WAITANGI DISRUPTIONS PROMOTE RESENTMENT AND FEUDALISM
Waitangi Day celebrations will soon be disrupted once again by the circus of dysfunctional and disaffected. It should be a joyous day, celebrating an amazingly enlightened treaty for its time with its citizen equality and property rights. Its commitment to law and order saw the end of tribal warfare and the development of a peaceful and pleasant democracy.
I cannot understand the foolishness of those determined to ruin the day. They reinterpret history, and promote lies, resentment, feudalism and separatism.
Celebrating culture is to be encouraged. Instilling apartheid ideology is destructive and dangerous.
The only winners are the greedy and selfish tribal mafia.
We just have to look around our homes, sports and workplaces to see that most of us are definitely united as New Zealanders. We cannot take the Maori out of the Pakeha, no more than we can take the Pakeha out of the Maori. We are one despite the usual familial quirks.
A national day reset is the solution. Let’s celebrate “New Zealand Day”, which is what most are already doing informally on February 6 anyway.
Away from the political limelight, we are just Kiwis wanting to share good times with friends, family and our communities.

DIVISIVE CLAIMS
Hinemoa Elder wants to weed out those ‘colonial lies’ (Focus, January 27).
There are many lies touted by today’s activist Maori and their European sycophants which urgently need weeding.
Such as, “the chiefs never ceded sovereignty”, yet Article one of the Treaty of Waitangi that the majority of chiefs signed clearly states ceding of sovereignty.
Then there is the creative lie that there is a “Crown/Maori partnership”; there is nothing written in the true Maori language ToW that remotely implies a “partnership”.
‘Land stolen’ is another common myth, the chiefs sold 24.13 million hectares of New Zealand’s 26.8-million hectares, only 2.3% of New Zealand remained legally confiscated as a consequence of the 1860s tribal rebellions, after 1928.
I could go on.... but these divisive lies must be consigned to the bin in order for our nation to unite as one.
