this is EXACTLY what the last government (Labour-led, plus Greens and Māori Party) began putting in place.
For example, the Rotorua District Council (Representation Arrangements) Bill, votes 77 for 43 against:

This bill legislated for the 22,000 voters on the Māori roll in the Rotorua Ward to have the same voting weight as the 56,000 voters on the General roll, making each white and yellow and polkadot voter count as only 39% of a brown voter. The bill literally gave Maori different privileges based on their ancestry that others don't get.
