Dear Editor, (Sent to the Wanganui Chronicle 16/2/16)
I suggest to Cushela C Robson that it would be a good idea to give up her load of white guilt. Whatever might have been the situation in Britain, pre-Treaty Maoris were probably the most savage race on earth. In a few decades, about one-third of the Maori population was slaughtered by other Maoris, with cannibalism and slavery on a massive scale and many living in a state of acute fear and dread. British colonization saved them from all this.
If she believes Potonga Neilson, she will believe any fairy tale. I recommend that she read "One Treaty, One Nation", available from PO Box 22143, Khandallah 6441, $40, and then she will be really well-informed.

Dear Editor, (Sent to the Bay of Plenty Times 16/2/16)
I fully agree with your correspondent P. Burrell who challenges Peter Dey's opinion on treaty matters.
To further complicate Mr. Dey, I wonder if he has read "The Littlewood Treaty" by Martin Doutre?
Every expert on the treaty knows that the final English draft had gone missing in 1840. When this Littlewood treaty was discovered 150 years later in the home of solicitor Henry Littlewood, Claudia Orange referred to the lost final draft as "this could be the one that was never located"
The handwriting is proved by NZ's leading handwriting expert Dr. Phil Parkinson of the National Archives to be that of James Busby and the paper is watermarked W. Tucker 1833 and is known to be from Police Magistrate James Clendon's private stock of paper and no other.
In 2000, the late Ngapuhi chief Graham Rankin said "the official English text on the treaty being used today is radically different from the Maori version in both wording and meaning, but the Littlewood treaty wording is exactly the same as the Maori version.
How embarrassing for the gravy-train advocates this inconvenient truth must be, with no mention at all of forests and fisheries!

Peter Deys article
Peter Dey letter(13/02/2016 is quick to criticise M J Anderson
(12/2/2016) and Bryan Johnstone (8/2/2016) letter to the editor but
provides no evidence about allegations he makes against these people.
Mr. Dey knows very well the grievance industry is one of the largest
businesses in New Zealand and if he is a recipient naturally he would
not want it to stop.
Mr. Dey states governments did not honor the treaty but is short on
facts to support the argument but again very quick to recognize a
twisted version of the treaty as it supports an endless supply of money.
As M J Anderson rightly points out a document perpetrated by
unprincipled white liberalists, lawyers, and radical Maori under the
Lange government, Geoffrey Palmer, Robin Cooke but to name a few and a
Waitangi Tribunal stacked with appointed people sympathetic to the
Maori cause,and a continuous cash flow of money paid for by
taxpayers.What more could Mr.Dey ask for.
