To me the Waitangi Tribunal has become a gravy train, a permanent grievance-based mechanism to squeeze money out of non-Maori.
It is time we put a stop to it. I signed the declaration in the link at the bottom as the time has come to disband this Tribunal.
The Waitangi Tribunal finding that Maori have property rights to water was predictable, but is nevertheless a reminder of how well organised the tribal elite have become.
They have their own political party, with political leverage through a coalition agreement with the government. They have the taxpayer-funded Maori Council, which is able to organise activists into substantive claimant bodies. And they have the taxpayer-funded Waitangi Tribunal, to re-write history and deliver quasi-legal deliberations in favour of tribal claimants.
If you think this claim for water is extraordinary, then consider it in the context of claims for the electromagnetic spectrum, many of our mountains, lakes and rivers, the foreshore and seabed, and claims for the country’s plants and animals. On this record, can we expect air to become a taonga too? Does it hold previously unimagined spiritual elements that require compensation? Perhaps those commercialising air will be a new target - a levy on air conditioners perhaps, on the grounds that they interfere with the air’s mana.
Of course I jest, but it was not so many years ago that we would have laughed at any hint of a tribal claim for the ownership of water!
It really is time that the public woke up and decided what sort of a country we want in the future. If we do nothing, the sovereignty movement will use the momentum it now has to deprive us all for their own personal gain.
That’s why it is becoming crucial that New Zealanders get organised and speak out about the rampant growth in official and legal racism. Are we prepared to tolerate greater tribal influence in our everyday affairs – like paying a royalty to the separatists every time we turn on our tap? Or have we already had enough?
If you believe that with this water claim, the tribal elite have gone too far in trying to rob
