The maori was highjacked by London city,

THANK GOD, Maori have managed to get themselves this far after 170 years of institutional oppression. Why is it that equal opportunities and one law for all only applies to non-Maori. Why do Maori need to constantly fight to have the same participation as everyone else. Clearly, only maori have the best interests of maori at heart not just any body else.

It is simply not good enough for New Zealand to go through history with double standards and lies. Te Tiriti and the Treaty both do justice for all parties concerned. Therefore, the treaty is central to re-orientating New Zealand onto the correct constitutional basis that we all can be proud of.

I tired of all the treat crap honestly. Maori seem to have a cry over everything. They have their own tv channel, their own party and they've claimed half the land back.
Maybe the government should take 'the natives' off the DPB, WINZ and DOL and then they would have something to cry about.
