So the Maori Council and the Waitangi Tribunal who represent only 15% of the people of this country has backed the democratically elected government of this country into a corner and forced them to delay the sale of Mighty River Power.
Meanwhile Maori are demanding shares and a say in the running of the company with Tainui saying they want their shares in the company allotted in the interim before the government launches the sale of the company.
Maori demand more and more and the gravy train gets bigger and bigger while other NZ'ers lose their jobs and make endless cuts in almost everything so this can be gifted to Maori.
I say to the government forget the sale of the SOEs if Maori continually make these demands and tell them 'No Sale Equates To No Money To Pay For Future Treaty Settlements”. This government through their pandering to Maori has caused more greed and racial division in this country than any other I have ever known. They only have themselves to blame for the situation they now find themselves in. Roll on the next Election.
