I believe that NZ should introduce "World First" legislation which states the no person or group may be allowed to have any special rights based on their race.
Actually. I think. I may have read something about that in the Treaty of Waitangi.

And while viewing check out Michael Laws on education.

Good to hear Shane explain to us precisely why "iwi" is mentioned so many times in the draft bill. The cat's cradle of insidious 'consultation requirements' favouring one vested interest group (wonder which one?) that was foisted upon us by successive prats in high places, such as Chris Finlayson, is absolutely appalling and IMHO unforgivable. It is hard to fathom whether the consequences were intended or unintended but they have nonetheless driven a stake into the heart of New Zealand. Unravelling the damage is a mammoth task - Shane is clearly onto this but one can only hope that he and others so switched on can collectively deal to it.

It just underscores how crucially important it is that we have that Treaty Principles discussion and, hopefully, a referendum. It's way past time that all New Zealanders were consulted.

To Peter

Referendum: not " hopefully" - this is absolutely essential ASAP.

The last chance to - possibly - halt the advance of He Puapua. Not certain.

Every effort will be made to stop this - from National.

The people must insist this time
