With regard to Treaty Claims, Maori are quite correct when they say they were badly treated by the British at times, but these problems were all sorted out in the 1930 and 40s and at the time they payouts were full and final settlements.
Given in, there may have been a few bits missed out, but they were insignificant in truth.
The lie came in 1975 when Maori managed to use an incorrect 'Royal style” treaty written by Hobson's secretary and only used in the Waikato for 40 odd signatures, because there was no room left on the true Maori ‘Te Teriti o Waitangi'. Since then Maori have had us over a barrel and if you think this is wrong, then think again. Because you will never see anybody disputing this fact and the reason is simple.
They will argue all sorts of other stuff, but never the above, because they know that that statement is true and unarguable. Successive Governments also stay away from that too, because they also know the danger of admitting to that simple truth and will do anything else to avoid being shown up for the manipulators and schemers for money and power, that they have been ever since. It really is that simple.
