‘ORWELLIAN’ NZ
The re-writing of New Zealand’s past surfaced in 1975 when the creation of the Waitangi Tribunal provided us with our own equivalent of George Orwell’s ‘Ministry of Truth’ and authentic evidence was often overruled by ‘verbal tribal history’.
New-age historians announced, “Our old historians got it all wrong” thereby denying the existence of pre-Maori inhabitants, with governments adding their support by placing embargoes on 105 sites that showed indications of non-Maori origin.
The manifestly clear objective of the Treaty of Waitangi to unite two races as one people, with equal rights under one common law, has been gradually undermined by re-interpretation of key words in that document, citing modernistic meanings that did not apply at the time treaty was signed.
With Gov't controlled revisionist historians it would be very difficult for the young people of today to envisage the New Zealand that existed in the mid-20th century.
