LONG LIVE THE KING!
Since the Maori Party may well hold significant influence after the next election, let’s examine what else they are promoting on their website.
They want to entrench the Maori seats, force all Maori to register on the Maori electoral roll (a move that would end up doubling the number of Maori seats) and establish a Maori Parliament. They would re-open the Treaty settlement process, enable tribal claims on private land, and transfer the conservation estate to Maori. Waitangi Tribal recommendations would become binding on the Government (giving the Tribunal superior legal status to Parliament), and a new constitution based on the Treaty of Waitangi would be introduced.
Their ambition to control the country – and gain access to unlimited wealth and privilege – represents a significant threat to New Zealand’s future.
If these extremists succeed in replacing our unwritten constitution with a new written version based on the Treaty, it would be a disaster – as constitutional law expert David Round has explained: > www.nzcpr.com/charter-declaration-of-equality/
“The Maori Party’s avowed aim is to put the ‘principles of the Treaty’ into our constitution. Thereafter the special status and privilege of those of Maori descent will be guaranteed for ever. It would be impossible to undo such an arrangement, for any attempt by Parliament or anyone else to do so would thereafter be ‘unconstitutional’. If the Treaty gets into our constitution – if there is any mention of it which an unscrupulous judge can use – then the majority of the people of New Zealand will become second-class citizens in their own country. This must not happen. If it does happen, then our increasingly unhappy, impoverished and divided country will be irrevocably stuffed.”
It remains a tragic fact that most New Zealanders are unaware of the threat that a new written constitution represents. Currently, our unwritten constitution not only guarantees the sovereignty of Parliament, but it provides a powerful democratic safeguard – if our government runs amok, we can vote them out at the next election.
If New Zealand had a written constitution however, Parliament would no longer be sovereign – we would be forever beholden to unelected Judges who would make the laws and be accountable to no one.
