Sorry I havent gotten back to you befor...Hi Marty,<br /><br />Sorry I havent gotten back to you before.<br /><br />But the fact is, that there are numerous examples of Maori restricting access to conservation land when it has been passed to them in treaty settlements, and I really feel that this is the wrong way to settle greivances. <br /><br />All New Zealanders, regardless of colour are able to enjoy the National Park system, whether it be hunting, fishing, photography, tramping, or just a picnic during one's lunch break. In a time when obesity statistics are tracking upwards, the recrational oppurtunites on offer in our national parks are needed more then ever. But once the title of that park, passes into Tuhoe hands, it will be lost to New Zealand forever, and we will have to go betting to the iwi elite to even take a photo.<br /><br />You must realise, Marty, that the men who head the iwi are just as greedy and capitalistic as the white man. And they are forming an unholy alliance with the the extremists (you know, those who want to charge white people rent for living here), to lock people out of their own country.<br /><br />Privatisation is privatisation, no matter what you try and dress it up as.<br /><br />MillsyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7340901893892759228.post-834401833103037502010-05-12T18:53:20.412+12:002010-05-12T18:53:20.412+12:00Ok.

Collective ownership is the opposite of individual ownership therefore you should embrace it.<br /><br />I believe tuhoe when they say "universal rights and access" - I can think of many, many instances where the government has lied and broken promises to maori - can't think of any broken promises the other way.<br /><br />It was stolen give it back. Tuhoe will protect the land and ecosystems a lot better than DOC, if they get the resources.<br /><br />And as for kiwi recreational activities millsy - are maori allowed to participate too?<br /><br />Apart from that - I enjoy your comments and attitude (about many things) kia kahaMarty Marshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07434142404949696557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7340901893892759228.post-72711744586507198832010-05-11T20:31:45.942+12:002010-05-11T20:31:45.942+12:00No disrespect, Marty, but the Urerewa National Par...No disrespect, Marty, but the Urerewa National Park needs to be kept in crown hands for ALL New Zealand, not just a priviliged iwi few. I am not being racist here. I am being anti privatisation.<br /><br />Tuhoe's promise about preserved access means nothing. Look at Mt Tawawera. That area is a national treasure and must remain in public hands no matter how much the Maori Party and their mates scream. I really get sick of you people trying to stamp all over the kiwi recreational traditions.<br /><br />MillsyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7340901893892759228.post-74730441781183875912010-05-11T10:24:17.187+12:002010-05-11T10:24:17.187+12:00Kia kaha Tuhoe!
