WINE INSANITY
Now here is something hard to swallow — wine. Yes, you heard right — wine.
Our guilt- ridden raceorientated legislators have issued a Wine & Spirits Amendment Bill that allows Maori special rights to control the proposed names of wine.
No doubt this is a “right” bestowed upon today’s partMaori by the imaginary “Principles of the Treaty” invented by Sir Geoffrey Palmer.
(Mr Palmer must have seen a different Treaty from the one that I have read, as the only obvious principles that I could see were that Maori ceded sovereignty to the Queen in return for the rights of British citizenship and that all NZers were now united as one people under one law.)
But really! Maori approval having to be sought to name a wine?
I had thought that our appeasers had reached the ultimate heights in insanity, but apparently I was wrong.
So what might the future hold?
Parents beware — if you want to name your child other than Rangi or Moana you may have to appear before a Maori select committee to seek their okay. James and John, Janet and Jacqueline may no longer be politically correct.
Winston — please get the balance of power in the next election. I think I am going to throw up.

PARTY FOR TREATY REVISIONISTS
One cannot deny the various philanthropies of Gareth Morgan but at times his reasoning seems to be over-ridden by enthusiasm and the need to control. He studied the Treaty of Waitangi and, without regard for the wording of its three articles, he wrote a book about it.
In a media article he suggested another House, comprised of about half Maori, be added to Parliament to look after their special needs. Australia, Canada and Great Britain he said had a second House but it is doubtful that Australia’s Senate is filled with Aborigines or Canada's Senate with First Nation People.
If his proposed Opportunities Party gains any traction in Parliament one may assume that much of its time will be directed towards meeting the special needs of that small, elitist coterie of Treaty revisionists. They constitute but a small number of the 14 per cent of Maori in the population but the average Maori gains no benefit all from the settlements they have gained. (Abridged)

PUT CHILDREN FIRST
I was disgusted to read Marama Fox’s claim in the Herald that an “overhaul of CYF is risking creating a ‘stolen generation’ of Maori children”.
Ms Fox stated, 63 per cent of CYF children and 71 per cent of young people in prison are Maori and Ms Fox then made the shameful claim “it wasn’t Maori families that failed their children, the system failed their children”. What utter garbage.
Would Ms Fox kindly explain why 63 per cent of Maori children were in CYF’s care in the first place. I have yet to hear Maori take responsibility for how their families turn out.
When all families put their children first and put positive input into their lives such as love, food, necessities, education, etc all families, including Maori, will have positive outcomes. (Abridged)
