MADE TO ORDER
Since the apartheid Waitangi tribunal was set up through an Act of Parliament in 1975, governments have appeased Maori at the expense of our social and economic wellbeing. Especially after the treaty of Waitangi was exchanged for the five ‘made to order principles’ in 1985 and the Waitangi Tribunal took control.
With unlimited funding from government, a conspiracy was created to selectively research and re-settle the many and varied Maori claims, which in many cases had already had “full and final” settlements many times before.
Today’s Maori are not the people who signed the Treaty. They are New Zealanders, who in most cases can only claim some minute trace of Maori ancestry, the majority of their ancestry now belonging to European, the same people they claim created the injustices they have been claiming against and winning for hundreds of years.

ON IHUMATAO
Do any of the hundreds from around the country milling around at Ihumatao have job responsibilities in the real world?
LINDA LANG, Henderson.
Would it be possible to persuade Chris Finlayson and Sir Doug Graham, who have shown to successfully care for Maori interests, to “step into the breach” and bring the Ihumatao situation to a satisfactory close?
JIM RADICH, Hillsborough.
Fletchers had already offered to sell the land but nobody wanted to buy, not even the young lady organising the protest.
