Rights will divide country

Giving access to our seabed and foreshore and the right to develop it to Maori will divide the country and all so that National can have the vote of the Maori party and through that remain in POWER. Best use of resources, what's best for the country etc have no part in their plans to retain control in Parliament.
The constant giving to Maori, at the expense of others, is becoming a farce. From at home baby sitting, special consideration on all fronts such as education, health welfare even preference for employment at Whanau Ora, there is no end to what they demand and Key gives.
It may only stop when National is kicked out and after many years of support, my vote will now go to the Party that stops this nonsense, be it Act or NZ First. A bonus would be scrapping the Waitangi Tribunal and the making of awards.

Maori claims

Posted on 04-12-2010 13:02 | By Socantor

Here is a different perspective from a European. As I see it, Maori had it all before settlers came from overseas. Then they signed up to the Treaty of Waitangi, which in the minimum guarantees them free and continued access to their lands, fisheries and forests. Since then, Maori have been progressively conned into giving most of those resources to the settlers, or the settlers have helped themselves through war and confiscations. That being the indisputable case, why not put the representatives of the settlers (government)in the dock and have them justify why they should continue to hold those resources? I suspect the Crown could only keep what it has through further legal trickery. Honour and justice have nothing to do with it, and people like Stuart Keene are simply perpetuating the same lies that have been spoken over the past 160 years.
