Take 5 minutes to listen to Rodney rarking up ACT's proposed referendum. And share it far and wide. He is right on the button.
Listen here
(For clarification, this is ACT's proposal:
ACT would bring a Treaty Principles Act to Parliament.
The Act would be short but decisive. It would define the Principles of the Treaty as:
- All citizens of New Zealand have the same political rights and duties
- All political authority comes from the people by democratic means including universal suffrage, regular and free elections with a secret ballot
- New Zealand is a multi-ethnic liberal democracy where discrimination based on ethnicity is illegal
After debate and passage by Parliament, New Zealanders would then have the final say via referendum.)
The idea of principles has only come about since the rogue James Freeman version of the treaty was discovered. in my opinion, The Waitangi Tribunal was set up by statute and ought to be abolished That would be the first step to put the genie back in the bottle. Watch the Treatyists squeal then.
Revealing Poll Shows People See Te Tiriti O Waitangi [te reo maori version], As Partnership – New Zealand Human Rights Commission -
(KM - they do not like democracy let alone referenda)
The 23/11/23,press release is a panicky response to the incoming troika government.
Well, the release is BS. A deceitful and dishonourable con job.
He Puapua
Since its [initially-leaked] public release in 2018, the He Puapua report has become synonymous with co-governance, (KM - seen by many as divisive and separatist).
The He Puapua report’s co-author is Dr Claire Charters
She says education is pivotal if the rights within te Tiriti o Waitangi are to be realised for everyone in New Zealand.
The usual spiel - we are here…
And so it starts. ACT and David Seymour's treaty referendum policy gets its next thumping using the media reflection on a selected university professor to kick-back at democratic process. The woke professor who can make comments to oppose as they are so called "qualified". Its a common strategy the Ardern/Hipkins era used effectively, leading to voters thinking "I supposed that professor must be right as they are qualified".

Instead of expressing this opinion solely the media should balance the subject such as this as an example: Hence the perfect example of how media has lost impartiality by filtering out news to be only that which fits the narrative. Unless the next government perceives this trick it will fail dismally.
Kiwis need to grow a pair.
It's that simple.
I mean this. I will launch a referenda peppered and laden with the help of people here who care, and I am determined not to let this cancerous culture of socialist rotten utopia flourish any longer or let this country slide into obscurity simply because we , and myself, hadn't the fortitude, the strength, the stomach or the guts to make our resolute determination relevant and purposeful and fight like hell against those who propogate misery and endless subservience because they exist simply to do so for self entitled effontery.
Give me strength lord, and give me time. With the help of all of us here we can Beat the bullshitter, beat the wankers, and lord, give everyone here …
