Waitangi day is becoming less and less relevant to the majority of Kiwis, as it has become weaponised against us, as has our MSM, Judiciary, and many Govt departments. As a retired Veteran who deployed to a few failed states where tribalism had run rife, I can strongly recommend to any and all our politicians to go and live for a year in any of those failed states.to get a feel for what we are staring down the barrel of. Only then will I place any value in your thoughts or opinions.

The Real Treaty needs to be put all over the Country for people to read the Truth about the Treaty👍

[@geofflewis8599]

Yeah, but Maori nationalists say there is another treaty in Maori which means something else - this is nonsense but it's what they tell their ignorant fellows..

[@Moanarose88]

Damn right. There was 9 copies 8 in Maori and 1 in English. The English version was a draft copy, the problem is only 30 chiefs signed that one and barely could read English at the time. Where over 500 Maori chiefs signed the tiriti one. Now the English states ‘ the queen has full sovereignty over all New Zealanders’ where tiriti version states the queen has full sovereign over its own people and Maori have full sovereign over theirs and there maunga, awa, forest, sea etc. it seems that after the tiriti was signed that version was shafted and the British went with English version. Even Thoe it stated the Maori have same rights as pakeha counter parts which was breeched, and basically everything else. I really hope you read the tiriti version and understand history better and actually read and listen instead of listening to Mr Seemore’s same old song.

[@juliusschwencke142]

​@Moanarose88 ..it's not a numbers thing. The level of literacy required to read English is an imperative, to say that an inferior translation is therefore legitimate is laughable.

[@geofflewis8599]

@@Moanarose88 Golly, what a delusional mess. There are several things you might not be aware of. Firstly, the treaty itself - the original document - is not part of NZ law and never has been. Secondly, it is not a relationship between Maori and other New Zealanders, it was created as an 'agreement between the hapu leaders that signed it, and the Crown. Thirdly, understand that 'Tino Rangatiratanga' was a self-evident reality in 1840 - that's why the treaty was signed with 512 rangatira and not one sovereign authority. However, after nearly two centuries of inter-tribal ethnic and cultural mixing TR - as it was in 1840 - is a practical nonsense. So, dream-on Mona.

New Zealand desperately needs a proper national day for New Zealanders. I suggest October 9 - which could double as a spring festival. Oct 9 is the day Cptn Cook landed at Gisborne in 1769.

Why has it become popular for European kiwi's, including Luxton, to say Maori and NON-maori... What cant people just say European ffs

[@logicalanswer3529]

It is due to the fact that certain Māori do not want to be referred to as New Zealanders. I wouldn't call some racist separatist a New Zealander.

[@StGammon77]

Pakeha is the lawful and legal title, if we disband it we will have no say in the future, Pakeha are the 3rd partner in the Treaty we are being shunned it's not right

Talk about the persecution of Pakeha Sean, interview us for a change, there's a lot of info that you are NOT covering. Here are the 5 major principles that were set down in the Kohimarama Conference records that should be in the education system. At this Conference of 1860 150 Native Chiefs said the Treaty was made null and void because it had been breached by the rebel tribes, they said let this be the new Treaty and they proceeded to confirm the 3 articles and add principles. 1. The Maori were not to start political partys or movements, that the Pakeha are the Governors but be involved with local Councils. That's a breach that needs to be sorted. 2. The new Tikanga is Christianity, this was taught in schools for 160 years until the WT removed it and have replaced it with their voodoo and all manner of devil-inspired ideologies have entered in including gays anti=Christ agendas they are fueling. That's a breach that needs to be sorted to bring Bible back into schools you cannot shut up the Kingdom of Heaven to children! 3. The Maori are to maintain friendship with Pakeha and not attack or get on their wrong side as they are the parenting race and teachers of the new ways. 4. The 2 languages are NOT to be mixed as this causes problems of communication, all commerce must be in English and the children taught English as the main language. That's been breached and needs to be sorted as the mixing of the 2 has caused incredible strife we can't understand it and it and definitions have been skewed we can't have rebels interpreting everything or getting their tikanga into law that the Chiefs expressed it to be abandoned! 5. The Kingite rebellion were condemned and warned of land confiscations, all rebellion against the Crown Sovereignty and Pakeha institutions is unlawful. That's been breached and needs to be sorted because the land was not stolen and they got a court anyway its so wrong and has cause untold strife as we are experiencing now. Essentially this has come about because the other partner to the Treaty if any is the Pakeha Council, we shou ld have been represented at every Tribunal hearing that was given to the Maori Kingis, very huge mistake! Get me on your show so I can present these facts for people to hear we have no platform as Pakeha race and the Govt is not representing us, where's our Minister for Pakeha Crown relations? Where's our TV and radio. It seems the MSM is on the side of rebels so our media has also been usurped, all our Colonial institutions have been infiltrated with Kingites, the ones who committed the holocaust of tribes and Pakeha. We need to know the facts we have all been brainwashed for 50 years of their lying fabricated twisted Treaty Workshops and this has been taken back to the workplaces for 4 decades now we must undo it.

..How we got to this stage.. 1, The Maori seats in Parliament became obsolete in 1879 and should have been abolished generations ago. But haven't been due to political expediency and the outright cowardice of our political leaders, they have continued. 2, While the Maori Seats aligned with the Labour Party, it didn't matter too much because Labour was a left-centre party. 3, The big change came in the '23 elections where six of the seven Maori Seats were captured by the racist-nationalist TPM on 3.08 percent of the vote - which under the MMP proportionality rules that apply to all other parties, should have left them out of Parliament entirely.

No, "all the argy-bargy, agro," is NOT what is "normal". It is disgusting. It is insulting to ALL New Zealanders. It is a demonstration of verbal violence, physically aided. If any of the behaviour that goes on at Waitangi against every person not claiming Maori ancestry, was actually dones to people claiming Maorie ancestry, there would be screams and screams of racisim, and everyone would agree how appallingly bad this behaviour is. Why is it ok, "normalised" because Maori do it. I am sorry, but this leaves the rest of who live in New Zealand, cold, distant, and sick and tired of this petulant, rude, quite frankly, nasty nasty behaviour that we all supposed to suck it up and not be insulted and offended. We ARE!.
