Quote “The Treaty is moving in as surely as the tide. In the statutes of our Parliament, in bureaucratic operations, in the level of the administration of the courts and in local authority planning, the Treaty is now well known. You know when we stand at the foreshore we do not always see the movement of the tide. We see no more than the regular breaking of the waves as if no painful inch is gained. But look back to the creeks and inlets. There, silently, IT IS PLAIN TO SEE THE TIDE RUNNING AT FULL FLOW …” Unquote --- We want it all and we want it now!
But, at no cost to "maori"
Shame about the NZ taxpayer though!
