Well, well, well. What do we have here?
Landmark Waitangi Tribunal report recommends Govt return Ngāpuhi land
A landmark report by Waitangi Tribunal into extensive Treaty breaches against northern Māori has finally been presented to iwi in Northland.
The 2000-page report lays out two key recommendations: for all Crown-owned land in Northland to be returned to Māori, and for the Crown to enter talks about reworking New Zealand’s constitutional framework.
The report is reinforced by the decades-long Te Paparahi o Te Raki, or Northland Inquiry, which considered half a million pages of evidence.
…in Settler Culture, Cracker did good by da Maaaaoris and any suggestion otherwise is actually co-governance racism!
Here we have 2000 pages detailing the crimes of the Settler Government and their ongoing crimes of occupation AT THE SAME TIME as we have a new hard right racist Government hellbent on destroying any attempt at fulfilling the promise of the Treaty that challenges entrenched 19th Century White Settler privilege.
Remember – the current Treaty Negotiations Minister, Paul Goldsmith outrageously claimed that ‘on balance e’ colonisation was actually for da Māoris…
Colonisation a good thing for Māori ‘on balance’ – National MP Paul Goldsmith
National’s education spokesperson Paul Goldsmith says while colonisation may have been “traumatic” for Māori, overall it has had a positive effect.
…this is why Waitangi Day this year has to to scare the fuck out of boomer settler culture.
The peace that was generated by attempting to fulfil the Treaty has now been abandoned by a Far Right Government focused on legislating the Principles of the Treaty out of any existence, that’s why the fury and anger at Luxon must be beyond anything this country has seen or else the settler culture will win.
Their cross burning banjo twanging redneck racism is now out in the open and these bigots feel enabled.
They want a fight, let’s give these bigots a fight!
Make sure Waitangi Day Protest in 2024 are unlike any other, let those Soccer mums and Soccor Dads in the suburbs know there will be no peace for them in their EVs while this Hard Right Racist Government attempts its anti-Māori agenda.
Let the Right Wing Government get everything it deserves this Waitangi Day.

I worked on a couple of treaty claims. The government actually “lost” 30,000 acres of land that was supposed to be allocated to Maori in the Wairarapa. Nothing ever done about it, no compensation no nothing. I was never quite sure how you could lose land let alone 30,000 acres of it. But there you go – when you really, really try.
Lost = Sold
Here in New Plymouth the records of how over 90% of Maori reserve land ended up in settler hands were also lost. The District Council therefore had no authority to return them directly to local hapu.
I love the Waitangi Tribunal
They make life simple with their recommendations
We either have democracy with everyone’s vote being equal or we have Maori Sovereignty.
We can’t have both
Referendum time !
The appointment of Goldsmith and his subsequent reported comments indicate where this government sits on Maori rights and treaty negotiations.
The history Goldsmith was taught was probably the same ethnically cleansed shit I was taught at school.
Isn’t interesting that he was going to be a finance minister in Judith Collins government and has been replaced by a Journalist in Willis. National the government of business run by Journalist, Historian, Cigarette salesman, and a soap salesman come Airline manager that was government owned anyway. Helped by two Onion Maori who are shit scared that real Maori might actually show them up if they are given the chance.
History is interesting when it comes to what is told .Why do apologist for Maori make a big think of Cook,killing 4 Maori on there first encounter and nothing about Te Rauparaha killing 700 as he came South to take revenge for an insult .
Maori had a change of life thrust on them which destroyed a way of life and left many still struggling to make their way and finding their place in society.
It does need to be remembered that not all was great in pre European NZ with tribal war a constant threat .Many of those that signed the treaty did so as a way to stop stronger tribes from killing them or making them salves.
Meanwhile the worlds carbon emissions reach a new high and we briefly reach two degrees above normal temps. 5000 native species in NZ are threatened with extinction due to biodiversity collapse. The culture war is distracting us from the real issues. Ain’t no Maori left in a 6 degree warmer world….
Oh sure Neil. This bunch of absolute muppets, that are in the coalition, would be all over global warming if it wasn’t for addressing the other “inconvenient truth” of Crown theft.
