• Thoughts on co-governance...

    From John Bowes@21:1/5 to All on Sun Feb 26 16:39:11 2023
    Now don't get ya tits in a tangle folk. Just a few thoughts on co-governance. Surely if we are going to have true co-governance we shouldn't be stopping at just Maori and Pakeha. After all we also have significant numbers of Chinese and Indian citizens
    not to forget Pacific Islanders as well as other asians. Shouldn't they all be represented in co-governance?

    It would logically - but this is a Treaty of Waitangi rights issue so
    nothing involving other races is considered.

    All other races are included in the non-Maori side of the Treaty, but
    are accurately represented in parliament, which is where sovereignity
    rests - it includes all New Zealanders. They therefore are represented
    in co-governance arrangements to the same extent that each of us are.
    That is correct.
    Maori (17% of the population) get 50% of the vote.
    The rest of us (83% of the population also get 50%.
    I ask you, what could be more fair?
    Not 1 vote one elligible voter of course, no that would be so unfair in your personal utopia.

    However they're both different Rich! One is a new treaty created by some dumb bastard that was tasked with translating the english version! Instead the wanker wrote a brand new treaty that bears bugger all resemblance to the original version and no lies

    There are no co-governance arrangements that National have put together - your tedious lies about that are well proven.
    Votes are very simple. Even you are entitled to cast them from time to time.

    Apart from your unwarranted abuse, I do not deny that a tranlation was
    made that you may wish had been written in some other way. Those Maori
    chiefs that signed did so on the basis of the Maori version - thtat is
    the version that takes precedence. The two are not that different
    usually, but they can be in special circumstances. You do not need to
    like it, or agree with it, but the law is the law . . .

    Wouldn't that depend on which version of the Treaty you decide to use? ;)
    No.
    However they're both different Rich! One is a new treaty created by some dumb bastard that was tasked with translating the english version! Instead the wanker wrote a brand new treaty that bears bugger all resemblance to the original version and no
    lies you tell will ever change those FACTS!!!
    Apart from your unwarranted abuse, I do not deny that a tranlation was
    made that you may wish had been written in some other way. Those Maori chiefs that signed did so on the basis of the Maori version - thtat is
    the version that takes precedence. The two are not that different
    usually, but they can be in special circumstances. You do not need to
    like it, or agree with it, but the law is the law . . .
    It is NOT a translation Rich! It's a totally new treaty! What abuse are you lying about now Rich? Plus I'm still waiting for you to prove your claim the Maori Treaty is accepted by international law as well as NZ law!

    You cannot cite John Key saying any such thing, and I have cited a

    opposition to Labours water reforms legislation in a recent post,
    saying that the co-management elements of Treaty settlements are
    wrongly referred to as 'co-governance' in light of the provisions for co-governance in the water reforms legislation.

    Rich you are wrong to continue with your lies in the ace of what
    Findlayson says. It is already too late to salvage any rationality in
    your lies.

    We are talking about co-governance. Consensus is a European concept
    never practiced by Maori, and should not be confused with consent.

    Maori pushed for the Treaty Gordon. In fact John Heke who famously chopped down the flagpole several times was a strong advocate for it...

    Indeed - it was an Act of Parliament that gave the Treaty some teeth,
    and the ability for court cases to be taken arising from breaches to
    the Treaty - and that was quite some time after 1854!
