BRASH TO EXPLAIN HOW ‘PARTNERSHIP’ HIJACKED THE TREATYMaori and the Crown are not partners in any sense of the word yet an ideology of Treaty partnership has hijacked the Treaty of Waitangi, Don Brash will explain at a public lecture on Saturday.What the Treaty actually said was this: Through Article 1, the chiefs ceded sovereignty to Queen Victoria. Article 2 confirmed that chiefs, tribes and the people of New Zealand owned what they owned although chiefs could sell what they wanted to an agent of the Queen if they so wished. Article 3 promised the Maori people of New Zealand protection and the rights of British subjects. It is constitutionally impossible for the Crown to enter into a partnership with any of its subjects. The true position is that the Crown is sovereign but owes duties of justice and good faith to the Maori descendants of those who signed the Treaty, and indeed to all New Zealanders. DON WILL SPEAK AT STURGES WEST COMMUNITY HOUSE IN HENDERSON
AT 7PM ON SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 23.
SPACE IS LIMITED TO THE FIRST 200 PEOPLE.
