Bassett nails it - the PM did meet with the king and he sent three to the hui
- despite Rich's and others lies.
The hui was never an attempt to debate or engage with normal New Zealanders. It
was greed and political horseplay.
Recently Tony claimed that he did not read blogs with political views
- this post just proves that he is a liar.
For a bit of balance, here is a slightly different bias: >https://nickrockel.substack.com/p/100-pure-luxon
Rich you quote an article hell-bent on challenging Luxon's leadership capability with a passing mention of the Treaty principles legislation
(no acknowledgement of Luxon meeting the Maori King last week) but a
primary focus on Luxon's leadership style. That does not in any way
balance out a website posting on the political fallout from the
planned (but not introduced) Treaty Principles legislation (to set up
a binding referendum). The two are not articles on the same subject
from a different point-of-view.
Your other mistake is that you don't understand the difference between
a blog and a politically-motivated website. Blogs are usually
controlled by a single author posting at least daily - most notably is
the Kiwiblog blog hosted by DPF. The Basset/Brash/Hide website is not
a blog because it features articles written by multiple authors who
publish from without schedule.
The fact is that some Maori are not happy that an attempt is being
made to bring the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi into a modern
context, to be debated through the Select Committee process and that a
future Parliament might pass the Bill that results in a binding
referendum. Some see that the whole process (every part of it) will
see said principles established and voted on by the 'tyranny of the
majority'.
