Dear Editor, (Sent to the Wanganui Chronicle, date unknown)
In 1975 when the Waitangi Tribunal was established it was soon found that it was very difficult to establish Treaty claims using the full English and maori texts of the Treaty of Waitangi or the “official” translations.
It was decided, by the lawyer led Labour Government and Maoridom after 10 years or so of struggling to prove a claim and behind closed doors and without public debate, to create five “made to order” Principles for Crown action on the Treaty. Although these principles bear little if any resemblance to the Treaty of Waitangi the treaty has no Principles, they were very quickly accepted into law are now solely interpreted by the Waitangi Tribunal.
The Treaty is not a legal document but the five “Principles” are the basis for most legislation and treaty claims today.
We feel they were brought about by a Court of Appeal using an “unofficial” Treaty document.
They are a fraud and are not, and never have been part of the Treaty document.

During the week the National Party and the 2 Maori Party Members managed to get a piece of legislation through.
The iwi clauses would entrench co-governance and partnership obligations with iwi maori into local government creating a constitutional change.
The treaty train is headed towards its ultimate goal maori sovereignty through constitutional change and everything that can mean with regards to ultimate power where they will put in a new constitution based on the Bolivian constitution. In Bolivia your house and car will be confiscated, you will then be paying 50/50 rent to the government and maori for the use of your house and car. And the installation of tribal law (not indigenous law, as in universal) each tribe having the power to establish its own laws within its own area even although a tribe might consist of as little as 40 members, no appeal is allowed against their descisions.
We are getting more and more apartheid laws from this National government and most of the people don’t care until its to late
