National’s ‘Maaaari-gonna-steal-the-water-under-Labour’ racist dog whistle shows how frightened they are of Jacinda

National’s Treaty claims ‘scaremongering’ – Labour

The Government has been accused of scaremongering after it said Labour’s water tax would force Treaty of Waitangi settlements to be renegotiated.

Labour’s environment spokesman David Parker said Treaty Negotiations Minister Chris Finlayson was deliberately stoking tensions over the Treaty by making such a claim.

Parker said existing Treaty settlements included clauses which explicitly stated that any claims for freshwater were unresolved.

“The current Ngati Tuwharetoa settlement currently before Parliament … expressly states [that it] does not affect any rights of iwi and hapu in relation to water,” he said.

…Oh No! Maaaari might have a say over the heavily polluted rivers National helped exacerbate – what will motivate us?

Racism or clean drinking water?

The only reason there’s been an accord that no one owned the water was because water was seen as a public good. When National privatised the hydro power generator assets, stole water for farmers and created a $400million irrigation slush fund for their farmer mates, water ownership suddenly became an issue.

Labour are only acknowledging Maori have water rights because of National’s behaviour towards water!

For National to come out and blow their racist Treaty dog whistle shows how bloody frightened they are of Jacinda.

National’s response to Labour forcing famers to pay for the pollution they cause has been to claim  $18 cabbages and $50 bottles of wine when Labour’s cost on agriculture would only see a 1.3cent cost an a bottle of wine.

Hilariously, every solution National have put up to remedy problems they’ve exacerbated over 9yrs could be solved by just voting the pricks out!

I’ve got 99 problems and National being in power is 93 of them.
