A great letter sent to The Editor NZ Herald 14/1/15) CAP’N MORGAN’S TREATYISM Little point wasting too much time on Gareth Morgan’s current hallucinations. His ill conceived foray into the world of cats his regular rants on the evil of residential property investment notwithstanding Mr.Morgans purchase of luxury, Mount Maunganui beach mansion for squillions then spending millions on makeover work stretches the credibility. Being a self anointed guru on all topics suddenly the 4 part serial nonsense pumping up Mr.Morgan’s book “Are we there yet - the future of the Treaty of Waitangi.” appears out of left field. Perhaps Mr.Morgan, should reflect that there is only one Treaty, (maori version) with 3 Articles, a benign document all KIWIS can all live with. There is no treaty partnership, no special treaty obligations and no treaty principles other than those fabricated via political and judicial fictions over the past 40years .There can be no modernisation of Treaty terms because they remain what they were in 1840 and cannot be altered to suit special interest groups. Anyway the Treaty is an historical relic of no significance today. While on race issues, there is no place in NZ for (un)elected representation on Government or Local Authorities based on race, particularly as part-maori are no more indigenous than all other Kiwis born in NZ. Hopefully Kiwis have enough nous to work this out, even though the main media won’t readily accept reality! R P Tauranga https://sites.google/site/kiwifrontline/sundry
