Bruce Moon: AND THE LIES KEEP ROLLING ON!
When I scanned the news items from Stuff last week, I could hardly believe my eyes!
There was a lengthy article from one Olivia Wannan, “Climate Reporter”, beginning: “As the country grapples with the two different versions of our founding document, the Treaty of Waitangi and Te Tiriti, the Government is asserting its authority to curb greenhouse pollution ... [She] asks how our zero-carbon journey can put both at its centre.” And this when “greenhouse pollution” was quite unrecognized, if indeed it existed, when “Te Tiriti” was written!
For heaven’s sake! Please let us start, not with Ms Wannan’s fantasies, but with the actual, verifiable facts of history. Number One: There is one “Treaty of Waitangi”. I repeat: There is one “Treaty of Waitangi”, sometimes referred to as “Te Tiriti o Waitangi”.
This is a document in the Ngapuhi dialect which, in Hobson’s own words,[ii] “was signed at Waitangi on 6th February 1840 by 52 chiefs.[iii] ... This instrument I consider to be de facto the treaty and all the signatures that are subsequently obtained are merely testimonials of adherence to the terms of the original document.”......
