SAGE OR CYNIC?
Bill Ralston may consider himself a witty and erudite observer of and commentator on the human condition, but when he compares those with contrary points of view to rabid racists as he did in his recent Listener article by likening Don Brash and Hobson's Choice adherents to the Ku Klux Klan, he confirms his smugly arrogant public persona.

NOBODY IS INDIGENOUS
Earlier this year I suggested you watch ‘Skeletons in the Cupboard' the first of three documentaries produced by Plumtree Productions. This DVD confirmed in my mind the hypocrisy that NZ law and Acts have been based on since 1975.
The second documentary is available and named ‘Under the Carpet'. This DVD establishes that three or four cultures inhabited NZ prior to the arrival of Polynesian Maori and European. Nobody is indigenous, everybody immigrated to this land. See: vimeo.com/ondemand/nzskeletonsredheads
The dark underbelly of greed and power in this country is exposed in this excellent documentary.

NO RACISM IN EQUAL RIGHTS
Amazingly, the Hobson Pledge Trust has prised most of the race-bleating appeasers, treatyists, revisionists, grievers out of the woodwork, accompanied by the usual ranting, about racists, the bog standard response when they cannot win an argument based on facts, history logic or even common sense. Hobson's ‘one people' statement simply reinforced what the legitimate Maori version of Treaty said: sovereignty ceded, property rights guaranteed; and granting rights and privileges of British subjects with no mention of partnerships, principles or special race-based treatment.
Current Maori vested interests are not a special race yet the Labour Party's Andrew Little, Grant Robertson and Kelvin Davis have jumped into the fray, reinforcing Labours 2014 election thrust for special-preferential race-based treatment.
A strange ‘blond moment' as left wingers always champion equality not privilege. Labour's Maori policies are ruinous, but if you think that's bad go check out the Greens' absurd aberrations - no referendums simply ‘their way or the highway'.
Not a chance that Te Ururoa Flavell and Te Awanui Black, who are ensconced under race-based preference systems, want that to change – they are more than happy with a system of reverse racism protecting their little patches. The National Party bucket list stated ‘race-based' parliamentary seats would be abolished, but recently resiled from that promise. See Taranaki Settlement Bill 2016.
Sadly, those who are given whatever they demand rapidly develop a sense of entitlement quickly losing all sense of proportion and objectivity.
If proposing equal rights for all Kiwis is racist, then I'll be a monkey's uncle!
