Real history of settlements
Your paper has recently given some rather glowing accounts of the Ngati Ranginui iwi Settlement and the subsequent Wilson kneejerk public forum (hui) on that subject held at Baycourt on Monday, 25 June 2012 at very short notice.
Perhaps serious consideration should be given to looking at the other side of the coin.
See Mike Butler – BreakingNews.co.nz and providing some coverage about this so that the public can be better informed about modern day Treaty Settlements and their real history.

Went on the net and found that, I would say if that average NZer read it they would be horrified that the treaty settlements even got off teh ground, there is clearly so much mis-truth and self gratification going on and sadly the public at large are not aware of it as yet.
Real is what you believe...

As an average NZer I just see this as another opinion. Nothing to be horrified about. What is 'Real' is what you want to believe. Some people choose to believe because it suits there agenda but some like to gather their information from a wide range of sources and opinions to ensure they are better informed before coming to any conclusions. Only then will you get closer to the truth.
