Well he is right and that is why we have to change our language to mirror that of Te Tiriti o Waitangi and not that of the Draft. This is how they play us?
Remember, there was only one treaty signed on the 6th February 1840 and that was in the Tangata Maori language, and referred to as Te Tiriti o Waitangi.
We have to refer to the “Official Government Back Translation” of 1869 by Mr T E Young of Native Affairs for what was actually written down in Te Tiriti o Waitangi.
1. What the Tangata Maori chief’s were asked to do and they agreed to was, “to give up entirely to the Queen of England forever all the Governments of their lands”.
Not to “cede sovereignty” as they would not have had words or an understanding of that, but to give up entirely all the Governments of their lands – (read individual tribal lands held at the time of signing)
2. The Queen of England arranges and agrees to give to the chiefs, the hapus and All the people of New Zealand, the full chieftainship of their lands, their settlements and their property.
No more, no less!
3.The Queen of England will protect all the Maoris of New Zealand, and all the rights will be given to them the same as her doings to the people of England.
One law for all, no more no less! We are now one people.
So what I want to know, is why don’t our politicians know about the 1869 Official Government Back Translation of Te Tiriti o Waitangi?
If they did, then we wouldn’t be having to deal with this blatant racist tribalist coup attempt, based on lies, fraud and deceit.
David Seymour the rights saviour, has just stated that the Waitangi Tribunal Recommendations proves the need for a clearer definition of the “Treaty Principles”???
So David has gone to the “WOKE” side.
Be gone David.

The Declaration of Independence was a document drafted by James Busby, the British Resident in 1835 to try and unite the chiefs to assemble annually to make laws for the promotion of peace, justice, trade and to stop the fighting, cannibalism and genocide amongst the tangata maori tribes.
He could only persuade 34 Northern chiefs to sign before it was abandoned within 12 months by the signatories taking up arms against each other and without one meeting-taking place.
Busby did manage to get 52 chiefs to sign by 1839, but by then it was to late, and Britian had to take a more active role if the tangata maori race were to survive. Ref – ONZF
Don’t believe Rawiri Waititi’s version of anything!
In 1839 Britain reluctantly decided to claim sovereignty over NZ under the Law of Nations, and on the 30th July 1839 issued a Royal Charter/Letters Patent extending the laws and boundaries of New South Wales to include all the Islands of NZ, some six months before the TOW was written.
Britain could not have done this if Tangata Maori had sovereignty over New Zealand.
After the 512 Tangata Maori chiefs had agreed to and signed Te Tiriti o Waitangi, Hobson claimed sovereignty over the North Island by “Treaty” and the the South Island by “Discovery” (Law of Nations) on the 2nd October 1840.
Chief Justice Prendergast ruled in 1877 that the Treaty of Waitangi was a ‘simple nullity’ by stating, “So far indeed as that instrument (TOW) purported to cede the sovereignty it must be regarded as a ‘simple nullity’. No political body existed capable of making cession of sovereignty”.
Chief Justice Prendergast’s legal opinion nullified the proposition that NZ was a ‘sovereign and independent state’ prior to the Crown’s acquisition of sovereignty. His ruling still stands to this day.
So what I want to know is why our politicians with all our history at their disposal, not know about our 1839 Royal Charter/Law of Nations and Chief Justice Prendergast’s ruling?
Or do they?

We now no longer have to refer to the Official Government Back Translation” of 1869 by Mr T E Young. Ned Fletcher has just written an authoritative treatise called The English Text of the Treaty of Waitangi, and it’s a must-read for anyone seriously interested in the English version.
https://www.bwb.co.nz/books/the-english-text-of-the-treaty-of-waitangi/
Where has Dr Ned Fletcher been for the last 32 years, Hobson final English draft was found in 1989 and Archive New Zealand has a copy of it. Pity he had not spend time researching Queen Victoria’s Royal Charters, but seems he missed these as well!
This Fletcher seems to be anther grifter muddying the situation for financial gain.
Why did our politicians allow the Apartheid Treaty of Waitangi act to be set up when they had at their disposal the 1869 “Government Official” back translation of Tiriti o Waitangi to refer to for meaning and intent?
Also at their disposal were rulings from Chief Justice Prendergast (1877) and the Law Lords (1941) on the TOW, i.e. simple nullity and not legally binding?
Also at their disposal were our very official and of great importance to New Zealand, the 1839 and 1840 Royal Charters, issued from the Queen of England, our Founding Documents and First Constitution?
Why are our politicians not working in the interests of ALL New Zealanders when our true history is at their finger tips?
So, who broke the Treaty?
Fletcher’s book is not authentic. The Littlewood Treaty is the only valid translation of te tiriti in Maori which almost all of the chiefs signed.
How could Maori sign over sovereignty when they did not have it to sign over as explained in the ruling by Chief Justice, Sir James Prendergast in 1877?
If the tangata Maori had sovereignty over New Zealand, then Britain could not have place New Zealand under the dependency of New South Wales on the 30 July 1839 with the Proclamation being read by Lt. Governor Hobson on the 30 January 1840, one week before a signature appeared o the Treaty of Waitangi.
There are lies, damned lies and nec level proclamations from Te Pāti Māori.
None of this would be an issue if it wasn’t for those purportedly representing the Crown engaging in bizarre complicity in visiting treason upon itself.
Now that Waitangi day is over and Maori have celebrated becoming British Subjects with the same rights as the people of England/New Zealand, we can now all get ready to celerate 3 May when New Zealand became a British Colony under one flag and one law, irrespective of race colour and creed.

I believe that the Stop Co Governance movement needs an objective substantiating theme for integrity. For example, the phrase ‘stop Co Governance’ does not appear to be qualified with a purpose.
Given the above, one can objectively summarise the Treaty of Waitangi as, ‘A binding agreement for co-operative co-existence between the Queen of England and the collective New Zealand Maori tribes.’
The objective of Stop Go Governance could therefore be, ‘
To prevent the harmonious co-existence currently enjoyed in New Zealand from being destroyed by the disenchanted few that would likely enable them to personally profit in many forms to the detriment of all’.
The objective being aligned at all times to, ‘co-operative co-existence’.
The purpose is to SAVE DEMOCRACY
I must add to my previous comment that, ‘co-operative co-existence’ is particularly exemplified by the number of past and present Members of Parliament of Maori and part-Maori descent.
