And it begins…
Heavy hitters named in first day of oral submissions on Treaty Principles Bill
…Day 1 of the submissions of the Treaty Principle turned into series of devastating critiques that highlights what a race baiting redneck stunt this whole thing is.
Expert after expert lined up against red neck fuckwits trying to put their case to this terrible legislation.

vs
David Seymour, David Farrar, Hobson’s Pledge dickheads and the Grand Cyclops Elizabeth Rata and Cracker King Gary Judd.
It’s what Racist redneck ZB Trolls would call Liberal Elites vs Patriots.
Farrar’s defence of this red neck race baiting hatred was particularly hilarious – he claims we need change because people are anxious about the Treaty – but David, they’re only anxious about the Treaty because right wing attack dogs like you make them anxious about the Treaty!
For those not paying attention.
The Treaty is not a between races, it’s between the Crown and Māori!
There are two versions, an English version and a Māori version.
Most Māori signed the Māori version.
The Māori version doesn’t cede sovereignty.
We are signed up to UN Human Rights that state when there are two treaties, the version in the indigenous language takes precedence.
The Treaty Principles were an attempt to recognise that and create the framework within which Māori and Pakeha can work together.
Replacing the Treaty Principles with ones that don’t directly compel the Crown to work with Māori would undo all the work of the last 185 years just so ACT can implement a very narrow Libertarian philosophy on property rights which will open the door to mass privatisation.
So far it’s been a searing criticism of the whole process and I think National ACT and NZF have horribly misread this and Kiwis actively supporting it are racists masquerading as patriotic defenders of democracy
Watching Civil Society vs redneck banjo twanging cross burners week in and week out for 6 months is going to benefit ACT and the cost of NZF and National while providing the Left a true rallying point.
Increasingly as this debate proceeds, those Kiwis supporting this will be increasingly alienated and outed as naked racists pretending their concern about Democracy isn’t about their bigotry.
The ignorance between those in favour of this appalling legislation vs the intelligence of those who are countering it is blistering.
Increasingly having independent opinion in a mainstream media environment which mostly echo one another has become more important than ever, so if you value having an independent voice – please donate here.
The beauty of local politics is that anything can be overturned. Are we going to have a six month long side show now…so what’s going to friggin fly in under the radar during this bloody shyt show.
I thought that was the RSB until a NZ patriot warned us on SM about this draconian proposed bill
If Seymour’s bill achieves nothing else, it will at least reveal the brainwashed libertarian rednecks and uncle toms, so it’s not an absolute 100% waste, as there’s a small upside coming out of stirring up his stillborn tempest, that was politically doomed from its coalition agreement conception.
It’s Seymour’s Atlas Network air benders long game manipulation strategy to reduce ingrained rights under the guise of equal rights. We should all in our sentient wisdom reject the infantile supremacist mindgames for what they are, and what they stand for alongside Arbeitsdorf, Buchenwald, Dachau, and consign them to history’s cesspit of ideologies once and for all. For we are better than that, we are better than the Brentons, better than the small hop skip and jump from the supposedly righteous treaties principles trojan horse, to those that goose stepped towards their final solution.
Proud boy Mr eight percent is not the messiah or the pied piper, he’s a political false prophet of happenstance promoting a heist against our history, a scam against our better nature, trying to maintain the privileged position of the privileged, by upending the country’s founding document, a settled contract he seeks to redefine for the underhanded purposes of his murky backers, is the epitome of luxontatious arrogance, that we need to push the accelerator on, to see it recede in our collective rear view mirror.
You watch? When seymour gets to Southland he’ll be carried high on the lips of local farmer natzo arse kissers. The very same ones he and roger have made a trade out of abusing.
The against camp of the TPB seem more organised and far more coherent with their submissions unlike Elizabeth Rata, Gary Judd, David Farrar, Seymour were just sprouting repeated overused slogans
Two legs bad, four legs good. The Far Left never change.
Everytime you opine, you prove yourself to be a far right idiot. Well done.
Luxon and no-boats Nicola will be frothing at the opportunity to gut the country while everyone is distracted by Seymour making a naked grab for all the cookies.
The stage has been set nicely for Winston to upend the table, dissolve the coalition cartel and drive the thieves out, sometime around budget day in May 2025.
If the old wind sac wants to leave a lasting legacy that is and be remembered for more than an empty bladder in a wine box.
By contrast Te Pait Maori is the Party of Love?
By contrast right wing parties are racist and full of hatred.
Ohhh Squeaky, using different names now!
Awwww bless, you give yourself away by your obsession with Bob the first.
He lives in your head rent free and is clearly the winner as I’m sure he doesn’t give you a second thought.
Go Bob the first….you’ve beaten Squeaky
?
Hahahaha nah not me Im not righty. Triggered you though, Im not righty or is that Xenophobe, no you are Bob the thick aren’t you.
Seems it is me living rent free in your head though, so I’m clearly the winner. Bob the thick always responds to me it’s like that little voice in his head that he needs tablets for hehehe.
Go National are Squeaky Clean….you’ve beaten Bob the thick, Xenophobe, Off White, Trevor, Im tighty righty or whichever name you use.
Awwww…. Go back to “Squeaky”. Reminds me of Ford’s wannabe assassin.
Martyn Bradbury
Your nothing but a left wing wanker. be to bad if the ACT party get to call the shots at the next election
Sorry to confirm your ignorance but this is actually a left wing blog so obviously Bradbury should have left wing opinions. I know you are a right wing troll and you are correct it would be too bad if ACT continued to call the shots at the next election because with only 8% that’s exactly what he’s doing now. While we are at it he constantly goes on about wasteful spending this Treaty principles bill that’s going to go absolutely no where is costing 6 million dollars.
Seymour is just stirring the pot here. This bill does nothing except 4-Chan level trolling.
How come the twerking slimer gets to speak. Isn’t this a venue for the public to speak and the pollies to shut up and listen.
As Jack Nicolson said in a movie. “The inmates are running the asylum”.
The spinoff article said that Gary Judd KC is Seymour’s uncle, anyone verify?
