Orewa II Next Tuesday, Don Brash delivers his second Orewa speech.
If it is a more extreme speech, like 2004, then the message is that National expects to lose the next election and is concerned with consolidating its core vote, in preparation for a stronger run in 2008.
The Orewa speech last year was not full of facts, numbers etc. I think that will take out the economy approach, which was a hard sell anyway.

That speech struck a chord with the public it touched a sensitive nerve with many commentators who have reacted with knee-jerk hostility and it certainly exposed the achilles heel of the Government.
In the Orewa speech, I argued that the Treaty process is out of control, that race-based political correctness is infecting the institutions of our society, and that we are headed towards a racially divided nation, with two sets of laws and two standards of citizenship.
After the Orewa speech there were two quite distinct responses: the first was the scrambling sound of editorial writers and commentators climbing on to their high horses the other was an overwhelmingly positive response from the general public, relieved that at last this issue was being put back on the table for debate.

I hadn't got round to reading the full text of Trevor Mallard's much-ballyhooed speech, 'We are all New Zealanders now', but it proves to have more than a little Michael King in it.
The speeches by Mallard and John Tamihere last week are, certainly, positioning exercises by the government.
His comparison of National's philosophy to that of North Korea is over the top and unfair, but there was plenty that was over the top and unfair in the Orewa speech (the "non-Maori radicals, having climbed high into our social hierarchy" to procure their "dangerous drift towards racial separatism", for example).

Though the sentiments expressed in the Orewa speech differed little from established National Party views, as voiced previously by Bill English, these comments quickly gave National a boost in the polls and apparently indirectly provoked changes of emphasis in Labour's policy agenda.
From the general tone of the speech it was clear that he considered this a significant part of the problems of the DBP.
Shortly after this speech, the National Party Welfare Spokesperson Katherine Rich lost her position due to a policy conflict.

Mr Speaker It must be admitted that Don Brash’s Orewa speech and the subsequent rise of the National Party’s popularity in the polls is sending a clear message to this Parliament.

Now think about Orewa on race: Brash's handlers, in the lead up to the speech, convinced the chattering classes that the speech was going to be something special, their first sign of competence for months.
It then paints a picture of the Dis, or lower reaches of Hell, of Dante's imagination; Maori costing us jobs with their bloody Taniwha, bleeding us dry, being lazy, being uppity, and forcing us down a dangerous path to racial separatism.

This year's Orewa speech is the same, segmenting another group (beneficiaries, especially single parents on the DPB).
As the Clark Government seems (at least) at present to rule most of the common "middle ground", the only viable option for National is to fundamentally shift to the right and campaign on a platform of economic responsibility, watering down of the welfare state and moral social conservatism.
