Mr Modlik states that maori are currently in partnerships in aotearoa and all is going well so why change?What he didn't explain about the partnership was Meridian having to pay 180mill for consents and Auckland council paying millions for brown waikato river water going out to sea.

German derived arrogance a good fit with modern maori. As noted there are many responses which Seymour and supporters should have on instant tap. Sadly there is no book of as maori have produced for their malcontents. NZ is unlike many colonised countries in that european numbers quickly outnumbered locals. Presumably colonisation would have been acceptable if an army had landed and wrested entirely by force in accord with te ao. We then could all have advanced in unison.

Whoever thought trying to be civilized and getting an agreement with groups of illiterate, warring tribesmen, who previously had never seen a wheel, warm clothing or metal implements, would be a sound idea!! Only the English. In hindsight they should have tried the normal approach to colonisation that the Dutch, Spanish, French, Portugese, Germans and others used. Would have saved a lot of trouble.

This German man, cut from the same cloth as John tamahari along with all the other deluded fraudsters so obviously believed in his subjective take on historical inaccuracies, should have been silenced by David's calm delivery of truth. But no, he doubled down as they all do, and quite frankly proved himself a divisive, racist fool.
Stone age Maori participated in the creation of our democracy,
Spare me.
