Well, one effect was a major decline in population because of diseases being introduced that the Maori were not used to. Seeing as the settlers were from another continent and were immune, or at least built up some immunity, to the illnesses they brought over. The Maori had not encountered these illnesses and their bodies took it for the worst.
