Rose coloured glasses

Weekend Sun 21 June. Peter Dey has his rose coloured tunnel vision glasses on. He writes about 'anti-Maori letters based on false information and irrational fear”. If he believes everything he writes, he is naïve. 'Maori' are approx 15% of NZ population. A small percentage of these want to take total control of NZ. They are racist radicals, anti everyone else, who want to have for their own everything everyone else has worked hard to accumulate. Many 'Maori” are now speaking out against the proposed new constitution for they can see if it becomes law they will also become disenfranchised and second class citizens. Robin Bishop is correct to state that a number of 'full and final' Treaty settlements have been paid up to five times already. When will this end ?

I have Welsh, French, English ancestry am English with NZ citizenship. Why cannot our mixed blood 'Maori' be content to call themselves New Zealanders ? Where does the Treaty settlement money go ? It certainly doesn't go into 'Maori” education and health as 'Maori leaders” still expect taxpayers to pay for these. Now Harawira wants taxpayers to build 10,000 new houses annually for 'Maori” alone ! If that is not racist policy I don't know what is.

Think about it.

generation claims

Posted on 29-06-2013 19:41 | By ianbarbara@xtra.co.nz

While these alleged claims were the responsibility of the British Government prior to 1947, the New Zealand Government continues to settle these generation claims over and over again using money from taxpapayers that played no part in their creation. Most of the claimants today have more of the ancestry they claim created these alleged grievances than their Maori ancestry, but this is again overlooked by the Waitangi Tribunal and government when recommending,negotiating or settling claims. Most settlements are made to Maori Trust Boards that pay no or little tax amounting to millions of dollars per year. Ian Brougham Wanganui
