We like to think that there is very little corruption within our fair land, but something which is coming to life on the internet may well shake up our complacency.
A gentleman in Wellington by the name of John Ansell (you can Google him apparently) has come out against the Maoris and their Treaty of Waitangi claims over the last 37 years.
The reactions have been fascinating, with Maori refuting the evidence, (some in rather nasty language) and another gentleman from the National Business Review (who did a summary of Ansell's claims on their website) saying that nothing they had done in the last three years had produced such an outpouring of interest.
But we really should not be surprised, over the centuries various men have struggled for ultimate power and control. This is exactly the same thing and if we do not take an interest and get involved, then history will repeat itself.
But perhaps marmite may return to our stores next week and we can all forget about anything serious (like the above) while we rush to replenish our skinny and starved bodies with our favourite spread.
After all, its loss was far more important, than the sale of a few farms to a country that we cannot buy land in.
