Potaka, the Waitangi Tribunal, the Coup, and The National Party's Loss Of Control (part 8)
As I have said, we must get behind Winston, Jones, Seymour, emailing them regularly with encouragement and our full support to expunge co-governance and Maorification from New Zealand.
Leaders need encouragement constantly.
Email Luxon urging him to do what the people of New Zealand elected him to do, which was to rid the country of Maorification and co-governance.
Warn him that he will be a one term PM if he doesn’t.
Here are their email addresses:
Shane.Jones@parliament.govt.nz
Winston.Peters@parliament.govt.nz
David.Seymour@parliament.govt.nz
Christopher.luxon@parliament.govt.nz

Re: Submission on Māori Wards.
When the Treaty of Waitangi was signed in 1840, Māori were a distinct race of people, who had lived in New Zealand since about 1350.
After the Treaty of Waitangi was signed in 1840, Māori began to intermarry of their own free will with other races and for legal reasons, the government had to pass, The Native Lands Act of 1865 defined a Māori as, “An Aboriginal Native and shall include all half‑castes and their descendants by Natives”.
Since this time, there have been many Acts passed as Māori ancestry became further and further diluted until today, their Māori ancestry has become so diluted, it is impossible for Government to define, “Who is legally a Māori today”, although for, “Personal reason”, Māori have every right call themselves Māori if they can claim a minute trace of Māori ancestry.
It’s ridiculous when a New Zealand Citizen who can claim a minute trace of Māori ancestry can have special rights and privilege over their fellow New Zealand Citizen. Māori today, live, work and play exactly the same as any other New Zealander, as can be seen by the number of Māori in our Parliament, New Zealand’s top jobs and leaders on the sports field. They can achieve just like any other New Zealand Citizen.
Article 3 of the Treaty of Waitangi stated, “Māori would be given the same rights as the people of England”, and over 500 of their chiefs agreed to this on behalf their people in 1840. This was ratified by Queen Victoria’s Royal Charter/Letters Patent dated 16 November 1840 which made New Zealand into a British Colony under one flag and one law, irrespective of race colour or creed.
For Councils to give Māori special rights and privileges through “Māori Wards”, dishonours the Treaty of Waitangi and the chiefs who signed it as well as all the other New Zealand Citizens who cannot claim a minute trace of Māori ancestry.
Remember, Lt. Governor Hobson’s “One Treaty Principle” when he shook each chief’s hand after they had signed the Treaty of Waitangi at Waitangi on 6 February 1840. “He iwi tahi tatou – We are now one people” – One person – One Vote!
Equal Representation: The idea behind “one person, one vote” is that each eligible voter’s voice should carry equal weight in the democratic process. Regardless of social status, wealth, or any other factor, every individual has the right to cast their vote, and each vote should be counted equally.
As far as I know there were no Maori when Whitey arrived. There were various Iwi andthey didn’t even have a common language and certainly had different liniages.
Growing up one could basically tell where someone with obviouse Maori heritage came from.
No way all the Iwi came from Taiwan via Haviki either otherwise how did Pukeko for one get here? Umu,Kumara?
BTW I sat at kitchen tables in 1986 when Te Reo was invented. It is a language made up of a uphodge podge of different languages and dialects. It was developed as a teaching aid for young children and to encourage those with Maori heritage to learn about their personal history and their Iwi and to encourage all youngsters to enjoy learning new languages.
