Re: Ninety Mile Beach access in Treaty of Waitangi negotiation.
The confidence expressed by Treaty Settlements Minister Chris Finlayson and the promises made by Maori over the control of the Ninety Mile Beach engenders little confidence among many of the population, as they've seen past restrictions made on access to public land in other parts of the country by iwi.
This action again highlights the racially-biased nature of the National Government, which through the granting of the Foreshore and Seabed Act, is giving control of a large area of the coast exclusively to 14 per cent of the population.

You hit the nail on the head again B Johnson,by the time the National Gov't has finished giving away huge tracts of K1W1 owned land, and the rights to it, how will NZ as a separatist nation split into individual little "conclaves" go "forward, talk about an ambiguous and pathetic statement from Christina Finlayson on public rights to ninety mile beach, he actually said,quote, Treaty Negotiations Minister Chris Finlayson reassured local operators that they were {unlikely} to be "{overly affected}" by the co-governance arrangement between iwi and local authorities. take a good look campers, ""Finlayson said's "unlikely,"and "overly effected",what is he "really" saying, he doesn't know and whats more he couldn't care less, he and Honest John are on a crusade!!!.

You are correct yet the apathy of NZ has worked against us and we have played into the hands of the undemocratic racist claims and the failed Finlayson.
