My political piece was on the Tauranga sea gardens. This is about my tipuna Hori Ngatai back in 1844 saying that the Tauranga harbour beds were his sea gardens and if the crown at the time wanted to exercise the queens chain then they had to go out past Tuhua to do so.
In my research I found it interesting that the Maori Party has an agreement with the National Party to say that they will review NOT REPEAL the Foreshore and Seabed Legislation but the Review panel has no powers only that they can make recommendations. In return the Maori Party will not talk out against the national Party.
I think Aotearoa shoul be very cautious about this agreement and take the rose coloured glasses off and think seriously about the new legislations that are being passed. If the Maori Party are being gagged then surely the Labour Party Maori MPs would speak up. But alas there are no great words of caution coming from any camp.
An example of what I am talking about is the way Paula Bennett is carrying on using Parliamentary Privilledge to release the financial details of two beneficiaries. To add salt to the wound this week she is going at people who earn over a thousand dollars per week on the benefit. Not that it is illegal but it is rather high. These are people who have over 10 kids. Go forth and Procreate I say. It alarms me that this is her focus when there are 100s of kiwis signing up every day due to the recession. Switch your focus Paula, due to the recession you are going to be the statistically worst performing Social Welfare Minister in a decade. The New Zealand Herald say she has released the beneficiary bashers who have been quiet for some time.
Next will be the Maori statistics coming up again and what do think National will do about those high stas. Legislate of course. Once the Racist radicals are released next with their outlandish comments it wil be PR mayhem.
While all of that is going on Im going to keep a look into what the new legislations are being passed that we are not media informed about.
Hine the sceptic. Watch this space!!!!!
