@shezza2191 If by 'we' you mean 'maori' then presumably you would not extend rights to European settlers? By extension, I assume you would also discard European medicine, science, and education? Or would you simply choose to retain the benefits of western culture, whilst bleating incessantly about it?

@shezza2191 Why, then, are you writing in English? Is there a Maori word for 'hypocrisy?' The origin of the word is Greek, by the way, via ecclesiastical Latin. hupokrisis. Literally, ‘acting of a theatrical part’, as you, of course, are doing now.

Perhaps only people with Maori ancestry will be permitted to vote?

@shezza2191 Precisely. Thank you for making my point for me, even if I rather led you into it. By writing in English, you are able to communicate with a large per centage of the world's population. Had you had the courage of your supposed convictions, you would have been restricted to a few thousand in one part of the planet. Of course it is your opinion. You have my deepest sympathy.

@shezza2191 'like you said normally.' My reply wasn't to you. You are already confused enough without making things even worse.

One assumes that all people living there who cannot prove Maori ancestry will be given a reasonable amount of time in which to leave?

As Maori invaders eradicated the people they encountered when they landed, are the effects of Maori colonialism being addressed as well?
