Good to read such positive comments emanating from the 'pen” of Pete Morris. His subject matter is informative, timely, succinct and demonstrably well researched. It provides a useful background for those of us in unfamiliar territory. Keep up the good work.

Come on mate Pete is in fairy land, keeps talking 90 to the dozen but yet to find a single verified fact anywhere in it all. All we see is repeat versions from eslewhere like the Whaitangi Tribunal's self created self professing, self back slapping, self preservation history versions of NZ, sadly nothing relates to the actual historic records that are steadily being re-written and filed as being the truth but all merely puts Alice In Wonderland look like something real in comparison. Like hello ... Even as said there "we can make words mean what ever you want them to be ..."
Treaty-gate?

There were some 5-6 versions of that and they were all written up after 6/2/1840, the first was scribbled out one evening before a Maori Chief's meeting in Raglan that occurred after 6/2/1840. This is just one version of many that Freeman circulated around the place and as Pete says one was even sent to NSW, but not long after Hobson confirmed that it was not his signature on it and that the only genuine treaty document was the Littlewood Final Draft and its translation into Maori. Funny thing that if the Littlewood Final Draft is translated correctly you get the Maori Treaty that was signed in Waitangi on 6/2/1840 and that just happens to be the one in the Waitangi Treaty Act 1975. But the English version enacted is not the Littlewood Final Draft it is the discredited Freeman document that has somehow got in there and that is the only reason that there no is so much mischief about the place. All of this information is all over the internet and so I hope Pete is able to move past "Treaty-gate 101" and get to the essence of it. We are all here to help him search and find the truth on this path that he has chosen to take towards enlightenment.
