M3AN 4015 Report post Posted August 21, 2015 Any of you heard of Orakei Korako? A piece of New Zealand wonderland that everybody could visit and enjoy... now the private domain of indigenous "royalty". I simply can't accept taking something everybody can enjoy and giving it to a limited few irregardless of (ancient) history. Dispossession is not fixed via dispossession. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kiwi328i 118 Report post Posted August 21, 2015 I am very proud of my Bimmersport brothers and sisters. Its articles like this that bring out the best and worst in us. Mostly the worst, because lets face it, news reporters like sending us up and this sounds pretty ripe. Its like a free for all, for over opinioned types, internet bashers and the like. We are pretty good. I mean, would such a claim have been whispered if John Key wasn't there, no camera crews, no reporters. No mainstream reporter gives a toss what happens down there, and to be fair its not even worth newspaper space either. Kiwi's need to be talking about collaborations. Many years ago the Crown claimed to have owned more land than what actually existed, obviously due to claiming ownership over more land than they actually owned. Greed I guess is a factor here, and over stretching ones political power. It's well documented. It's history and yeah it's not something to be proud of at all. But when you hear of all of these claims, and 'interests' I think it is going to come full circle and blow me down, I think at some stage soon Maori are going to be claiming more than what actually exists past or present!

rusteee 52 Report post Posted August 22, 2015 Wonder if it will be like the Taniwha, pay it $1,000,000,000 and it will magically disappear?? Well, until a new road needs to go in or upgrade the infrastructure of the existing where it lives, then it comes back with a higher 'disappearance' price tag attached. If I remember rightly, it was thrown out very early but they were even trying to go for the new 4G passing through the airways Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
