SENSIBLE JUDGEMENT

 

The High Court decision dumping on the application by the Maori Council and Tainui for a declaration that, in essence, would have it that Maori own the 'rain; is a victory for common sense and, more importantly, reaffirms the primacy of Parliament.     

 

National was elected on the back of a specific promise to partially privatise selected assets as a means of reducing debt and funding improvements to infrastructure.   

 

It is a sensible policy recognising that those who would have it that the way forward is to print money are in la la land.

 

Let the process now proceed apace.  I for one will be investing in Mighty River Power.

 

The rage from the dark side of politics is acknowledged.   I refer them to one of their own who said [famously] "we won, you lost, eat that".   

 

The so called Maori Council and Tainui at the behest of their clown King need to takae a long hard look at themselves.    Their cargo cult mentality is holding back Maoridom and does them no credit.
