BREACH OF CONTRACT CLAUSES - NO!
Re: In response to Peter Dey's letters in Western BOP media. The Waitangi Tribunal is a racist rort, set up by government, for purely political reasons, to appease a very vocal minority of part-Maori Treaty revisionists. Check the members' affiliations.
A tribunal who rubber-stamp every application for Maori claims without any verification required. No claim is refused. Racist? Yes, because it only considers the injustices claimed by 14 per cent of the population. The remaining 86 per cent of us have not been provided by, government, recourse to the injustices wrought on early settlers, such as the multi-sales by Maori of land that they never owned and the slaughter of settlers and devastation of their land by rebel factions. And, Mr Dey, they were rebels, against the Laws of the Land that their forebears had agreed to. Don't use the excuse of the naïveté of the Maori signatories.
You still have not provided a single valid instance of your claimed breaches of the Treaty. Just your same old waffle.
It is ridiculously anachronistic to compare present day concepts to those pertaining 175 years ago. ‘Breach of Contract?' Bah! Humbug!

LITTLEWOOD DRAFT FACTS...
This month Peter Dey has sent Letters to the Editor in the Western BOP about the Treaty of Waitangi and the ‘Littlewood' draft.
But Dey does shoot himself in the foot. We know the ‘Littlewood' draft is not official. But the official English text is a ‘royal style' composite version cobbled together by Freeman.
The historical facts are:
1. • Maori asked Wikatoria (Queen Victoria) to protect them from being annihilated from waring, murderous invading tribes and potentially invading French or Portugeuses settlement.
2. • Governor Hobson was sent to bring agreement between Maori and the Crown.
3. • Hobson after much note taking created the true ‘English draft' now known (and authenticated) as the ‘Littlewood' draft, signed by him on 4th Feb 1840.
4. • That draft was given to Rev Williams and his son to translate into Maori.
5. • Rev Williams translation was named Te Tiriti o Waitangi and eventually signed by 545 Rangatira throughout the country.
6. • Fast forward to the 1960s/1970s when radical Maori became political activists resulting in Prime Minister Lange, legal mind Geoffrey Palmer and Robin Cooke at law created the ‘official' Treaty of Waitangi from the discredited Freemans ‘so called' English version.
7. • The consequential and intervening Acts and Institutionalized amnesia that followed has seen 50 years of young minds (some now middle aged adults) educated to an untruthful history of New Zealand.
