WINSTON PETERS SPEECH – CAMBRIDGE 18/6/23
They are re-writing history, then using that rewrite, to justify new laws which are purely based on racism, separatism, and the seeds of apartheid.
To do that, they have to first deny history, deny facts, and substitute them with fiction.
This is their nefarious platform justifying the unnotified, unmandated, unelected, policies so secretly being introduced.
How else can you explain Prime Minister Hipkins claiming that Three Waters is "not co-governance and it wasn’t co-governance", then the next day have the Minister in charge, Kieran McAnulty, say they are keeping co-governance in Three Waters "for a number of reasons, one of which is that Maori have a special interest in water."
This is both an absolute farce and deceit.
Put simply, what Maori think they get thirsty, but you don’t? Or that you and your ancestors having built all of the water infrastructure in this country now don’t get a final say in owning and running it?
But, this is not about ordinary Maori. This is about a certain Maori elite who have never even asked their own people, the mass majority of who are on the General Electoral Roll with you.
To get to where these politicians are taking us, they deal in shibboleths and lies, including these four claims:
That the arrival of Europeans ruined the peaceful paradise of Maori,
That the Treaty of Waitangi saw Maori begin a partnership with Queen Victoria,
That the Treaty of Waitangi was not about Maori ceding sovereignty, That the Treaty of Waitangi in 1840 meant Maori ‘self-government’
Stop for a moment and ask yourself, whether you’re Maori or non-Maori, can any of those four statements be remotely true?
It puts one in mind of the malignant statement - "if you’re going to tell a lie, make sure it’s a big one, because its more likely to be believed." Every Iwi anthology of the inter-tribal wars makes the ‘Maori Garden of Eden’ a complete myth.
If no one in Britain or the UK or the whole British Empire was in a partnership with the Crown on the 5th of February 1840, then how could it be constitutionally true that Maori were, two days later?
The fact is Maori ceded sovereignty to the Crown when they signed the Treaty. The Chiefs back then said so, as did many leading Maori later, including Sir Apriana Ngata, Sir Maui Pomare, and Sir Peter Buck. Only todays elite power hungry Maori and their cultural fellow travelers seek to deny history and facts and arrogantly argue otherwise.
All Maori Iwi pre-1840 and well after, were under the control of their ‘Rangatiratanga’. That means their Chief’s word was gospel. If there was back then co-government, which Chief’s word, if different, was gospel?
The elite’s argument does not stand up to the slightest scrutiny. Under their own description of ‘co-government’ pre 1840 then Maori were constantly at war.
And every honest Maori knows it. And there’s the rub. Democracy
We’ve known since 1893 that to have a democracy every qualifying adult must have a right to vote and each vote should be of the same value.
Today there are political parties with policies that will destroy this basic principle of democracy. Look at their record.
Not one of them can make New Zealand First’s claim, to have remained steadfast in support of one franchise, where all citizens regardless of creed or race, are equal…..
