LAW COMMISSION LOOKS TO REWRITE PROPERTY LAW TO INCLUDE TIKANGA MĀORI

The New Zealand Law Commission is investigating the Property (Relationships) Act and whether or not it can extend to recognise tikanga Māori when relationships end and property is divided. Public submissions open next week.

The Law Commission is investigating the Property (Relationships) Act 1976 and how it could extend to include tikanga Māori.

Law Commissioner Helen McQueen says "We think that the law should acknowledge tikanga [Māori protocol] and we want to know whether the Property (Relationships) Act allows tikanga to operate."

The Act handles married couples, civil unions and defacto relationships where partners have been together for a period of three years.

McQueen says "we would like to know whether whanaungatanga is sufficiently taken into account in the Act through things like excluding Māori Land and excluding taonga so that important items of property are dealt with in a way that is consistent with tikanga.".....

How about taking the food laws a step further to include maori protocol so we can murder and eat each other? How about women's rights and take them back to the maori way of treating them as breeding machines with no rights whatsoever? How about reintroducing slavery as per maori pre 1840? And we may as well do away with conservation laws so that we can wipe out the Kiwi, and the Takahe etc as the maori did to the Moa and the Huia and other birds. Basically, lets go back to the stoneage and embrace every backward step.
