Winston Peters knew quite some time back about the 'Littlewood Treaty' and NZ First policies have forever been 'We are now all one people.”
I do not concur with the oft heard slur 'Winston is racist” and I believe also the Seabed and Seashore settlement ironed out by Winston and Helen Clark (and stupidly rescinded by John Key and National) was the way to go. The 'Littewood Treaty” found in a drawer in 1989 puts to rest the false claim that Governor Hobson signed a document that did not include 'We are all one people.” Moreover the document signed by Hobson made no mention of Maori getting 'forests and fisheries.” It is total nonsense for Maori to claim the treaty was a partnership between them and the Crown. Britain was the number one superpower of the world - what the Treaty granted Maori was the rights of British subjects.
Don Brash flagrantly used parts of the NZ First constitution to gain the National Party leadership and now Colin Craig is doing the same. Both have other agendas which do not include a fair go for all New Zealanders.
David Lange and Sir Geoffrey Palmer's 'Treaty of Waitangi Act 1975” is a huge racially divisive mistake.
