What Maori don't realise is that when they signed the treaty they gave up ownership of everything to the queen and as the crown acts in her interests if she wants to sell off anything then she has every right too.Needless to say there will be some very happy English millionaires/billionaires including the royals once these sales proceed.None more so than Baron Michael Ashcroft a personal friend of John Key who visited NZ during the election campaign.

John Key will take as much as he can get away with. Mining, selling State assets, shonkey pokies, foreign ownership, cutting state services. Is this all he can do? Oh I forgot the under funded cycle ways. This will be his legacy.

I had read in law that you can own the property but the Queen owns the water. This meaning the Queen is to care for the water ways everyone has rights to the water that ran across their property but they cannot stop the natural flow of the water and the Queen could not profit from NZ'ers out of the water ways. This is only what i had read in law.
