Mr Kuipers von Lande, You might want to re-read my letter it's written in clear English too, where's that (English) dictionary you were talking about.
I say this because you've mis-interpreted almost everything I wrote. That's alright humans make mistakes don't we. Interesting point regarding the preservation of 'Te Reo Maori” and how were it not for our Learned friends who so cleverly transferred maori into the written form, we would have all but lost it completely. How on earth did we manage to keep it for the previous 800 years prior to Colonization by the British? my my ......
Why did you quote Hitler? Who does that?
Where you discuss the Treaty 'that the results were to be utilised for the good of all citizens regardless of ethnicity” how did this meet the Confiscations of land occupied by Maori?
Basically what you are saying is that we should leave things exactly as they are, forget the Confiscations and any ill done toward Maori and carry on as we are. However, if any ill falls toward non-maori we should kick up a stink and demand retribution. Then for any Maori that wishes to re-claim that which was theirs anyway, we'll call it theft!
Many phone calls I made this morning to Local Government and National Government to enquire about this 'Home Insulation” scheme proved fruitless when I asked for specifically Maori only funding. Seems it doesn't exist Mr Kuipers von Lande.
Once again I say, thankfully not all New Zealanders are singled minded.
Kia kaha tatau te iwi maorii!
