Government is actively promoting its proposed ‘new approach to ownership' ie customary title, in The Marine and Coastal Area Bill with their usual half truths (Chris Finlayson in The Weekend Sun, March 4).
Wake up New Zealand. Customary title carries more rights than our usual Freehold title.
Race based privilege is unacceptable in New Zealand.
John Key should honour his word and withdraw the bill.

These writers obviously have no honour and believe that the Treaty of Waitangi is null and void. Freehold title is an English concept imposed on Maori. There are two distinct mainstream cultures alive and well in NZ; one is large and powerful, the other is not. This is not apartheid, but it is a fact. They already co-exist and would do so very happily if it were not for the bigots from the majority who, ever since 1840, have wanted it all. Anyone who denies it knows neither their history nor the current state of cultural discourse in NZ.
