Rodney Hide's bill to define the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi was defeated last night.According to Stuff, Mr Hide wanted the principles to be legally defined as: That the Crown exercises sovereignty over Maori and non-Maori New Zealanders, that the Crown has a duty to uphold property rights, and that all New Zealanders have equal rights before the law.
Let's be clear on this. Labour, NZ First, The Greens, United Future and the Maori Party rejected these principles.
The Maori Party said it would not promote Maori interests.
Doesn't that say it all.

NZ First and United Future both deserve a kick up the backside. They are both led by immoral, power hungry fools who are dishonest. They both claim to be in the Opposition with certain principles but betray the principles to keep Labour in power. Shame on them and shame on the voters stupid enough to keep supporting them.
