A.E. Thompson: TE TIRITI INTO THE DUSTBIN OF HISTORY
Open Letter to National Party Leader Christopher Luxon and National Party President Sylvia Wood:
Dear Christopher and Sylvia,
I have never in my life voted for National. This year I have been considering doing so to try to stop the current socialist administration from wrecking New Zealand further. However, I could not bring myself to do so if Mr Luxon is prepared to speak dishonestly as was the case about his MP's Joseph Mooney's obviously correct statement about Te Tiriti.
Authoritative translations into English of Te Tiriti including that by Sir Apirana Ngata in 1922 and even the biased (towards Maori preference) translation by Waitangi Tribunal member Professor Sir Hugh Kawharu in 1989 clearly state what Mr Mooney tweeted: that full possession (Sir Apirana), or unqualified exercise of chieftainship (Sir Hugh), or tino rangatiratanga (Te Tiriti) of land, homes and possessions was guaranteed to ALL THE PEOPLE OF NEW ZEALAND. Mr Luxon's claim that Mr Mooney "got it wrong on this occasion" cannot be reconciled with the facts.
Whether Mr Luxon's untruth resulted from his lack of knowledge of the contents of Te Tiriti or from some intention to avoid criticism from the woke, racist NZ minority, it's unacceptable to misrepresent the truth…...
