TRUE DEMOCRACY? A system of Government for the whole population not just were a 15 per cent minority try to rule. One would think that your blood line would determined which race you could claim as a right. However, if you have a few millilitres of Maori blood you can claim to have Maori birthright. Even so they are still a minority group. Closing in on two hundred years of white man’s rule in this country, even badly at times, they remain the elected government elected by the majority.
These groups seem hell-bent, year-after year to insult the heads of government on Waitangi Day because they claim it to be theirs. And not only that but are also fighting among themselves. I believe it was the Kirk Government who brought in New Zealand Day but to appease Maori leaders who claim to be so strong on their protocol it was decided it should be called Waitangi Day. To invite the Prime Minster only so they could preach their opinions but deny him right of reply is not only un-democratic but an insult to him along with the other 85% of the population. Democracy?

ON THE TREATY Seeing as it is Waitangi weekend, I thought it may be prudent to remember what was said “We are now one people”. Nowhere was it said “We are now partners” G H Howick
