Maori's Views on .....

Iwi views on foreshore and seabed put to UN forum

1 August 2007

The Treaty Tribes Coalition is confident a UN Committee on eliminating racial discrimination will make recommendations against the Government's Foreshore and Seabed Act.

Members of the Coalition, which represents Hauraki, Ngati Kahungunu, Ngai Tamanuhiri and Ngai Tahu, along with the Te Whanau a Apanui, the Maori Party and Non-Government Organisations from Aotearoa, presented their views to the Committee in Geneva, Switzerland, early this morning (New Zealand time).

Ngahiwi Tomoana, the Chairman of Ngati Kahungunu, said the Maori representatives briefed the committee about Maori concerns over the New Zealand Government's actions regarding customary title to the foreshore and seabed. "We have successfully assisted the Committee to identify key issues affecting Maori in Aotearoa New Zealand. Te Reo Maori was spoken in the UN and our karanga was heard," Mr Tomoana said.

The Committee is made up of world renowned experts, and is the specialist body of the United Nations on preventing racial discrimination and promoting racial equality. In 2005, it found the Foreshore and Seabed Act to discriminate against Maori.

The New Zealand Government's presentation to the committee followed the presentation from Treaty Tribes and other groups.

Mr Tomoana said that when the Committee began to examine New Zealand, members urged the Government to recognise that special measures targeting Maori and other ethnic communities were not pampering to Maori, rather they were part of the duty of the State to ensure equality.

"We expect the committee will be critical of New Zealand's failure to follow their recommendations in 2005. It will be up to the public of New Zealand to hold them to account and see that they do follow-up on the recommendations," he said.

The Committee also called the Government to account on:
Responses to the Committee's recommendation that the Foreshore and Seabed Act be amended;
The legal status and political treatment of the Treaty of Waitangi;
The adequacy of Treaty settlements as redress for historical wrongs, on the basis that Treaty settlements amount to approximately 1-2% of the actual loss suffered by Maori;
The recent review of programmes targeted to Maori, and appeared concerned that programmes were being reduced rather than strengthened.

Know What Your Doing.

I feel people are calling for an opinion: if not, turn away now! If you've seen the news about abuse namely in Rotorua NZ of late, you will notice that in a huge area that inspired the book by Alan Duff 'Once Were Warriors', most if not nearly all the people in positions of power making policy and support are white, unbelievable!!!!! open 'ya fucking eyes, racists.

I hate reverse racists too and there are many(and they don't seem to recognise either) it's called abuse and real ignorance but I am not surprised.

oh and ban Microsoft or ignore them but how will you if they sell 'your future' to the military as they wish to make everything technological including education(Kids, isn't that brainwashing as they say on the news while advertising corporations bias? I am always surprised at young people who are willing to give away basic civil liberties that keep us free, as they don't know or have not experienced what they are, isn't that misinformation by not telling the whole truth as the PM might say? Do you think they made their money off you!? or the armies who fight and support each other in Iraq and so on... which is based on a lie!(and you don't accept that in personal relationships but international governmental weapons trading that kills millions is fine), excuse me. They called Ghandhi a terrorist, like I've said they keep moving the goal posts and the only way to stop it is to stop playing by choice, doesn't mean you still don't have choices,it's the same game so get a new one capiche and get real for fucks suck by being prepared like you are when you go on hoilday etc etc etc
Words and paper remain strong and communication can remain free, in cyberspace it is always under scrutiny, always and who is watching the watchers? you don't need to watch if you don't hand them or accept their power positioning they choose at our expense.

Things are gonna change, I don't know how yet but they will!! and not giving mandate by not voting might be a start but if you think that's where I end then your wrong; and I am fully aware of my use or abuse by the enemy by proxy, meaning we all are not yet 'free'.

Chaos is modern capitalism not peace and freedom, make sure the doctor checks ya hearing.
