Are you aware the separatist Maori sovereignty group is currently holding talks with the Ngapuhi tribe, with the sole purpose of establishing their own government.

Among others, they are involving the military Frank Bainarama of Fiji, and Indonesia, in discussion.

As Maori are 15 per cent of the population, and the Maori and Mana Parties collectively only received aboutfour per cent of votes at the last election, it is abundantly clear three-quarters of Maori do not follow the radical bent of the parties who allegedly speak for them.

If these groups aim to run their own government side by side with our Westminster system, that would be apartheid on a grand scale. About 50 per cent of the power in New Zealand would be controlled by Maori radicals totalling 4 per cent of the population.

Then there is the Takimoana Government, from the East Coast, who want to be a separate nation and pay no taxes to the New Zealand Parliament. However, I am sure both of these groups would still want to suck at the teat of the benevolent government from where all funding comes.

Meanwhile, this month, the racially-biased Constitutional Advisory Panel is considering the nation's response to their attempt to permanently entrench the Treaty of Waitangi into every statute of law, which would enshrine Maori privilege into every aspect of our lives - forever.

I am sure most genuine rational Maori are horrified by the intentions of these divisive groups.

People - wake up to what is happening while you are sleeping.
