Perce Harpham: NEW ZEALAND IS WHUCKED!
Wanganui was once the name of what is now written as Whanganui and the “wh” is pronounced as an “f”. This change took about 3 years of public discussion before it occurred so there was some semblance of due legal process.
I do try to accept such changes even though in 2024 I have lived half of the time since the Treaty was signed and the Queen’s writ became the law. And that law was set down as applying to all the “PEOPLE OF NEW ZEALAND”. I have respected that law all of my life. But I do have difficulty with the changes in our administration which have occurred without any public discussion or semblance of due legal process.
One example of our “Whuckedness” is the collapse of our system of ownership of property. The established method of determining ownership is to refer to the documentation held by Land Information New Zealand. This is definitive and distinct from the pre-1840 method of determining ownership by conflict.
Also it is established that we are a Secular country which means that the religious beliefs of any of the citizens have no place in our ownership or taxation structure unless they meet the conditions for registration as a religion for some taxation purposes.
Dr Newman’s article, “Mana or Money”in the NZPCR newsletter of 28 April,2024 gives a number of examples of stand-over tactics employed by Iwi organisations to delay ownership changes until large payments have been made to them. Another example is detailed at:....
