TAINUI SAVES THE GOVERNMENT FROM A SEABED AND FORESHORE MOMENT
OPINION: It sets a bloody dangerous precedent, doesn't it?
Set up a protest, force the owner off his property. No, it's not Zimbabwe, it's New Zealand. Have we not learnt a thing?
Don't like a land deal or building project? Don't fret, grab a couple of foul-mouthed racists called Harawira, show your ignorance, then plant your backsides where your mouth is: near the gutter, but firmly in the middle of a development going nowhere.
Mugabe would be proud.
I'm frankly surprised we haven't had more of this, because the best land is usually private land and it's off the table for Treaty settlements. A sore point, yes, but one that has been accepted for 30 years, until now.
This is a private land issue, with the Treaty and all our questionable and torrid history in neon lights behind it.
This was about relitigating a confiscation. Problem is the land has been in private ownership for decades. Fletchers bought it legitimately, no question.
Make no mistake, this is an attack on private property and must be seen as such. It could happen at your place......
