Then and now?

Why the strange propensity of our governments to pay annual homage to Ratana, and what of Princess Te Puea’s reported attempted bargain with the Japanese in World War II? To find out more, check out the link above.
We are all now pretty well aware that the majority of our left-wing mainstream media journalists are pushing their own barrows. Having sold out their integrity by agreeing to the agenda behind the Public Interest Journalist Fund, they have the new coalition government in their sights, and are more than sympathetic to the tiny core group of radicalized Maori activists apparently obsessed by one part only of their genetic inheritance.
Although this certainly isn’t the case with all reporters, too many have long ditched the journalists’ code of honour – i.e facts are sacred – to indulge in warping these, quite openly mischief-making. A striking example is with regard to misrepresenting ACT leader David Seymour’s Treaty Principles Bill – (with its intent to give New Zealanders the chance to at last examine what the supposed “principles” of the Treaty of Waitangi actually are) – as an attempt to do away with the treaty.
Seymour proposed nothing of the sort, and given that National’s leader Christopher Luxon (recently obligingly putting in an appearance at the Big Gay Out festival) is now increasingly seen as weak when standing up to activists’ pressure, and saying National will not support the bill past its first reading, it’s going to be an interesting time ahead. However, the Prime Minister’s reason for saying this -that ACT’s bill is divisive, is regarded is feeble. Every piece of legislation can be regarded as divisive when it is promoted by one faction, and opposed by another. His was a silly statement.
Moreover, many think with reason that the Treaty of Waitangi, its intent and provisions now reinvented and distorted, should indeed be consigned to the dustbin of history. Seymour is right in emphasizing that people have had enough of race-based rights, which was never the intent of the treaty. On the contrary.
Luxon is seen as also being far too dominating in dealing with his own party members, seemingly with a propensity to see himself as ruling over a corporation (as when he was former CEO of Air New Zealand) instead of simply primus inter pares – temporarily leader of a political party composed of individuals of varying degrees of intelligence – some far more aware, for example, of the whole CO2 climate emergency scam so much costing us all, more than even in economic terms.
What our present Prime Minister also doesn’t seem to realize is that he is not the ruler of this county. The final say on this issue should be up to New Zealanders, and if they obviously wish ACT’s bill to be taken further, then so it should.
Most importantly, both the Prime Minister and the MSM seem to have no idea of the fact that by far the majority of part-Maori, getting on with their lives like all other New Zealanders, are utterly fed up with this splinter group of near fanatical extremists who are by no means averse to twisting actual facts and making false accusations. Both ACT’s leader and Winston Peters, the Deputy Prime Minister and highly intelligent leader of New Zealand First, are themselves part-Maori. Luxon would be better to step back, talk less and listen to them more.
As for the Maori Princess…. Facts are facts. Te Puea, herself part-European, a woman of extraordinary talents, was greatly respected during her lifetime and undoubtedly worked indefatigably on behalf of her own Tainui people. She was opposed to government conscription during the first World War and dissuaded the Tainui men from volunteering during World War 11. She was known in her youth to be impulsive and exuberant, involved in number of relationships, including one with a European – broken off at an uncle’s request. Were these a clue to an underlying volatility which may have made her actions as reported above more understandable – if she thought the country at the time was going in the wrong directions? But they remain a huge puzzle.
