Shabby treatment not known

The National Party's present high standing in pre-election media reports is proof of the majority of New Zealanders' lack of awareness of shabby treatment this party has produced in six years.

This includes the broken promises, like abolition of the Maori Party and the electoral system review, blatant disregard of the public's wishes as expressed in media polls, arrogant dismissal of overwhelming results in referenda and racist policies in national and local government by promoting un-elected representation on national boards and committees.

There's also the foreshore and seabed betrayal, which resulted in many whanau claiming exclusive rights over much of the coast, disproportionate Maori representation on the Waitangi Tribunal and Constitutional Advisory Panel; and undemocratic preferences in funding 14 per cent of the population, who choose to be Maori, by enormous lots of taxpayer money doled out by Chris Finlayson in settlements.

Many are of dubious authenticity. And the fact Finlayson, who gained great resources as a Ngai Tahu litigant, was then appointed Minister of Treaty Claims shows extreme political nepotism.

John Key may well escape being remembered as a leader who successfully sold out his countrymen - without them even being aware. Wake up New Zealand.

B Johnson, Omokoroa.

Alternatives are worse

Perhaps their shabby treatment IS known, but the immoral policies of the alternatives promise WORSE. Voting for the best of 2 evils is STUPIDITY - it means you are giving your permission to somebody to do things you disagree with. Ignorant people voting are as dangerous to life and property as drunk drivers. Its just as well that a large percentage of the population do not vote. Democracy only works if people know what they are really voting for, and the government monopoly on the education system ensures that GENERATIONS of kiwis are lacking in this department.
