The Spanish got it right. When they conquered the Aztecs and the Incas, they didn't give the natives any special rights, enter into any treaties with them, or give them reservation lands. Instead, the Spanish gave the natives a simple choice: Assimilate or die. What the British did with the Treaty of Waitangi (proving the truth of the adage, "No good deed goes unpunished") was create a permanent class of insular, unassimilated, and resentful Marxists who cannot (or refuse to) function in modern-day society.

I hope my fellow kiwis will actually reward David's efforts to give us all a say by actually sending in a submission. If you don't know how, comment below and I'm happy to talk you through it. Funny enough, I'm not an ACT voter but the only other time I've ever felt passionate about actually bothering to send in a select committee submission was also for a David Seymour-sponsored Bill
@Si-vq5wg Says:
The treaty has just become an ageless cow that the Maori Party will continue to milk as long as they live.They will never be satisfied with anything but owning all the land and running the country themselves.Too many loud mouth scribble faced trouble makers in that lot, with no intention of ever getting on with anybody with white skin.

So how come our Anzac counterparts treat Kiwis like immigrants, if we immigrate to Australia are we afforded equal rights, a fair say in the politics of Australia? The answer is NO we don't, worry about your own politicians and keep your opinion out of a subject you know absolutely nothing about, Fking Aussies 🤨🖕
@KalNaptan Says:
How it works, when treaty is signed, as they had no choice as it was time of invading countries by an other,they went for the the best choice to ask for equal rights not to destroyed when most of others countries experienced. However when the world emerged as more civil disciplined society the democracy appeared. By the time som many people have migrated and world had become globalised. So when that happend no body cannot say Democracy doesn’t work, Equal rights doesn’t work, Division is working based on ancestry, we are are the owners of land now.
Its like when u business do not work give the business to someone who can do and after sometime if the board thinks that chairman distorting the company they will fire the chairman. Whats wrong with it. Becos so many employees rely on the business.

That’s bs bolty you’ve got no idea! It’s an agreement that Maori maintain sovereignty! Maori DONT have more of a say never have otherwise they’d be running the country which they don’t do shut the fuck up you know nothing about NZ politics dickhead!
@terryurlich9419 Says:
You don't know what you're talking about. The haka is a challenge as you should know for example when the All Blacks meet your Kangaroos before the beginning of the game. Of course the haka would seem to be threatening that's the purpose of it to put the fear of God to your opposing force. What Seymour is talking about is a document signed by his ancestors and the Chiefs of the land. The question that Seymour should be answering is the inclusion of ethnic inclusion in the Treaty of Waitangi by implementing his recommendations and changes to a founding document should only be of status equal to the Chiefs that signed the Treaty of Waitangi how does he propose to do that ethnically

