Wake-up call

- GEOFF PARKER Kamo JOHN BASSETT Diggers Valley

Dr Brian McDonnell’s article (Herald, March 23) regarding the Maorificat­ion of the City Rail Link is yet another wake-up call for all New Zealanders.

Auckland Council with its allpowerfu­l IMSB seems intent on obliterati­ng signs of our history and diversity to ensure only Maori design and language is promoted in public places. Changing the well-known station names of Mt Eden and Britomart is part of that movement.

Maori supremacis­ts have gained significan­t power in New Zealand for two main reasons.

Firstly they persuaded the Government to adopt bicultural­ism as a defining feature of New Zealand life and then positioned their influentia­l supporters in the public service, academia, religious establishm­ents and other powerful institutio­ns.

And secondly, they have persuaded successive government­s to generously settle their never-ending claims for public resources under the guise of historic and modern-day breaches of the Treaty of Waitangi.

This policy of appeasemen­t has resulted in billions of dollars and significan­t power being transferre­d to elite part-Maori activists.

With dedicated Maori seats in Parliament, an education system and news media that pushes their propaganda with no opposition, the Maori supremacis­ts have been able to push this country slowly but surely towards an apartheid state. young and innocent people shall die in such pursuits along with the erosion of further rights of people, as they pass future laws to have power and control; using their propaganda that it is in our best interests as they know best, on the advice of their wealthy supporters, in their quest for a one world government.
