Take a scroll down this timeline to see the depth of the treachery perpetrated by successive Labour and National governments upon the people of New Zealand.

Then ask yourself: "When's the surrender to the tribalists going to stop - and who's going to stop it??"

LABOUR / NATIONAL > ACTS OF SURRENDER

1974

MAORI AFFAIRS AMENDMENT ACT

* Definition of Maori changed to include people who are 99% European.

1975

TREATY OF WAITANGI ACT

* Waitangi Tribunal set up to hear historical grievances of Maori only.

* Allows "oral evidence" that claimants may invent to suit themselves.

* Ignores evidence that doesn't favour Maori.

1985

TREATY OF WAITANGI AMENDMENT ACT

* Tribunal empowered to hear claims back to 1840

1986

STATE-OWNED ENTERPRISES ACT

* Geoffrey Palmer invokes imaginary principles and inserts the line: "Nothing in this Act shall be inconsistent with the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi".

* Palmer gets Cabinet to insert the undefined principles in all future legislation.

ENVIRONMENT ACT

* Management of physical resources must have regard to principles of Treaty.

1987

ACTIVIST JUDGE ROBIN COOKE DEFINES TREATY PRINCIPLES.

* Cooke's principles say "The Treaty established a partnership".

* Cooke was wrong. As any lawyer knows, treaties have parties., not partners.

* Queen Victoria would hardly go into partnership with 600 cannibal warrior chiefs.

MAORI LANGUAGE ACT

* Maori made an official language of New Zealand.

* New Zealanders not consulted.

* (English is still not an official language of New Zealand.)

CONSERVATION ACT

* Conservation Boards must consult iwi on all management plans for fish and game.

1989

MISSING FINAL ENGLISH TREATY DRAFT FOUND.

* Then covered up by state historians.

* The draft was the document from which the Maori Tiriti was translated.

* It had been lost for 149 years, and no one knew what it said.

* Before 1989, there was only a flowery English version, very different from the Maori.

* The draft was found in the effects of Treaty-era lawyer, Henry Littlewood.

* Unlike flowery "Official" Treaty in English", the draft is a perfect match for Te Tiriti.

* Like Te Tiriti, the draft does not say the tribes owned forests and fisheries.

* It says Treaty is with "all people of New Zealand" (including settlers, not just Maori).

* Pro-Maori historian Claudia Orange was the first historian to see the draft.

* Orange's first comments were "this will be difficult politically" (at a time when the government were looking to surrender more and more of New Zealand to Maori).

* State historians still pretend the Littlewood is not the missing final draft, even though:

I) The document was dated 4 February1840, as all agreed the final draft had been.

2) It was in the handwriting of James Busby, who all agreed had penned it.

3) It was written on 1833-watermarked paper in stock in 1840.

* State historians took eleven years to verify the handwriting, and only because a citizen researcher found the acknowledgement in a National Arcives in-house newsletter.

* Orange did not even mention her discovery of the only Treaty-related document to emerge since 1840 in the updated edition of her supposedly definitive Treaty textbook.

* "Justice" Minister Geoffrey Palmer ignores Final English Draft.

* Then 4 months later publishes "Principles of Treaty of Waitangi".

* This was a fabrication - and should really be called "The Treaty of Wellington 1989".

* Palmer's imaginary principles do not derive from the Treaty of Waitangi 1840.

* The actual Treaty confers no special rights upon Maori.

* The actual Treaty mentions neither principles nor partnership - let alone a 50/50 one!

* If the actual Treaty had an overriding principle, it was equal rights for all Kiwis.

* And yet its Palmer's fake Principles that are now used when the state refers to Treaty.

* Claimant and Tribunal member Hugh Kawharu hired to redefine taonga, kawanatanga and rangatiratanga to suit Maori.

* 1820 Dictionary consultant Hongi Hika defined taonga as 'property procured by spear'.

* Kawharu redefined it to include anything Maori valued and wanted.

* Ngata defined kawanatanga as 'sovereignty'. Kawharu overruled Ngata.

* Kawharu redefined rangatiratanga from 'possession' to 'unqualified chieftainship'.
