As a co-author of 'Twisting the Treaty”, I reply to Aaron Authier's letter to you. If he has read the book, his misunderstanding is grotesque.
It is he and his like, not ourselves, who are the neo-Nazis in this country with their claims of special racist rights, lies about the Treaty of Waitangi and suchlike – big lies in the true Nazi style.
We stand for equality for all citizens, regardless of race, and taxpayer support on the basis of need, not greed – true democracy. It was not Hone Heke, as he says, who said in signing the Treaty at Waitangi 'We are one people now” but Hobson, who said it to every chief as he signed.
It is nonsense to pretend that this implies Crown/Maori 'partnership”, a fantasy initiated by that learned but foolish judge, Robin Cooke, who exceeded his brief in doing so. There is nothing, simply nothing, in the Treaty which confers on Maoris, or anybody else, rights which are not enjoyed by all the people of New Zealand.
Granted that Tuhoe did not sign the Treaty, it follows immediately that they are not entitled to a cent in 'Treaty settlements” and therefore must hand back immediately the huge sums and assets they have been given recently – perhaps they expect to have it both ways?
We seek truth in these matters and if anything we say is wrong, we shall correct it publicly. Only be starting with the truth can we reduce the increasing racial tensions which threaten to do great harm to all New Zealanders.
