History repeats but hysteria increases
0
Did you know that in 2006 the entire Labour Party caucus voted at first reading for a bill that would delete all references to the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi in legislation. They did this as part of a coalition agreement. Sound familiar?
Yet in 2006 you didn’t have the usual suspects declaring it as genocide and such a threat to New Zealand that it is repugnant to even allow the public a say on the issue. You didn’t have editorials demanding the bill not even be debated.
Here’s some of the MPs who voted for the bill in 2006:
- Helen Clark
- Phil Goff
- David Cunliffe
- Steve Maharey
- Annette King
- Chris Carter
- Marian Hobbs
- Damien O’Connor
- Parekura Horomia
- Nanaia Mahuta
- Michael Cullen
- Margaret Wilson
- Maryan Street
- David Parker
- Sue Moroney
- Darien Fenton
How many of these people are today condemning the current Government for doing exactly what they did in 2006?
