Don't hold your breath for all to be treated equal in this Banana republic, the entitled Narcissistic Nohopers with their useless hands out will never give up receiving what they want From others who have to work to give it to them
Take your meds
@@ngamanaia1738 and find a new country if it all gets a bit much for you
@ngamanaia1738 I can't, I'm to busy paying for yours

James sounds like a reasonable man, but there is a video clip on YT of his boss, Luxon saying in reference to the Bill: "We're gonna spike it, we'll kill it." So, Luxon's intention is to thwart the whole process - where's the democracy in that?
he could be reasonable, or a silver tongued devil, they both try to sound the same . . . reality is 4/5 of national voters want a referendum at least, so ask yourself, who is luxon masters
WEF,and John key both are corrupt
@@jeremysmith5232 Luxon comes from the same corporate world as Key and even Ardern which is very much aligned with the WEF - Ardern being a WEF-trained young global leader. BlackRock, the American, multinational investment company seems to figure quite large as an influence.
Democracy only matters to politicians during elections much like Ardern Luxon couldn't care less what kiwis think.
Especially when he was elected he would listen to the people
History tells us that this hearings on the Treaty Principles Bill will be like most official hearings/inquiries: the final outcome is already decided. The truth is, is that this hearing is merely window-dressing.
But unlike most issues, the country has felt very strongly about this one and it seems action is necessary, one way or another.
so, whats the outcome?
It is a great shame that New Zealanders cannot obtain unbiased reports from both Press and TVNZ Regarding what is happening at these Treaty of Waitangi hearings.
I agree, Nzers should have a fair and unbiased news option should they want to see it
I met James when we delivered a submission about midwives at parliament. Good man James :)
thank s so much Shawn and micheaL AND All you guys on the platform for dealing to the woke and exposing serious shite
Oh well, we will just have to vote according what parties support equality in law,bye nats and nz first along with the lefty idiots who were in charge.
intelligent young man
A 'Poferry'😂😂 excellent
The Spinoff hit rock bottom with their coverage
I would love to see the National list. Has it been published?
Can I start by wishing you a happy new year ! Sucking up from the get go. "Hobsons Choice" We were always intending inviting them along. This guy is so full of it he makes the Labour party look like beginners all by himself.
So grateful for the platform and your fair coverage on this issue, thank you, Can James please justify why he is not voting for the treaty principles bill when 4/5 national voters are wanting at least a referendum on treaty principles bill? You cannot represent us by going against us, we the people you serve. You need to hear from every taxpayer who wants to be heard, anything less is preferential treatment.
Great to hear Pleasant Point is making some news. Don't tell Aucklanders how great South Canterbury and the Mackenize are ...
NZ Herald: 7 Apr, 2013 05:30 AM = (part way through the article) Te Roroa spokesman Will Ngakuru represented the iwi on a multi-agency kauri dieback team that included councils and government. He said Waipoua may have been a launchpad for kauri dieback disease after infected seedlings raised in the New Zealand Forestry Service nurseries between the 1940s and 1960s were distributed to other forests. It was possible PTA entered the forest after World War II when the army brought contaminated machinery from the Pacific Islands. I remember being told this when I was on a tour up north about 8 yrs ago. We had to wash / disinfect our shoes , feet before we went into the forest and when we came out. So the narrative has now changed???
Minto is the guy in a ‘drive-by’ that watches the road.
We ALL have Treaties with the Crown which specifically enshrine Equal Rights, Advantages and Privileges for ALL subjects.
The Crown was a "Treaty Partner" (to utilise woke terminology) with many other "Treaty Parties" well before Maori were added as English subjects in the Maori version of the 1840 Treaty of Waitangi.
These Treaties include the 1215 Magna Carta, the 1267 Treaty of Montgomery (Wales), the 1706 Treaty of Union (Scotland) and the 1800 Treaty of Union (Ireland), and their respective enactments. The "Treaty of Waitangi" is actually the 1840 Treaty of Union (New Zealand).
In 1840 the "Crown" was already a "Partnership" with several "First Nations Partners" - ie. the Crown of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. The Union Flag was specifically created by Article 1 of the 1706 Treaty of Union to represent the Union of "Treaty Parties". The 1840 Treaty of Waitangi was specifically signed over the Union Flag to represent this.
This is like a going concern which has several existing partners, taking on another partner and absorbing their concern into a greater whole - with each partner being on an exactly equal footing.
Article 1 of the 1707 Act of Union (Scotland) states; "That the two Kingdoms of Scotland and England, shall, upon the first Day of May next ensuing the Date hereof, and for ever after, be united into one Kingdom by the Name of Great-Britain, and that the Ensigns Armorial of the said united Kingdom, be such as her Majesty shall appoint; and the Crosses of St. Andrew and St. George be conjoined in such a manner as her Majesty shall think fit, and used in all Flags, Banners, Standards, and Ensigns, both at Sea and Land."
Several Articles of these Treaties require that all citizens have equal rights, advantages and privileges and that no new party added should be given exclusive ones. For example, Article 4 of the 1707 Act of Union (Scotland) states; "That all the Subjects of the united Kingdom of Great-Britain shall, from and after the Union, have full Freedom and Intercourse of Trade and Navigation, to and from any Port or Place within the said united Kingdom, and the Dominions and Plantations thereunto belonging; and that there be a Communication of all other Rights, Privileges, and Advantages, which do or may belong to the Subjects of either Kingdom, except where it is otherwise expressly agreed in these Articles."
