And where did those millions of dollars come from? The Crown?

Excuse my ignorance, but if someone could enlighten me as to where this money came from that would be appreciated.

If any of it is from our tax... well lets not get started on that :groan:

You see... we have to pay for "crap like this" instead.



Uh.....

“This agreement is a great step forward for the treaty settlement process in the Auckland region, which represents around 20 percent of unresolved historical claims,” Mr Finlayson told the gathering.

20 percent???

Probably squatters rights.

As well as all that other crap?

Quite agree.

My daughter is a teacher. Don't get her started on lack of money for education. You'll never get away!

What I would like to know is, who pockets the millions? Nobody ever says who benefits from all the money. What has happened to all the maoris at the bottom of the pile who could do with a few thousand to improve their lot? They don't see any of it.

There should not be a poor maori left anywhere in the country. The taxpayer has paid billions to different maori tribes over the years but many maoris are just as badly off as they were before all this nonsense started.

Can someone explain where all these billions (not an exaggeration) have gone?

Can anyone point to any poor maori that has benefited from any of this extravagance? Doubt it.:mad:

As to the question, when will it end - there have been numerous "final payments." The real question is, which of the "final payments" is going to be the final payment?

Only the rich people get richer . Maori, Pakeha, Asian, whatever . The poor stays poor or even becomes poorer .

Always. Throughout history.

There was a certain family who spent several million buying a farm down here not too long ago. An enormous price.
She was the daughter? daughter-in-law? of a certain maori who owned some polytech in Auckland and became immensely rich from offering govt funded courses.

They bought up a number of other houses for workers also, then had fights with various staff, were going to import some form the Nth Island, then lost interest in the whole exercise and are currently flogging off everything.
At least one of the other houses they bought, they spent so much doing it up, now they sold it for bugger all.

Serves them right.


and then there are these people:
