• Kelvin Davis telling porkies again!

    From John Bowes@21:1/5 to All on Thu Sep 28 16:46:56 2023
    Why are the racist and feral imbeciles in Labours Maori caucus keep pushing this bullshit?! Have they been getting instruction from Rich80105?
    The only thing the treaty promised was all residents of New Zealand be treated the same under English law! Why do they persist in pushing for an apartheid country all the time and deny the true treaty?!

    The claims Davis made are purely political and not based on any
    semblance of fact. What is at stake is only the undemocratic
    governance provisions in the water reforms legislation Labour has
    enacted but never mentioned prior to the last election. Nothing more,
    nothing less.

    All the cumulative actions of the previous 180 years (1840-2020),
    including the Treaty settlements of negotiated by all past
    Governments, are all still in place and National in particular has not announced any plan to change any of this. ACT have other ideas, as
    does NZF.

    The clear message from Davis is do not vote for ACT or NZF.

    The clear message was the only thing not a lie or close to one. However he's avoiding the fact that it seems NZ has had a gutsful of the current government and it's anti-democratic, lying and bullying ways...

    Gosh there are many lines to read between in that article.

    “If they do away with rangatiratanga, two things happen,” Davis said. “They lump Māori in with every other minority in the country. They say, ‘you know, there’s nothing special about tangata whenua, you’re just
    the same as everyone else.’”

    Unquote

    What the majority of NZers want is a democracy, one person/human one vote.
    All votes are ranked the same.

    Cultural issues/matters are a separate issue and can be dealt with by discussion/debate and plan old under standing. At present we are still
    starting the process of going down the wrong road on one to civil unrest.

    “But the other thing is, what they do is they emphasise the kawanatanga.

    National have not said that they agree or disagree with that policy -
    so it is correct to say that National have not made the suggestions -
    but they have not disavowed them either.
    You are as bad as Davis. To suggest that a neither confirm nor deny response means confirm is your best shot, right? Go away and address the facts.

    Correct. All the signatories to the Treaty are long passed away. The commitments are no more than hereditary in respect of the crown.

    The Treaty was between the Crown and Maori through their many
    representatives at the time. That does not mean that the Treaty is not
    still binding on successors of the Crown, Governments of New Zealand
    or Maori. A partnership is in some respects a reflection of binding
    agreement between different parties. Do you believe that Cullen and
    Finlayson for example were wrong to settle some Treaty Claims while
    they held the position of Minister for Treaty Settlements?

    would believe otherwise is for you to try to explain to yourself - if
    you can. Describing ACT as National's coalition partner is a fact -
    it does not imply that National supports all ACT policies - or even
    any of them!

    You may apologise now, Tony.

    It helps to actually read the article:
    "Davis made the comments in an interview with TeAoNews.co.nz. He
    warned of devastating consequences for Maori if Nationals coalition >>>partner Act was successful in redefining Te Tiriti and putting it to a >>>referendum.

    If they do away with rangatiratanga, two things happen, Davis said. >>>They lump Maori in with every other minority in the country. They
    say, you know, theres nothing special about tangata whenua, youre
    just the same as everyone else.

    But the other thing is, what they do is they emphasise the
    kawanatanga. So its really back to the 1800s where the Government was >>>the be-all and end-all. And rangatiratanga is in jeopardy.

    So Davis did not claim that National would do anything - he was making >>>the point that it is ACT policy to have parliament ''reinterpret'' the >>>treaty to change the interpretation of Treaty provisions.

    National have not said that they agree or disagree with that policy -
    so it is correct to say that National have not made the suggestions -
    but they have not disavowed them either.
    You are as bad as Davis. To suggest that a neither confirm nor deny response >>means confirm is your best shot, right? Go away and address the facts.
    I did not say that, and indeed a neither confirm nor deny response
    does _not_ mean what you imply - my response did not imply that the
    proposals were either supported or rejected by National. Why you
    would believe otherwise is for you to try to explain to yourself - if
    you can. Describing ACT as National's coalition partner is a fact -
    it does not imply that National supports all ACT policies - or even
    any of them!

    You may apologise now, Tony.
    Nothing to apologise for. I stand by what I wrote which happens to be accurate. It is for you to apologise to everybody in this group for your repetitive abuse and lies.

    Correct. All the signatories to the Treaty are long passed away. The >>commitments are no more than hereditary in respect of the crown.
    The Treaty was between the Crown and Maori through their many
    representatives at the time. That does not mean that the Treaty is not
    still binding on successors of the Crown, Governments of New Zealand
    or Maori. A partnership is in some respects a reflection of binding
    agreement between different parties. Do you believe that Cullen and
    Finlayson for example were wrong to settle some Treaty Claims while
    they held the position of Minister for Treaty Settlements?

    No I do not - because those claims stem from Government actions
    against Maori long ago.

    National have never preferred co-governance. Your Goebbels slip is showing.

    The claims Davis made are purely political and not based on any
    semblance of fact. What is at stake is only the undemocratic
    governance provisions in the water reforms legislation Labour has
    enacted but never mentioned prior to the last election. Nothing more, nothing less.

    All the cumulative actions of the previous 180 years (1840-2020),
    including the Treaty settlements of negotiated by all past
    Governments, are all still in place and National in particular has not announced any plan to change any of this. ACT have other ideas, as
    does NZF.

    The clear message from Davis is do not vote for ACT or NZF.
