I am sickend by the fact that they are getting advice from corporate crooks setting them up for failure and loss of our assets and extinguishment of our tipuna rights.<br />Running parallel with these issues is the drive by iwi leaders forum to engage in constitutional change. Constitutional change means a corporate takeover by banks and other market predators. The Treaty and He Whakaputanga protect our rights which we will not have under a new constitution which involves global governance or a single economic market. The rights of Maori will be marginalised like any minority group in where they have no mana in any global governance regime.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
