On a bandwagon

Once again Robin Bell is ‘on the bandwagon' regarding race relations (The Weekend Sun, August 23).

He lambastes both Don Brash and Margaret Murray-Benge when he states that the Hobson's Pledge Organisation is ‘distinctly anti-Maori'.

He states Maori have not been ‘assisted in reasserting their fundamental rights'.

In fact Maori have no more' rights' than any other New Zealander. The Treaty clearly states that fact. All New Zealanders are equal and under the same Sovereign and flag. We are one.

Over the past few decades Maori have had ample assistance in all areas of modern society.

Most have taken advantage of what's on offer, a small radical minority have not, and probably never will.

It's very clear that R Bell has never read the Waitangi Treaty, and if he has then he's confused and has a distorted view as to what it says.
