Re Robin Bishop of Pyes Pa and R Jackson of Katikati, The Weekend Sun 23 July 2010.
The word is 'angry” not 'resentment”.
I get angry when so many individuals like Robin Bishop and R Jackson submit so much garbage and goobledegook to justify the theft of this beautiful country.
Also there is no doubt out there, there are many more of those right wing rat bags that will continue to do so.
An example of that garbage is the use of the slang word ‘squilions' when the word peanuts would have been far more appropriate.
Maoridom has been robbed left, right and centre of land, gold, timber (forests) and all kinds of minerals over the last 200 years.
Of the 66 ½ million acres this country comprises of, just over one million remains in Maori hands – 65 million acres has been taken.
The theft of what little that is left still continues to this day – I know because I have had personal experience of it.
It is absolute and pure stupidity to say that there are no ‘indigenous' peoples left in this country.
