The world’s truest oxymoron – honest lawyer

So NZ gets invited to a climate change gab fest and Tim Grosser doesn’t know why.

Simple, the only nations invited are third world ones. Thanks John Key for dragging us down.

‘Nothing existed that showed Ngapuhi ceded sovereignty. “We never ever saw an English version of the treaty and we never signed one.” ‘ – stuff.com

Nothing, that is, but a blindly silence – you would have thought that if this was indeed a true issue, we might have heard a little more about it before now.

so i’m pickin you dont have many Maori friends huh Yvette ?…and especially no Nga Puhi ones. You got any Tuhoe friends ?

authorities falsely accused Tūhoe of involvement in the killing of missionary Karl Volkner in the Volkner Incident and confiscated the iwi’s fertile lands. Tūhoe lost 5700ha of land on its northern border from a total of 181,000ha of land confiscated by the Grey government from Tūhoe, Te Whakatōhea and Ngāti Awa. The Crown took Tūhoe’s only substantial flat, fertile land and their only access to the coast. The Tūhoe people retained only harsh, more difficult land, setting the scene for later famines

Oh i dont think Nga Puhi want money starboard. They want rightful autonomy over their land and seas again, which they never ceded.

Just like Tuhoe who never even signed the treaty, are in reparations negotiations and to which the Declaration of indigenous rights only strengthens their case.

Don’t you guys listen to what Maori have been saying since the first was first dishoured whil the ink was still drying ?

So tell me, do you guys have any ‘kiwi’ friends who might tell you about this ?

the independence of New Zealand is a matter of continued academic and social debate. New Zealand has no fixed date of independence, instead independence came about as a result of New Zealand’s evolving constitutional status.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independence_of_New_Zealand

I’d say Key better start making some room for separatism cos its as inevitable as NZ becoming a republic as soon as the treaty claims are settled, In much the same way as NZ became autonomous without ever gaining independence form the British empire.

Meanwhile the accommodation shortfall in NZ for the RWC goes largely ignored.

Homestays might have to be deployed like in the London Blitz.

Pinetree told me that 120,000 are reasonably expected, and with many coming early, and/or staying late so that they can ensure cheap flights and an opportunity to see this wonderful country.

The Australian contingent expected to be the most numerous by a long stretch, especially with the AUD looking so strong for the forseeable.

No offence taken, I2. My favourite is: what is brown and black and looks good on a lawyer? A rottweiller

The bloke should have known better. Criminal convictions (if old enough) are not necessarily a bar to being admitted if you are upfront and honest about them. The fact that he decided to lie about them allows us to think that he really hasn’t turned over a new leaf at all.

and of course you know the Maori version of the treaty under international law should be the only legitimately recognized one. The interpretations of which favour the Maori view that they never ceded sovereignty ?.. .NO ?

Pollywog –
when recently have Nga Puhi in the mainstream media
stated We never signed the Treaty and therefore have autonomy over our land and seas.
I don’t remember, for example, this being stated by Nga Puhi at the time of the Foreshore Seabed law changes – they didn’t in MSM say THIS DOES NOT APPLY TO US! WE ARE AN EXCEPTION, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?

Yeah nah bro…yeah i hear what you’re saying starboard, but nah you got it all wrong.

The money is compensation for the illegal confiscation of land and seas, the years of humiliation and institutionalised racism. That’s shit they’ll never get back so what else can be offered instead ? some comparative pittance of compensation ?

Pakeha colonists bred welfare dependency into Maori. So now deal with the consequences. Own that shit !!!

Keepers of the land ?…Maori still own most of the land cuz, always have, always will…in spirit and in law. Thats a fact ALL NZers need to be awake to and until they stop dreaming its otherwise we can’t move forward.

so yeah, fools better recognize.

A nic quote from Paula Bennet she accidentally referenced in parliament…..

“The problem is that one-sixth of the population has an IQ under 85. At this level, people struggle with tasks like reading and understanding official documents, or working out a budget. These are the people who used to do the unskilled jobs that have now disappeared, and many of them are now long-term welfare dependent.”

I have always had a sweet spot for Paula – the problem is she is correct however very sad…

If the Ngapuhi claim they never ceded sovereignty then they shouldn’t be able to make any treaty claims should they? And if their land was unfairly taken off them, well… A LOT of people’s land is unfairly taken off them in war and not given back. I’m not saying it’s fair, but it’s a fact of life.

The waitangi tribunal is the only place to legitimately air their greivances and seek reparation for the wrongs, and besides the confiscations weren’t enacted under wartime conditions.

The colonial gov’t legislated in peacetime to steal the land which sparked the maori resistance that still continues.

i know but thats what the treaty did. it fixed tribal borders and so halted the natural process for hapu to form new tribes, alliances and essentially created an environment to suit the classic colonial ploy of divide and conquer.

