• The Treaty Priniples Bill - have the protestors read it?

    From Crash@21:1/5 to All on Tue Nov 19 20:11:50 2024
    Serious question.

    No opponent of this bill has quoted wording from the Bill to support
    the reasons why they oppose it.

    Which bit seeks to 'rewrite the Treaty' (as if that was possible)?

    Which bit disadvantages Maori? Well I can think of some instances but
    this involves removal of privileges the rest of us don't have.

    Lastly this Bill will not become law. There was no need at all for
    any protest. The fact that protest occurred indicates to me that
    there are a huge number of ignorant and gullible people out there who
    could afford to take time off for pointless protest, or that there is
    a small number of people who will use any excuse to promote anarchy (unsuccessfully).

    Lastly - this is not the first Treaty Principles Bill rodeo (apologies
    if needed to Winston Peters). NZF put forward a similar Bill in
    2005-2006 (Google 'Principles of the Treaty of Waitangi Deletion Bill
    2006') which everyone ignored then as they should have now.

    Absolutely nobody has said or written that.

    Agreed.

    Yes there is, I believe. There were palestiine flags in the march, there were signs concerning gender matters. I watched television closely and those things did not show up when I was watching but those things were there because I saw them in person. That does not mean I agree or disagree with those other issues but yes, it was just an excuse.

    Lastly - this is not the first Treaty Principles Bill rodeo (apologies

    2005-2006 (Google 'Principles of the Treaty of Waitangi Deletion Bill

    Seymour has consistently argued that he wants the issue discussed and debated - I can only be suspicious of anybody who refuses to discuss an important matter but goes further by trying to prevent other people from haveng the discussion. That is happening, that is a major reason for the Hikoi.

    That is a given. The active Left do not give a reason, apart from all else
    are racists, etc.




    Which bit seeks to 'rewrite the Treaty' (as if that was possible)?

    The bit about saying that the principles in the Act will apply.

    Also the Government shall pass the laws and Govern, no partnership needed.

    It will remove the possibility of Maori sovereignty.

    I think the anarchy promoters are larger than a small number.

    That does not 'rewrite' the Treaty.

    Where is this granted in the Treaty?

    I think the anarchy promoters are larger than a small number.

    In a nation of 3 million (approx) voters, they are proportionately a
    small number, as are those who claim Maori heritage.

    For perspective, the Hikoi that arrived in Wellington consisted of less than 1 percent of NZ adults, but in fact included lots of children. So total support is tiny, but they have a loud voice. Shades of TPM.

    I would suspect not. Just another anti government and pro Maori
    protest to go on. The news media is really hyping this up. Time
    they were defunded.
