A much better approach for all than Hulun's churlish legislate in haste.

That was a poor decision that has come back to haunt us. If we had case law from the privy council things might be a little different now.

Maori should have been allowed their day in court to prove their customary rights.

"Maori should have been allowed their day in court to prove their customary rights."
I absolutely do agree with you there, paranormal.

I agree with you too, paranormal. Property rights and other rights akin to them are a fundamental part of NZ society, Maori should have been allowed their day in court to determine their rights.

We are in agreement then, gentlemen.
Excellent.
Next, we have to get National and Act to understand this.
It won't be easy, they are befuddled by greed.

Now you're off track RG. I think you will find Act was the only party that voted against the Foreshore and Seabed legislation in favour of allowing Maori their day in court.

That was years ago, paranormal, back when ACT retained some credibility.
I dread to think what John Banks would do in the same circumstances as ACT did when the F&SA went through. To be fair, he probably would have done whatever he was told to do.

Yes, para - that was then and this is now. Very different times altogether.
