Former National MP slams ACt, radical treaty plan

[Lilith7]

Chris Finlayson is not a happy camper; the former minister for Treaty of Waitangi negotiations & attorney general agrees with political commentator Mathew Hooton.

You really have to wonder about David Seymour's motivation.

"Chris Finlayson, the former minister for Treaty of Waitangi negotiations and attorney-general, and political commentator Matthew Hooton agree on one point - the National-led Government should not support the Act PartyÔÇÖs Treaty referendum.
Finlayson, who held those key portfolios under former National Party leader Sir John Key, and┬áNZ Herald┬ácolumnist Hooton, a political analyst and advisor, said the Act PartyÔÇÖs desire for a referendum would derail years of good faith bargaining and empower weirdos.

"It will bring out of the woodwork the sort of people who used to write to me and say, ÔÇÿwhy donÔÇÖt you get cancer?ÔÇÖ, ÔÇÿhow dare you give property rights to people above their stationÔÇÖ or, as sometimes even happens now walking along Lambton Quay, someone will call me a ÔÇÿM─üori-loving c***ÔÇÖ," Finlayson told current affairs host┬áMoana Maniapoto on┬áTe Ao with Moana."
