Barrie Davis: OH, THE HUMANITY!
We are presently witnessing the closure of some mainstream media companies in New Zealand and it is anticipated there will be more. Several pundits in politics and the media are concerned for the effect their loss will have on democracy in this country. Yet, the mainstream media are known to be biased, overwhelmingly to the Left. The propaganda they published on behalf of the Labour government was instrumental in putting our country in the poor position it is now.
The Government paid them $55 million to “Actively promote the principles of Partnership, Participation and Active Protection under Te Tiriti o Waitangi, acknowledging Māori as a Te Tiriti partner” which they willingly accepted and are now bound to do until 2026. The Treaty is one page which can be read in five minutes. It does not mention principles or partnership, let alone specify them: Those words are just not there. Even Maori leaders say there are no principles in the Treaty.
Iwi leader Helmut Modlik recently wrote (here), “Neither the signed Te Tiriti, nor its unsigned English version, explicitly mention any principles. They are a fiction, derived from the treaty text(s) by the judiciary in the late 20th century …” Mr Tuheitia, who some call ‘kingii’, said much the same thing at Waitangi this year (here at 2:05): “There’s no principles. The Treaty is written. That’s it. … What I want is the Treaty to be engrossed in the law so they can’t change nothing. To understand the Treaty, don’t look at the courts to understand the Treaty, look to the marae.”
To say the Treaty is a partnership is a shameful lie that we are being conditioned to believe by constant repetition in the media.....
