Should the Treaty of Waitangi feature in asset sale legislation?

To 'Bum job' "we are the ultimate warriors" what are you some sort of super mongrel. The crown employed forces from all over the world and using the best weapons available to take on the natives and failed miserably. Maori were defeated by your "warrior diseases" and your "warriors burning crops" ACTUALLY! Now pay for your peoples lying and cheating B@#CH. Fix your own problems first you Maori bashing SL#T! Or cry all the way home!

Just we were smarter than you and we had guns you think you fullas were warriors then just have a peek into my history mate..we are the ultimate warriors!

Go home then you cry babies. No invitation was ever offered and you're free to go home anytime, simple no more reason to blame Maori for your pathetic, ignorant existence.
Walk the talk or just shut up!

When Maori stops getting benefit, child abuse and pays for themselves to stay in prison, then we will consider the treaty clause. They can't have everything. Now they claim for waters, soon they will claim for fresh air! How ridiculous! When they need benefit, they go to our govt, when the govt want to sell state shares to pay for their benefit,their health and their abused childen's education, then they are not happy. I feel so sick to see those protestors, stupid Hone's son, nephews!what a loser! The nation needs to have a vote to get it sorted.

the origonal people that wrote the treaty did it with all INTENT of bringing two cultures togeather had they knowen that one race would have used and twisted the treaty to there own ends then it would not have been written!

You maori have stolden land of eachother for hundreds of years and when the white man came you try and turn our good intent aghinst us...we could have wiped you out yet we decided to extend our hand of friendship to you and this is what we get in return...Some of you say we are visitors in this land of yours well i gotta say your the worst damb hosts i have ever seen!

Absdolutely not. The treaty is not relevant, particularly to the modern New Zealand. The framers of the treaty were no more aware of the shape of the world today than we are of the world of our future.
To have provisions that kowtow to a minority group, giving them the power over decision making for the good of the whole country, merely on the basis of their race, is nothing more or less than the apartheid of South Africa that the whole world eschewed in the past.

The treaty is in no way relevant today, it's held as an excuse for every Maori that thinks somebody (instead of the sweat from their own brow) owes them something. It's time to move forward in a country where everyone needs to have the same rights and opportunity as everyone else, no special rights based on color of ones skin. And no John Key New Zealanders do not think the continued farce of Waitangi should continue and he is right in saying it's a time for reflection we reflect on how much of a gutsful we've all had in 10% of population having so much sway of everything that happens in this country!
