What anti Maori letters? In response to Peter Dey's letter, I do not think that the letters over the last few weeks are, or were, intended to be anti Maori, they are just what people are feeling about the way this country is heading and a belief that we all should live under one law, one people, one rule system. And that they are fed up with struggling while a minority group seems to have it handed on a plate in some aspects.
You stated that treaty settlements are not costing that much, seen the total combined Maori assets has passed the $7 billion mark, you will not mind that Maori should stand on their own two feet, rather than the using of the taxpayers' dollar.
And finally as for getting better recognition, get over it, we all deserve that. The whole idea of a constitution and a republic is to change the system and leave the old behind, if you're too hung up on the past then we can never move forward.
