" PLEASE SIGN THIS PETITION THE GRAVY HAS JUST GOT TO STOP " LOOK AFTER YOUR FUTURE GRANDCHILDREN A BIG THANKYOU BILL H.

 : An article by Muriel Newman

 

 

 


 

Please read the below email and if you agree please sign the petition.

We need to get off our asses and do something, that’s how they got so far, by getting off their asses.  The link below will take you to the constitutional review website.

________________

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 New Zealand of its public resources, then it is time to take a stand.

With the Government's constitutional review asking for public feedback on the Maori roll, Maori seats, and the future of the Waitangi Tribunal and Treaty within our constitutional arrangements, the opportunity is now here to usher in a new era of democracy for New Zealand based on equality under the law. In a bid to provide a vehicle for change, last week the New Zealand Centre for Political Research launched a Declaration of Equality and an on-line petition. The Declaration aims to restore equality under the law by removing any reference to the Treaty or its principles in legislation or in any constitutional document, and by abolishing the Maori seats and the Waitangi Tribunal.

If you share our concerns about the present direction of New Zealand, we are asking you to help us create a movement for change, by signing the petition and calling on others to do the same. Our initial target is 20,000 signatures, but we hope to build to 50,000, 100,000 and more. We will deliver the petition to Government Ministers in September next year to coincide with the report back of the Maori Party's Constitutional Advisory Panel. We will be asking Government Members of the House of Representatives to show true leadership in representing the views of the majority of New Zealanders, by implementing the Declaration of Equality. If you believe New Zealand’s course must be changed to stop the separatists entrenching their hold over our country, then please sign the petition here>>>.
