Brian Tamaki is now allowed at Auckland domain but banned from attending any protest & a new condition has been added banning him from speaking at any gatherings, & prohibited from using the internet to incite non compliance.
Seems reasonable enough, given his past behaviour.

How  fascinating; no doubt Maori were against the Anglification of their country back in the day too.

poor governance 
their immigration policy was shit
the border leaked like a sieve.
gun control laws out the window
it was never going to end well

How Un-New Zealand of you. I suppose you think the Maoris should go back to their own country?

[Magoo]

maori held full and legal title to this land when my ancestors landed.

while the maori were a formidable warrior people, they met a well oiled colonising machine..
well armed, well organised and well capitalised.
that the maori got a treaty at all was somewhat removed from our usual m.o.
at no time did we ever intend to honour it.
we continue to reap what was sown.

but what the hey
my ancestors were colonised multiple times and never sought redress from our occupiers.
the vikings, the french, the romans, the hun, the normans and today by the middle east.
we thought those were the rules. we may have let those europeans off a tad too lightly im thinking.
in fact, im going to get an invoice together right now.

Well good luck with that one, Magoo. Perhaps there might be some compensation from the descendants of those responsible for the Highland clearances too, with any sort of luck.

[Magoo]

a great great etc uncle was killed in naki with von temsky
ive never recovered from this loss'
i demand redress by way of chocolate.
a couple of blocks of whitakers would probly cover it.

well they did come here from somewhere else just like all other people so why not

they didnt just 'come here', they claimed and settled it.  big difference.'

bit like christopher columbus 'discovered' america.
the fact there were 200,000 0eople already living there it wasnt all that great of a discovery.

so what, they were colonised by a larger force just like maori did to each other they are lucky they wernt all killed, like they did to their enemy's they arnt special and dont deserve any special treatment nowdays

[Magoo]

nobody wants special treatment.
honour the treaty. how is that wrong?

previously it only worked for the coloniser.

You have my sincere sympathy for your obviously very poor education.   To get you started in what I hope will be an inspiring journey of discovery here's a handy link.  Enjoy!
