waitangi pressure
“it is a great pity that the national party has failed to grasp the significance of such concepts as consultation with tangata whenua (indigenous people); te tiriti o waitangi (the treaty of waitangi); the maori electoral seats; and the widespread grief expressed by maori about labour’s confiscation of the foreshore and seabed” reflected dr sharples today.“the new leader of the national party made a public declaration that there was nothing to fear from tangata whenua” said dr sharples.
“and then at the first opportunity to show maori there is some substance to that declaration, their caucus retreats in alarm and panic”.
tomorrow is waitangi day.....
we're supposed to celebrate the treaty, some, but not all, will not honour the treaty.
