Wanganui Chronicle 29/1/16
FOUNDING DAY
After Governor Hobson witnessed the last signature to the Treaty of Waitangi, his superior, Governor Gipps of New South Wales (NSW), extended the boundaries of NSW to cover all of the islands of New Zealand and we became a dependency of NSW and ruled by this state in exactly the same way as the island now known as Tasmania.
At this point, the treaty was ratified and laid to rest — inquiries about the treaty to be directed to the government of New South Wales. Queen Victoria's Royal Charter of November 16, 1840, ratified on May 3,1841 (the true founding date of our real founding document) is the document that split us from NSW. It gave us English law only, our own courts to administer English law only and, eventually, our own flag, which is older than Australia's.
There cannot be a breach of the treaty, there can only be a breach of the laws of New Zealand that should be heard by Her Majesty's Courts, established by our true founding document, the above Royal Charter Letters Patent, and not the apartheid Waitangi Tribunal, which denies the right of participation or appeal by non-Maori. Our founding day should be May 3, when the Royal Charter was ratified.
