APARTHEID IN ALL ITS DISGUSTING FORMS
R M writes > The Original Treaty, before it was re-translated and "massaged" said that "We are ONE" - SAME rights, Same responsibilities, Same everything - The maori were NOT specified as a separate entity.
The successive governments have slowly but surely passed on right after right, privilege after privilege, special treatment after special treatment - - creating apartheid in all its disgusting forms just to suck up to 15% of the votes.
There are literally thousands of pieces of legislation, Council by-laws, Dept of Education special provisions, etc, etc - all giving the maori absolute power over us. Even if we were, by some miracle, able to elect a third party with enough voting clout in Parliament to set in motion a change eliminating ALL legislation etc that gave powers based on race, it would take decades to reverse them all. Every change would be fought in the High Court, with the maori being represented by the best QCs paid for by our taxes (they have that right by legislation !!).
If the government cave in (as usual - the easy way out without upsetting the maori) and give them the ultimate power over our water, then I would advise all those young enough to emigrate to do so and find a country not so deeply entrenched in apartheid - and getting worse.