I’ve argued before it would have been better if maori hadn’t signed the treaty and fought out their tribal civil wars with the eventual winner becoming one single united maori nation instead of the fractious union of individual sovereign iwi we have now.

chances are it would been a fight to the death between nga puhi and tainui with the winner going on to assimilate ngai tahu as ngai tahu themselves did to nearly all the other sth island iwi.

it would even have suited the colonial gov’t to have fostered that climate of tribal war instead of creating a treaty they never had any intent of honouring. Let em kill each other and step in to pick up the pieces when no one had any real claim to anything anymore.

@ Guy Fawkes: What accommodation shortfall? In February of this year (high season), hotels, motels and backpackers put up more than 2.5 million guests – link here: http://www.tourismresearch.govt.nz/Data–Analysis/Accommodation/Commercial-Accommodation-Monitor/CAM-Key-Data/
I think they can cope with 120,000 coming in the off-season.

What happened 150 years ago has nothing to do with me.

What happened 150 yrs ago with the signing of the treaty has everything to do with you and all of us here now. Hard earned taxes and criminal waste you say ? …*yawn* your whole well being and the system that allows you to prosper is predicated on criminal lies and racism. You carry the burden for your ancestors and in doing nothing to change you’re as guilty as those who came before you.

But then again thats a Pasifikan value/lesson you wouldn’t know much about eh ?it s all about you and the experience of your own lifetime being the be all and end all by which you judge others…it’s all you all the time. try walking a mile in maori shoes though for generations they’ve mostly been too broke to afford em

ah fuck it…Just hurry up and fuck off if you’re not prepared to learn from the mistakes of your ancestors !!

and no Pascal we arent all NZers we never gained independence so technically we’re still british subjests, so are maori as guaranteed in the treaty so we shouldn’t then need visas and passports to travel and live there. Some of us are more NZ than others and no way am i some shy flightless nocturnal “kiwi” in a struggle against extinction.

i’m some highly evolved next level carnivorous pasifikan hybrid bird of paradise that will soon assimilate the remnants of colonial ‘kiwis’, starting with swiftman the idiots daughters. Bet his trailer trash offspring can’t get enough of us bros…:)

Cameron in the UK seems to be playing a dangerous game in thinking he can call another election in twelve months time.
He forgets one little fact, Labour and the Lib Dems got 52% of the votes cast.

Call another election he he could well find Labour and the Lib Dems voting tactically to get either a Labour or a Lib dem winner in a lot more seats.

Fuck, it will be funny to see conservatives whining that tactical voting is wrong.

Sorry William, with grammar the comma separates and makes stand alone the phrase ‘permanent land confiscations this time’, as to diferentiate between the current Treaty process. If I had wanted to use the ‘this time’ phrase to cover jails and tears I would have put a comma after confiscations, so as to cover all the sub components of the sentence.

F. What? It seems like history started yesterday for you lot. I think it is just willful ignorance to support the status quo. But that status is no longer so quo. Your lots politics of choice Nat / Act (am I far enough right?) have chosen to coalesce with Maori. So political,democratic gain is going to be made by the indigenous people of New Zealand on your ticket. Ha ha ha. It wasn’t going to happen under Labour.

Yes Maori will take possession of the sea side and health services and education; so you lot are going to have to learn a little respect, a little reo and a whole lot of aroha or you will all be going home to mummy.

Oh and you know what conservative poms call ex-colonials? yip white niggers. Good luck.

Why is it that fuck all of the treaty settlement monies ever benefit the people, only the corrupt elite at the top. Answer me that one pollywog.

i’m not saying its right but iwi/pasifikans were always hierarchal and wealth always favoured privileged families of high birth and royal blood, but be sure there’s benefits going to all and more as soon as all treaty settlements are finalised with all iwi pooling resources and finances to unite as one people.

watch the power of the state, supported by 80% of the population, come to bear upon a terrorist minority.

uh no…watch the law finally rule in favour of the rightful owners with the state having to back down and accomodate maori sovereignty/native title, first over the foreshore and seabed then over larger tracts of crown land and buybacks of confiscated freehold to recompense Maori.

terrorist minority… pfffft and do you really think if it came to a cicvil war that the armed forces, stacked with maori would open up on their own people ?

Most of you really have no idea where you are and who really holds the balance of power do you ?

Sweet… i’ll serve notice on you. Youv’e got 2 generations to sort your shit out or fuck off cos by then we’ll have assimilated you into our cultural consciousness and be runing things good and proper.

It seems to me that half the devestation caused by this guy was avoidable, if he was simply locked up from the first time he was caught.

Jeezus at least you are honest about it mate. I grew up in Levin, did you? Do you remember the apartheid that was run at Horowhenua College? All the Maori were to the South of the main campus, separated by the tennis courts ie. 6m high cyclone fencing. There were a few middle class Maori scattered through the white part of the school. Charming set up.

There was one Maori guy I grew up with who was a real dynamo he wanted to change things for the tribe in Levin but he has ended up like so many in that foul little place, wrecked by drugs.

