Dear Editor, (Sent to the BoP Times 4/3/18)
Simon Bridges to Corin Dann on Maori language, 4/3/18: “”I think we have an obligation, actually, under the Treaty of Waitangi fundamentally to make it available, to encourage it.” I am quite sure too that if we tried, we could find a politician to assert that we have an obligation, actually, under the Treaty of Waitangi fundamentally to provide every Maori with free toilet paper. After all, it is a “taonga” if ever there was one!

Dear Editor, (Sent to the Dominion Post 28/2/18)
Numerous polls have repeatedly shown that the majority of New Zealanders feel the same as Jo Murphy. She is calling for some commonsense regarding the wholesale promotion of te reo and making Wellington a bilingual city (Letters 28/2/18).
Wellington City Council is dictatorially foisting maorification on their residents. They arrogantly ask “how do we achieve this?” rather than asking the people whether they even want it!
Landowners are obliged to pay rates for the building and maintaining of infrastructure and essential services. Rates are certainly not paid so that elected public servants can push their pet ideologies.
In the news media just recently WCC is looking at introducing a ‘bed tax’ to make ends meet, in affect visitors to the city are paying for the maoriorising of the city.
Kiwis wanting the Council to get a grip, can sign Kiwi Frontline’s petition: ‘Council must meet Wellington’s basic needs, NOT push ideology’. It’s available online at Change.org