@alt-native Says:
A Civil dialogue- British Crown "We going to screw you over through bureaucracy and military force, now stay calm and touch the table". Had the British come in peace and proper trade and discussions taken place, Aotearoa would be a lot different, but then again look at the rest of the colonised countries having the same problems.
@johnnyrarere Says:
Maori are the First Nations people...Do you want us to be unrecognised as such...of course 83% of the population will not have a Cultural say over every aspect of the Country ...because duhhhh...83% are not Indigenous
@carlmark1013 Says:
The treaty gives the crown the authority to govern in NZ. Without the treaty the crown doesn't have the right to govern anyone in NZ.
The treaty also protects maori pre existing rights before the treaty was signed. This is the biggest problem Act has with the treaty because this gives resource rights and Act don't like that..
@alt-native Says:
I think back to when the British first arrived, and entitled themselves to being first class citizens. That the pendulum swings back should only be expected. I have cousins that have lost land to the Crown due to economic reasons that they wont benefit from but rich overseas investors. This is part of our great Karma, people are experiencing that which their ancestors provoked unto others, and are as confused about why as their forefathers. But this stinks of globalist intentions.
@FelixTweezer Says:
Thanks for covering this Australia. Most kiwis are so sick of race politics and Māori getting special treatment.
@IanG2120 Says:
Dear everyone on this article and everyone on Sky News Australia respectfully I would ask you to go to multiple sources and look at the crowds who turned up to this protest. Andrew Bolt and his production team have played a shell game by talking about an issue and showing pictures that were taken earlier in the day and didn't reflect the truth. It is dishonest reporting. The crowd was estimated at anywhere between 30 000 and 60000.Our Police put the crowd at 42000 so lets take it as accurate of all those there was 1 arrest,ONE. This was a peaceful protest by Maori and Pakeha joined by many other of our diverse population this is the very idea of a democracy for Mr Bolt to say it was not is a gross lie and he knew his words were a lie because he exactly referenced the official numbers all the while trying to tell you it was an empty space in front of parliament.
The protest in parliament was by democratically elected MPs and our standing orders allow for Haka and waiata to be performed. Consider you can't always make a legitimate protest when the mechanisms are against you our Speaker repeatedly blocked points of order. It's also worth pointing out that David Seymour who claims to be a free speech advocate was the first to complain about those politicians using their free speech to protest.
Also please note that no two democracies work alike . Australia took the decision to draft a formal constitution on Federation we in NZ used and continue to use the Treaty of Waitangi as our foundation and added the Waitangi Tribunal to clarify and help interpret the application of that document we have used juris prudence to determine the law. Also if you are to believe Mr Bolt there should be 1 person 1 vote but not on matters of law it is up to the judiciary to determine. Australia does not have 1 person 1 vote Tasmanians have different rights from New South Welsh men and Queenslanders and cast votes at state and federal level. We have MMP and some of your stares use STV. We are both democracies but we go about it differently.
At 4:10 David Seymour referenced the fact that MPs are in the house to represent the voices of the people and yet what he doesn't say anything about is that he was challenged by Chloe Swarbrick to, if he believed that, put it to a conscience vote instead of those on the government benches being whipped to vote in blocks. I put it to you that he didn't because he knows it would have been defeated at first reading.Yet he didn't have the courage of his conviction to go with that option. He has the nerve to reference those who think the rules should not apply to them. 5:29 more disingenuousness by Bolt and by Seymour. Look at the pictures 15000 is a lie spun out to dismiss the protest itself. Finally at 7:23 he decries self appointed experts and yet he drafted this Bill by cherry picking segments, actual edited down sentences from the treaty to form segments that he has then interpreted in a way that has no connection to The Treaty to alter it in ways that not one expert or body has affirmed as accurate or fair . And he has done so without consulting the other party to the treaty.
Thanks for reading this to the end and hope that I have given everyone something to think about.
@amandstunts Says:
@skynewsaustralia removing all the fact checking comments. Like the NZ police website that says "Wellington District Commander Superintendent Corrie Parnell says by mid-afternoon the number of people gathered at the Parliamentary precinct and in the surrounding streets had grown to approximately 42,000."
@West-zv1cp Says:
No your nuts it's about Maori equal rights YOU and David Seymour are taking it awayunder the guise of equal rights St
Classic white imperial tactic😢is rights what a f****** Joke.
David Seymour is a polariser using the race card to game political ignition.
The protest received 200,000 sign petitions more than all the votes David Seymour ever got in the election.
His racist Bill will not pass.
He f***** around and found out.
David even came out and stood in front of the protests
before he was told to f*** off by the crowd.
@bigmunnywalt Says:
So confused, idk what’s going on. The Aussies don’t it make clear, at least not to me….anyone up for giving a breakdown?
@WillBloodfarm Says:
The British crown made the document and the Maori signed it. It was never honoured by the crown, and now the crown wants to change it so it is essentially dissolved. This "take" on what is happening is offensive. Australia is hardly the nation to be commenting on race relations. You really have no idea what is at stake. Shame.
@LoganMuraahi Says:
I think this news site has know idea what new zealand is and what this country stands for, when Australia pretend that there indigenous people don't even exist 🤔, or just use them when it looks good for the international look.
@vakavanhavainamoinen2221 Says:
Of course the Australian government could invite the entire non-Maori population of New Zealand to move there and leave New Zealand to the Maoris. I would like to see they run the airlines (and the rest of the 21st century technology).

I can’t believe Skynews Australia is allowing people like this reporter to attack our indigenous community. New Zealand is a role model when it comes to the treatment of their indigenous people until this
Government came into power with white supremists like Seymour! Also, what right or logic do you have to make derogatory statements such as this living in a country that wiped out an entire indigenous race In Tasmania, not even mentioning other atrocities done to the poor people of that soil.
@blackline-qf6fl Says:
The Treaty been twisted to safeguard a multi billion dollar industry that's based upon race.
As has been said.. “When you’re accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression.”
The treaty is broken.. when one race of people have privilege over others.
