IWI - I want it

[jasonu]

Yes, I know. As we should all know though, what is printed in the media is simply tosh. The details of the allegedly requested dividend haven't been made public and the things I've heard Dr Pita Sharples say about this process are markedly different to what gets reported. Question everything, not just that which is comfortable for each of us to question.

Well if Pita Sharples said it then it must be true...

I see most of you are falling for the divide and conquer method that our friends in Govt. love to use. Makes a great distraction from the real issues too.
Mr Key and previous Govts. have stated that no-one owns water, so where the fuck do they get off selling the use of it.


I'm with Mr Deuce on this one.

[Road kill]

That shit is just fucked up.

Surely most Maori think its stupid as well.

No,we've lived with 200 years of being constantly undermined and ignored by the people we were ment to be in partnership with,,,so most of us are just sitting back and watching the long over due justice unfold.

This is the trouble with modern society huh,,,,,you actualy have to honor your past commitments now days.

Sorry about that,,,but yeah,,the party is over so you may as well get used to it,,,,we had to.

there's the answer just sit back and watch eh?
there's two main types of bones, jaw bones and back bones, easy to figure out which is the most effective at earning their keep

Ifthe assest cannot be sold cleanly , as in the water that runs the machines must be guaranteed , or even the air , or indeed the ground which the water is on . No one will touch it with a barge pole , ( one assumes )

cant sell .

Didn’t see that one coming Mr IMF man ,,,HA ! in your face America !

Personally I would rather see this land go to hell and high water under Maori , than under America !!!

Was one interesting comment I heard , by delaying or looking like others caused the delays , up until the next election , it may give national away out , or if successful in the next election , more zest in selling ,

Show me where in the treaty we have to give Maori preferential treatment over everyone else.
As you lot keep harping on about partnership it's about time you started doing some work.

What happens if the wind bill isn't paid?

Who pays for damage caused by excess wind?

Do we get a credit if the wind blows in the wrong direction?

If the wind comes from Antarctica do the Iwi pay the penguins a percentage?

Funny........

It'll end when the Gubbermint stops trying to sell the means of energy generation to overseas interests.

Probably........

You guys haven't spotted that pattern yet? Don't forget that what you read on Stuff and Nanny Herald bears little relation to reality and is heavyily laced with right-wing propaganda . The only group left in NZ who can mount a credible challenge to the National Government's desire to sell off tax-payer funded assets are Maori. They have the legal means to do so and it appears they are taking the lead.

However the average Kiwi's blind racist rage at anything "IWI" based is being used to distract Whitey from the fact that his brown brethren are making a better fist of preventing these unwanted sales from going ahead.

Exactly.........

Dunno about the treaty... but try this for size dickweed... United Nations DRIPS

Article 4 and Article 8 being a couple of faves

And the fact that their actions advantage them and only them is entirely coincidental?

When an entity's words and actions fail to agree; believe the actions.

Geeze time to get my Indigenous membership renewed.

I see this action as far more beneficial to me than asset sales and I'm ngati-pakehahahahaha.
