ACT's bottom line for a long overdue conversation amongst adults. One without the screaming skulls yelling "Racist" to those whom might dare to inquire / discuss regarding such constitutional matters. (Are you listening, Mr newly minted leader? )
Matters which should have been openly and transparently discussed under the previous governments but were well hidden from view and implemented under the cover of urgency. The 1975-ish rogue ToW that requires intense scrutiny along with the enablers.
Seymour has campaigned on ending co-governance and a radical re-think of the Treaty of Waitangi, which he thinks should go to the country in a referendum. “It’s something that I think has to happen for New Zealand"
And right on cue, the Greens leader makes threats for unrest.
If that happens, you will see wide scale social disruption - it could lead to violence
As expected, a screaming skull threatens the bash if this third rail is touched. "Once were warriors" - it is strong in their genes.
Te Pāti Māori president John Tamihere, also speaking on the Tova podcast, warned of civil disobedience which could shut down cities and major centres if a referendum on the Treaty went ahead.
“You don't unwind 30 years of hard won incremental treaty jurisprudence overnight with a tyranny of the majority,” he said.
“There will be significant civil unrest and we don't, nor should, any leader take us down that track.”
If Māori were backed into a corner on the issue they would have to resort to protest, he said.
“That protest will be significant, as it should be ... there will be days of national Māori action and they'll close down Whangarei, Auckland, Tauranga, Hamilton, Wellington.”
Thought that would be the reaction. Bring it on!
