WHERE’S THE EVIDENCE?
Can Mike Shaw (No need for tension, letters June 4) provide any tangible irrefutable written proof, other than Ngati Kuri say so, that the public road leading to the Cape Reinga lighthouse at the northern tip of New Zealand was put through land without the appropriate consent? The onus of proof is on those alleging this and it’s my understanding the road is actually State Highway One. It looks like there are no dwellings/houses in the deserted area anyway between Te Werahi Gate and Cape Reinga a distance of about 5km, so any traffic on this stretch under lockdown should have been police responsibility.
Probably the land for this public road was purchased or acquired under the Public Works Act for which compensation is normally paid? Regardless of all this and despite Mr.Shaw’s pro-tribal rhetoric as it is still currently a public road it is illegal to block or prevent people travelling on it under Sections 21 and 22 Summary Offences Act.
One must be very careful in supporting/promoting tribal separatist agendas because those espousing these are very creative and plausible when justifying their disruptive actions or sovereignty agendas. Facts and truth seem to play no part in the delusions with the associated spiritual /cultural mumbo jumbo sucking in many ‘learned’ fools and ample evidence of this provided by our PC politicians, local government councillors and the gullible leftist media.
Further, Te Papa was closed by Covid-19 legislation and not some race based tribal vigilante group, and drawing a comparison between illegally blocking a public highway and statutory legislation closing Te Papa museum to the public is an absolute nonsense.
