Somebody called Blasta writes in SunLive, Good. Posted on 17-09-2014 19:15 | By Blasta Fair enough too. The land originally belonged to the Maori and we confiscated it. Anyone against this process is against whats fair and right and therefore bigoted, racist and ignorant. I disagree! There are options that are way more palatable than the present approach taken and to express them does NOT automatically put me in any of the three categories, bigoted, racist and ignorant. Might mean I prefer to do the right thing by all with an eye on best outcomes! The land belongs to no man, just bye the bye, being not created by him only abused and used. In regards how land tenure was acquired by one party or other depends on ones perception and likely tainted by a perceived benefit. Few deny that historically there have been actions on the part of the Crown that we consider grossly inappropriate (they continue today) and in regards Maori significant steps are underway by the Crown to address those. The process specifically excludes those assets in private ownership and that by local authorities, and in the Treaty Settlement redress processes, this is taken in to account and in part compensated for (in part). It is NOT unreasonable therefore, for folk to express concern, in some cases outrage, at what may appear to be a demand to have two bites of the cake. There are other options BUT ignored! Seems to me that we have some that choose to deliberately inflame different community viewpoints. sunlive.co.nz/news/82760-maori-land-policy-submissions-few.html
