Full House In Ashburton!
Last night we had a great meeting in Ashburton!
We never know how many people will come so when they started to pour in I was so thrilled for the small team in Ashburton who had done all the hard yards to get the people there.
Truly, the team in Ashburton have been amazing.
So, thank you to all the Ashburton people who came out on a cold night, and thank you especially to the team who got their rewards for their hard work and dedication.
Lindsay Watson, the Book Delivery Leader In Ashburton
Below is a photo of Lindsay Watson, who led a team of people into a great victory last night.
The security team, local farmers, deserve a big shout out last night.
They worked all evening with protesters so that those inside could hear Julian, uninterrupted.
Really, they are heroes too. Big time!
Always, always, always, when great gains are made there is always a good leader leading, and there are always loyal and faithful people in support.
We saw this in Ashburton. Wow!
The crucial factor in explaining stop governance is simplicity.
Therefore my take:
1. The Treaty was signed by Maori chiefs and the Crown,
2. Local Government has nothing to do with the treaty as such.
3. Local Government is just that …. all local people coming together including Maori.
4. Local Government is subject to rules and directions from the Crown which include requirements to consult with any group.
5. However the Crown cannot muscle in on any legal democratic entity and force a governance change.
