  1. Good on you David. Stay with it. A lot of New Zealanders support your effort

  2. I would never never ever vote for the Greens. I want democracy not a pressure group.
    19
  3. Thank you for the insight you have. Absolutely Yes. This last "collation" of Labour, Greens and te Pati have taken this country down a divisive and destructive road

  4. The idea is to stop Maori continuing to evolve and re interpret the Treaty. The Treaty per sey doesn't need changing its actually clear
    12
  5. Just Goggle it. He was a "prophet" of the Maori iwi. He got some representatives into the NZ parliament early last century. Interesting read.

  6. Government needs to stand back from this. The people of New Zealand want change. With the new government we should get it. Maori "wants" are getting too much!!
    10
  7. Suggest you stay out of NZ politics. You don't understand the aspirations of Maori. They want full control of government

  8. A truck driver. Cant even speak te reo I believe

  9. Davids trying, Give him support!!

  10. The trouble is. The so called Indigenous people of Australia will want more and more and more and more and more...!! and the concern is. Just like the New Zealand Maori. The feeling of the average New Zealander is that it is "too much" now!! So Auzzie watch out!!

  11. May God "defend" New Zealand!! With the last election results I think HE has!!

  12. We do know about Māoritanga. But in this last election New Zealanders have moved right.Why because we do not want any more of this ":culture". We are ambivalent about it all. Don't think that everybody wants to embrace Maori culture and practices. Maori-ism is not New Zealand's culture. Never will be.

  13. Yes they can and are doing so. The treaty says Maori ceded and all government to the the crown, Read the Treaty!!
    4
  14. I don't think so. Maori actually have a special place within NZ society. Its just all this debacle needs to end
    4
  15. Back on track is to reign in the Maori activists. Legislate the "agreed" principles of the treaty with Pakeha (crown) What is anti Maori about these proposed Principles!! * The New Zealand Government has the right to govern all New Zealanders * The New Zealand Government will honour all New Zealanders in the chieftainship of their land and all their property * All New Zealanders are equal under the law with the same rights and duties The above seems very reasonable given that the Treaty says we are one nation
    4
  16. Well we will not be controlled. We are waking up to these activists
    4
  17. Good insight. We are all New Zealanders first
    3
  18. NO. You are making this up. Get over your bigotry
    3
  19. Screw the Greens
    3
  20. Can the public actually believe all this. Labour "must" be going thru the floor. The "only "way to save New Zealand from being a third world country is to go Right!!

  21.  @RogueEagle  No Maori agenda
    3
  22. Yes and Yes!!
    3
  23. That's what they did. Ceded sovereignty!!
    3
  24. Never happen. We have a Treaty and Maori have twisted it!!
    3
  25. And so they should. Not good for everybody else who is honest!! The growth of this will be not good for society
    3
  26. Good insight. Convince others then. Otherwise we are headed for gross division!!

  27. Why should the UN fund Hamas??
    2
  28. How this. From the leaked document. They sound good and equitable eh. *The New Zealand Government has the right to govern all New Zealanders *The New Zealand Government will honour all New Zealanders in the chieftainship (control and protection) of their land and all their property *All New Zealanders are equal under the law with the same rights and duties @chriswhata

  29. He wants Maori to come into the 21st century!!
    2
  30. Yep. They are corrupt. NZ should withdraw completely from the UN. Aid money and resources are being used by Terrorist groups
    2
  31. Doesn't use the word kingitanga!! and the 1840 superseded it
    2
  32. Hope is honest about it. He has NZers to back him eh
    2
  33. They are talking of 200 involved. Tip of the iceberg. Look. The UN is corrupt!!
    2
  34. Its Maori that is divisive. Twisted the meaning of the Treaty over 30 years. Needs tpo be discussed by all of us
    2
  35. Well, a big step in the right direction.
    2
  36. Well he knows Ardern abandoned him
    2
  37. Anything is better than Labour, Greens and te pati. Anything!!
    2
  38. Tell that to the hapu that was raided because of utu. Maori history of violence to their neighbors
    2
  39. We need to support them!!
    2
  40. However .Maori are!!
    2
  41. What about the Maori getting rich and power!!. Think about it
    2
  42. No. Don't make up silly statements
    2
  43. Your Hone wanted the activity and commerce to stay in the Bay of Island. It was good financially for him. The government moved to AK. So he cut down the flag pole. Don't repeat history
    2
  44. Then they need to speak out!! We are heading into a wind of separatism
    2
  45. No Read the He Puapua road map. Your not up with it

  46. Not a good trend. Privacy is being eroded for honest people. Here comes China and big brother!!
    1
  47. Yes!! Time this was curtailed too
    1
  48. The Government really needs to push "that" point!!
    1
  49. When will you get it. No changes to the actual Treaty. But we need clarification to these continuing evolving Principles from 30 years ago!! That was the start of our current problems

  50. If you mean Maori managing their own "affairs"? Then NO!! @louiskatipa9620
