RACIAL EQUALITY
Re. Wally Hicks' letter, July 14 on racial equality. The Treaty was ratified by "the borders of New South Wales (NSW) being extended to encompass all of the islands of New Zealand" and by this means Maoris became British citizens devoid of racial privilege.
Founding document? NZs true founding document is Queen Victoria's Royal Charter of 16-11 -1840. Ratified on 03-05 1841, this Royal Charter authorised our split from NSW to become an independent British colony, Hobson's promotion to become our first Governor, our first constitution, English law only, our own Courts to oversee English law only, English language and eventually our own flag which is older than Australia's.
The correct name for "Land Wars" is "Maori Wars"; triggered by returned slaves from the Waikato chasing Taranaki settlers off their land at the point of their guns in 1844, 16 years before British are blamed, and this after they accepted payment for the land. Maori Kingites advanced to within 40 miles of Auckland and threatened to exterminate every white man, woman and child in 1860, three years before Government troops crossed the Maungatawhiri Stream.
My belief is that if Maoris were treated like grown-ups from the beginning, instead of children, they would be capable of standing on their own two feet like everyone else and would have no need for massive costs like $1,483,818,000 of 1993-1994 year. What would this be in 2016?
Around 2004 application was made to the highest International Court in the world,The Hague, for Maori Indigenous Rights and were turned down.
