There are many points of misinformation in O’Malley’s Newsroom article which need correcting for truth’s sake, I will do so by furnishing links to relevant articles to save me regurgitating it all. - newsroom.co.nz/2024/02/21/the-incident-in-rangiaowhia/

But first let’s correct O’Malley’s ‘invasion of Waikato’ nonsense - The Waikato tribal lands were an integral part of the British sovereign territory of New Zealand. Any move to restore effective sovereignty there was entirely legitimate and the armed resistance which was encountered was an overt act of rebellion.

Now lets take a look at Mr O’Malley’s tendency to be creative with the truth > sites.google.com/view/kiwifrontline/treatyists/vincent-omalley

Back to sorting facts from nonsense in the article
Roger Childs writes > O’Malley is regarded by the mainstream media as one of New Zealand’s top historians and a leading authority on the country’s 19th century history.

BUT THE REALITY IS, he is selective in the evidence he provides; subjective in his conclusions and is often devious and dishonest. At talk in Wellington a few years ago he admitted his intense dislike of the English. (uppercase emphasis added)

Lastly, a quote from military chaplain Frank Glen, "Australians at War in NZ", p/146
"Cameron,with commendable humanasiasm, wanted to avoid a set piece confrontation because the likely casualties would be severe on both sides.". - that in regard to Cameron bypassing Paterangi Pa and taking control of the rebels food supply line at Rangiaowhia.

I think that covers it.