So Murray if you can say that Maori made you racist; we can conclude that you and your Pakeha friends made my mate a P addict.

Pollywog,

I’ve got a lot of sympathy for the plight of the Maori, the land confiscation, the misinformation of the treaty process, the effects of disease and alcohol brought by the Europeans, institutional racism, ignorant settler mentality, all of that, but we’re coming to a time now where we have to move forward. If you just antagonize the majority with extremism u won’t get anywhere. Also, a lot of Maori also have Pakeha heritage, have you asked them what they would like? What r u advocating, a return to the tribal past, that bird has flown. Everybody that is born in the world has to make the most of their circumstance and push forward — Maori have a better opportunity than since colonisation first happened to actually make a difference and keep their culture alive, but if everybody just promotes separatism you won’t get far. Pakeha are still the majority, and they have kept the home fires burning over most of the country for the last 150 years. If some were pushed to test the sovereignty of the NZ government through armed aggression, they would just be put in jail. But if Maori leaders were to stand up and offer genuinely different governance approaches to issues like the environment, conservation rather than mining, public access for all to our coastline, sharing and community over individualism, I would support them.

I am not nor know of any robinsod. follow the link in my psudonym dipshits.

Jinpy : Maori leaders won’t unite until all treaty claims are settled cos at the moment the cashed up iwi elite of the present cannot make decisions or governance approaches without taking into account Nga Puhi and Tuhoe. the bigeest and the stauchest of iwi.

They’re just waiting til all major players are evenly resopurced and can bring something of real value to the negottiating table.

After checking out your blog polly I can see why you have the opinion you do.

You just are a try hard anti establishment little boy, thinking its cool to ‘stand up to the man’ for the little guy – in this case Maori, who you probably know nothing about.

“How about the Republic of South Manukau? Let’s see the fat bastards try and govern themselves with meth and lamb flaps.”

What about Whangamomona? It is an independent republic and they govern themselves with black and tans and a few sharpies; so what is your point H.D.?

26 people live in Whangamomona and nobody gives a damn that they are independent, they don’t advocate republicanism except by example. Whangamomona is a shit hole, but it is their shit hole and they are bloody proud of it, hooray for Whangamomona.

A nice quote from Paula Bennet she accidentally referenced in parliament…..

“The problem is that one-sixth of the population has an IQ under 85. At this level, people struggle with tasks like reading and understanding official documents, or working out a budget. These are the people who used to do the unskilled jobs that have now disappeared, and many of them are now long-term welfare dependent.”

I have always had a sweet spot for Paula – the problem is she is (in)correct however very sad…

You may well ask why those jobs have disappeared.
Today I was invited into a factory. The business adds finishing to metal products and the like. The owner pointed to a pile of aluminum gates, long one for auto gates. He said that’s where you young peoples jobs have gone. To China, the product is flimsy but cheaper and we have to fund our unemployed youth to collect a benefit while the China man works for what he can get.

Can anyone wonder why youth in NZ are angry (and Drink),when being locked out of jobs by the socialists non youth rate policy.

So Paula Bennet is not right and neither does she go into bat for the youth. Why because their vote doesn’t count. If their vote counted and was needed the attitude would change. And it will. for by election time the Nats. will be looking for voters.
I can never remember so much antagonism towards a Govt. in such a short time.
Todays Kiwiblogs are good example of how people are feeling but the oblivious just carry on in their myopic way.
Oh well.

Hey thanks bevan and starboard for stopping over and reading my shit. Its more an outlet to pass time and make personal observations, a bit of music, some design and photo stuff. Nothing to heady so i imagine your neanderthal brains wouldn’t have found it too taxing. I can only hope to one day acquire your astute judgment and wholesome outlook on life and people in general.

So yeah who the fuck are you and what the fuck have you ever done for anybody other than yourselves ?

Why Key should have remained with the delgation to the Middle East.
This for all those that bagged Langley and his criticism. Here is the reason we need to value that area. Its a real life NZ story that has the potential to raise our standard of living doing what we do best.

Fonterra eyes ‘wow’ market
By ANDEA FOX – BusinessDay.co.nz

With a population nudging one billion, an average age of 25 and GDP of more than US$1 trillion, Fonterra’s latest dairy sales hunting ground has, as a marketer puts it, the “wow” factor.

The consumer brands team at the headquarters in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, of New Zealand’s biggest company, and of the world’s largest dairy exporter, has its sights on a market comprising the Commonwealth of Independent States (all the “stans”), North Africa, East Africa and the East Mediterranean.

The total gross domestic product of this 43-country market, which includes war-torn Iraq, is worth US$1.6 trillion (NZ$2.2t), says Fonterra Brands’ general manager, developing markets, Tamer El Ashmawy.

DPF; This is a good story and worth comment. Too many have myopic small minded world views and need their eyes and minds opened to our future.
