National's ETS to include special treatment for Maori - Video

Negotiations with iwi are not the only negotiations taking place around the Emissions Trading Scheme. Government is also talking with businesses to plant trees on governemnt land to earn carbon credits and government has also sought to reduce the costs to agriculture to support them through the transitional phase and reduce the likelihood of an economic decline. Yet none of these other discussions are highlighted even though they will costs the tax payer more than the Treaty Settlements. Why? Because we still live in a country so riddled with racism - a country of people that still vomit at the idea that Maori may remotely benefit from any negotiations. To say that Maori will not pay taxes as a result of the ETS is idiotic! Maori will pay taxes like everyone else and Maori will pay taxes on behalf of the agriculture sector which emits more than 50% of carbon dioxide into the air. And I can tell you the majority of people involved in the Agriculture sector are not Maori, but hey who cares...lets just worry about the small percentage of support iwi are getting and forget about the rest...

Chargone... you're such an idiot. Thats Moari land they're talking about. The crown owned land is the land that taxpayers are going to pay for. Thats right... Maori are real Landlords and we all know that they are owed billions by Nz governments that hand over the bill to the taxpayers in which Maori are. Everybody pays tax in NZ; its required by the law. Racism- something thats existed in NZ for just a little over 2.5 centuries. Nazi party- What do you think the national front is?????? Steve, you should do what other people tell you. Especially what the government tells you. You both could march down Wellington and kick up a stink there at the beehive. Especially if you have a problem. But I guess you don't have the gumption for that... unlike a minority thats has all the right to do so.

let the moari govern aoteroa if you think they should get nothing. Take out the haka from the all-black also. And don't forget why the tourists come to nz... its not to dee how european the place is.
