GREEDY GRABBERS
New Zealand is drifting towards two nations, with a newly-created tribal elite of unlimited greed calling the shots and everyone else increasingly becoming second-class citizen's in the land that was built by the sweat and toil of the pioneers. Please note the words tribal elite', as it is not Maori or part-Maori who are driving this separatist agenda but a very small and elite clique of agitators, most of whom have far more European blood in them than Maori.
The Treaty settlements have been enriching the tribal elite. And have these greedy grabbers of our tax dollars and our national resources ever said thank you? Instead, that all-time bludger, the Ngai Tahu tribe, upon getting an undeserved top-up of $68 million on top of their original Treaty settlement of $170 million, has challenged the amount, claiming that it should be more.
The two mainstream political parties seem to regard Maori not as human beings but as voting fodder, whose votes can be bought at election time by ever- increasing handouts to the tribal leaders who allegedly control the votes of their tribes. So long as we have governments that refuse to say no to these ever-more imaginative demands, the situation will only go from had to worse.
The llaw4aII Party is the only party that is prepared to work body and soul for the equal treatment of all citizens without special privileges, rights and funding for any particular racial group.

FAIRY TALES
Anahera Herbert-Graves (Northland Age March 1) is an inventor of fairytales. Goodness knows what she thinks she means by" te rangatiratanga of Te Tiriti o Waitangi" and "ka wanatanga laws," but it is a fair bet that they are not meanings derived from the Treaty of Waitangi.
Despite all the talk, all that was actually agreed by the Treaty was that the chiefs ceded sovereignty and all Maori became fully-entitled British subjects.
If Moana Jackson has any other "deeply-held understanding about what was promised" it is high time for him to correct it. We do have very good grounds for thinking that the report which he part-authored is an 'unrealistic discourse'. It belongs in the wastepaper basket, along with the much-vaunted 1835 declaration of independence, and should be put there promptly.

END GAME
The agenda of those promoting a flag change to get rid of the Union Jack is to move New Zealand out of the 'Anglosphere' and recalibrate it as a 'Pacific nation.'
Cutting us adrift from the Westminster tradition of the rule of law, democratically-elected, limited government, secure private property rights, religious tolerance and pluralism, and individual rights and freedoms, is not something to be done lightly.
Changing the flag is simply priming the pump: the end game is a constitutional republic with the Treaty of Waitangi (or rather the Treaty of Wellington, aka the State-Owned Enterprises Act 1986, and its bogus 'principles' and 'partnership') written into its charter. Take a look at the Treaty of Waitangi 1840. The word s 'principies' and 'partnership' simply do no appear. Nor do the words of the chiefs on the lawn at Waitangi and elsewhere suggest that this was what they thought the Treaty meant or implied.
Changing the flag is thus the first step to the racist Maori Party's goal of constitutionally embedding a permanent, self-anointed part-Maori aristocracy (with ever-declining amounts of Maori blood) into the fabric of our nation. Voters should think very carefully about whether this is what they want.
