MAORI MILLIONS
For the past few weeks Don Brash has had people having a go at him over his suggestion that Maori should not be given more than other New Zealanders.
Watching Parliament and the media it is seen that Maori want all of us to contribute more to their poor and those who have no housing.
I must ask, why, over the past 100 years, we, New Zealanders, have given millions and millions to Maori yet where has it gone?
Why have they not seen that their people have gained, and not be permitted to remain in the poorest bracket, why is it that those who control their affairs seem to have blown it on all manner of crazy things and mainly for the benefit of the leaders.
If the leaders say this has not been the case, then let them advise us where all the millions have gone.

TWO PATHS AHEAD
With the emergence of “Hobson’s Pledge”, a lobby group fronted by Dr Don Brash, New Zealand now has the opportunity to go down one of two paths.
We can continue spiralling down the Government-assisted path to tribalism whereby our tried-and-true system of democracy will be laid to rest, our freshwater will become under tribal control and Resource Management Act issues will need tribal consultation.
Or New Zealanders can remount the path that was innovatively laid out in the Treaty of Waitangi 1840 in which all citizens, regardless of race, were equal under one law.
I urge readers to Google “Hobson’s Pledge” as New Zealand will never have a better opportunity to reverse the cancerous racial separatism that is pervading our society today.