Also for Example, Article 6 of the 1801 Act of Union (Ireland) states; "That it be the sixth article of union, that his Majesty’s subjects of Great Britain and Ireland shall, from and after the first day of January, one thousand eight hundred and one, be entitled to the same privileges, and be on the same footing as to encouragements and bounties on the like articles, being the growth, produce, or manufacture of either country respectively, and generally in respect of trade and navigation in all ports and places in the united kingdom and its dependencies; and that in all treaties made by his Majesty, his heirs, and successors, with any foreign power, his Majesty’s subjects of Ireland shall have the same privileges, and be on the same footing as his Majesty’s subjects of Great Britain."
As above, these Treaties bound, and continue to bind, the Crown and all of its successors, such as the "Crown of New Zealand". Several legal precedents have been made dating back to at least the Union of the Crowns of England and Scotland in 1603 confirming that subjects under the Crown must be treated equally. This includes Calvin's Case (1608), 77 ER 377, (1608) Co Rep 1a, also known as the Case of the Postnati.
The Crown cannot even begin to envision unequally restricting, or granting more, Rights, Advantages and Privileges of one or more "Treaty Parties" without being in breach of these Treaties. However, the Crown has increasingly been acting in breach of these Treaties and needs to immediately honour them.
For example, Article 25 of the 1707 Act of Union (Scotland) states; "That all Laws and Statutes in either Kingdom, so far as they are contrary to, or inconsistent with the Terms of these Articles, or any of them, shall, from and after the Union, cease, and become void, and shall be so declared to be, by the respective Parliaments of the said Kingdoms."
The pre and post 1840 "Treaty Parties" who have equal Rights, Advantages and Privileges within the Crown of New Zealand include English, Welsh, Scottish, Irish, Australian, Dutch, French, Moriori, Maori, and subjects of the Realm of New Zealand. The Crown has no doubt learnt its lesson when historically trying to breach the rights of some of these subjects.
Rather than the "Treaty" situation being like two halves of an apple (ie the Crown and Maori), the real situation is like an orange, wherein each of the segments represent the numerous equal "Treaty Partners" and the protective and encapsulating skin represents the Crown. The only question is how much power the "Crown" has (ie. how thick is the skin of the orange) but each "First Nation" "Treaty Partner" segment is identical.
This does not in any way reduce the "Treaty Rights" of any one "Treaty Partner". It simply extends them to all. The Crown is the only one who can lose rights, or conversely have more rights granted to it by the people - as long as those affect all equally.
New "communities" can be envisioned as the new growth segments between the original segments (as in an orange) but always within the protective skin of the "Crown" and its powers. In fact, the segments near the centre of the orange have become fused together as populations merge and therefore subjects usually have more than one treaty in their lineage.
In fact it is these earlier Treaties, for example Article 2 of the 1706 Treaty of Union (Scotland) which specifically defines the "Crown" and who exactly reigns and succeeded as the sovereign. If these earlier treaties are breached by the "Crown", tried to be ignored by "Treaty Deniers", or an attempt made to try and undermine or demote their relative importance by "Treaty Bigots", then the legitimacy of the current monarchs themselves would be jeopardised (and the Monarch over the Water - ie the Stuart dynasty, would therefore need to be re-established).
There can be no apartheid under these Treaties and the time has come to honour them equally.
Well done Lew!. Keep in mind that Maori racist-nationalists want their own separate administration. When the ToW was signed in 1840, and 99 percent of the population was native and tribalised, 'tino rangatiratanga' was a self evident fact. But 185 years later, after much inter-tribal and inter-ethnic/cultural mixing, it is a practical nonsense. You might ask 'why, after such a long period of time has no effective pan-Maori administration developed'?..
@@geofflewis8599 Yes - there are no "maori" remaining - they are all technically euronesians with majority european ancestry. For example Willie "20 cent" Jackson is a half european, one third chinese and only one fifth maori descent. The ToW was just another of many Treaties of Union with equal rights, privileges and advantages - which is the most simple and elegant solution to counter those trying to demand "special" rights.
Holy Guacamole!!! I hope you put this in a submission!
@@lewtscott3346 ..and the real evil in 7aa is that many of the 'Maori' children who were removed from their drink, drugs and crime-soaked whanau, in order to satisfy the wants of racist-nationalists, were also mostly white NZrs - and the enormous cultural background that goes with that ie, Archimedes, Plato, Seneca, Locke, Newton , Shakespeare etc is completely ignored..
@@lewtscott3346You can have one drop of Maori blood to be Maori if you so choose to research your whakapapa.
The apology to HP was too late the shite about how they missed the deadline was already spread around by maori they jumped on it like dogs
James M for PM?

We live in your mind rent free
Making money from Maori like usual
Why can't Maori make their own money?
Ole Flunkett the White Ring Kracker lol. Get ready for change Kracker, because a change is coming!
Yes a change back to the 70's before the racist brownwash and lies of history left up to crooks to mess with, using a fraud Treaty document, back translating the Treaty, making up principles that were not there, ignoring the Original English Treaty when found in 1989, not acknowledging the tChiefs speeches of Kohimarama 1860 and starting political strife all dishonouring those principles. You ve been exposed
Kracker? Why call him that, are you a shit skin?
The racist platform
😂🙌🎊🎉
