DEFACING RANGITOTO
Where are the howIs of protest over the proposed zip line to the top of Rangitoto?
Surety such a structure will take away from the natural beauty and cause destruction to natural features during its construction?
I hope all the people who created such a fuss over the walking track on Te Mata in Hawke's Bay will create a similar fuss about the possible defacing of Rangitoto.
JOCK MACVICAR, Hauraki.
If I claim Ngati Tipperary Iwi as my whakapapa. will the Government assist me to lay claim to an offshore Ireland?

LET MAORI AND PAKEHA JOIN TOGETHER TO CELEBRATE OUR NATIONAL DAY
WAITANGI Day celebrations will soon be disrupted once again by the circus of the dysfunctional and disaffected.
It should be a joyous day, celebrating an amazingly enlightened treaty for its time with its citizen equality and property rights.
Its commitment to law and order saw the end of tribal warfare and the development of a peaceful and pleasant democracy.
I cannot understand the foolishness of those determined to ruin the day.
They reinterpret history, and promote lies, resentment, feudalism and separatism.
Celebrating culture is to be encouraged, but instilling apartheid ideology is destructive and dangerous. The only winners are the greedy and selfish tribal mafia.
We just have to look around our homes, sports and workplaces to see that most of us are definitely united as New Zealanders.
We cannot take the Maori out of the Pakeha, no more than we can take the Pakeha out of the Maori. We are one despite the usual familial quirks.
A national day reset is the solution. Let’s celebrate ‘‘New Zealand Day’’, which is what most are already doing informally on February 6 anyway.
Away from the political limelight, we are just Kiwis wanting to share good times with friends, family and our communities.
