The Maori Party are right.. Hence the Maori Party.

The Maori Party say most New Zealanders want to repeal the Foreshore and Seabed Act.
The Act that preserves the foreshore and seabed in perpetuity as the common heritage of all New Zealanders.
They say it takes away their customary rights and ownership of the Seabed and Foreshore.
The Act also takes away their right to go to court.
If we like it or not the Maori Party is right. Under the Treaty of Waitangi the Queen of England confirms and guarantees to the Chiefs and Tribes of New Zealand and to respective families and individuals thereof the full exclusive and undisturbed possession of their Lands and Estates Forests Fisheries and other properties which they may collectively or individually possess so long as it is their wish and desire to retain the same in their possession.
Maori have never desired the wish for their Seabed and Foreshore rights to be given away.
The Seabed and Foreshore Act stole it from them. Then preserved the Foreshore and Seabed in perpetuity as common heritage of all New Zealanders. By doing so the Labour Government broke the Treaty of Waitangi Queens guarantee to Maori of full exclusive and undisturbed possession.
If we don't like the Treaty of Waitangi and its implications then maybe we should consider a written constitution for all New Zealanders.
