GUEST POST: Whanau Ora, and The Seabed and Foreshore Act review

A guest post by Tim Wikiriwhi
“NO MAN’S LIFE, LIBERTY or property are safe while the legislature is in session,” said Mark Twain. With all the political wheeling and dealing now going on between the unscrupulous politicians of the National and Maori Parties, this observation is more true now than ever.

Two very important legislative changes are about to be implemented as part of this political bargaining and bribery: the Maori Party’s Whanau Ora scheme, and the review of the Seabed and Foreshore act.

Now it may be true that the Seabed and Foreshore act is bad legislation and in need of repeal, yet it does not automatically follow that what the shysters of National and the Maori Party are proposing is a step towards greater justice. I see it as just another grab by covetous racists for money, property and power at the expense of New Zealanders as a whole.

THE SHYSTERS' PROPOSAL IS founded upon Political Machiavellianism, on sell-your-grandmother politics, and a corrupt and false interpretation of the Treaty of Waitangi—in particular, that the Treaty is a separatist document implying a “Partnership” rather than unity and equality.
Thus the first step in this process of extortion has been to rewrite the Treaty and history in such a way as to vindicate racist law, politics and power—and the naked wealth-grab now being effected.

Any attempt by individuals to call the government to account on this fundamental dishonesty is simply ignored. It is a bitter irony and a badge of stupidity that New Zealanders today swallow the line that imaginary racial injustices of the past can be rectified by blatant ones today!

If the media wanted to redeem itself it should set about to raise the truth about these documents so the New Zealanders may get a better view of what the real Treaty means.

That the Chiefs of New Zealand knew they were signing away their sovereignty is clear from the fact that Paramount Chief Te Hue Hue refused to sign it as well as Te Whero Whero . . . because it would make him subordinate to a woman, Queen Victoria.

It is worth noting that the proposal to grant Maori Customary Title to the seabed and foreshore violates the principle of equality under British common law guaranteed in the third article of the treaty, in that it robs them of their rights to sell their property, should they wish, to anyone other than the Queen; and in maintaining ownership of Maori land in  collective, rather than individual, hands.

The current proposal is an entrenchment of perpetual communist tribalism…a continued enslavement of individual Maori by their tribal lords.

I strongly suspect the racists of the Maori Party are happy to accept the legislation that gives iwi leaders so-called “customary” property rights now, knowing they can bag full rights over these massive assets at a latter date. That next step being rather simple after they had customary rights recognised. Have no doubt that this will be their next demand. In the process the rest of New Zealand will have been robbed of billions of dollars of assets and be forced to submit to gross extortions should they desire to get into aquaculture, tourism, or fishing as these assets will be locked up in perpetuity under the control of a Maori Browntable.

New Zealanders have been sold the lie and gullibly believe not only that the Treaty guaranteed Maori such property rights, but that prior to the Treaty Maori actually had such customary rights.

The truth, however, is that prior to the Treaty Maori were not a united people but existed in anarchy—recognising only the “right” of conquest, not customary rights or anything like them, and so war was king and property was only held by violence. Thus I say the whole business is corrupt, corrupt, corrupt!
It is robbing all New Zealanders via anti-historical and racist political deals.

AS FOR WHANAU ORA, it too is founded upon the false and separatist notion of “partnership” erroneously supposed to be part of the Treaty. How much will it cost? I have herd estimates as high as 1 billion dollars annually, a staggering figure that dwarfs the supposed 1 billon dollar cap that once existed on treaty settlements in total.

National are saying the funds will come from existing budgets, which if true shows that Whanau Ora is systematic racial segregation—presumably meaning that welfare funds currently available to everyone will be reduced without a drop in their tax burdens. So much for One Law For All! Maori will occupy more beds in hospitals, get more operations etc etc.—simply by virtue of being Maori—which cannot be other than bad for race relations in New Zealand, further entrenching Maori as the basket cases of the nation: surviving in an abyss of welfare dependency, harbouring a mindset that comes to despise their Non-Maori family, friends, and neighbours who are paying for them.

This result suits the scum of the Maori Party perfectly, who need a constituency reliant upon them to keep delivering the goods, and it suits Quislings like John Key who are all too willing to support that bargain to forge another one with the Maori Party that keeps himself in power!

I ask how it is that the people of New Zealand can be so gullible, so complacent in the face of such corruption in their Parliament???

THESE TWO PIECES OF legislation must be fought.
These two parties must be removed from power.

We must reform our Parliament and Laws by dumping the separatist seats and all race-based laws and institutions.

We need a new constitution of equality that makes these types of charlatan politics illegal.
