Mr.Opinion,

I think it much more likely that our politicians will continue to get more the CCP than the CCP actually taking us over.

No probs in Australia because the Chinese will look after us.
Mr Opinion,
They won't put flowers on our graves, they'll bulldoze our cemeteries if anything.

Hi Joe and Indy,

The problem of compensation under the public Works act came down to "legal title". In the case of the Northern rail line a corridor 40m wide was taken, as well as land for bridges etc. Pakeha farmers who could show legal title were compensated, where as Maori land was untitled, being passed down from father to son, and was treated as crown land. Also several large stone quarries for rail ballast were made use of without compensation. in one case Maori farmers were milking 150 cows, because of quarrying and environmental degradation, something that was never considered back in the day, that number was reduced to 60 and it never recovered. The line is now out of service.

Yes Indy, several people spoke of the benefits the railway in particular had brought to the area. It was said that in negotiations that benefit factor had to be taken into consideration.

Paul1405,
it just so happened that I anchored next to a yacht skippered by a part-Maori (his description of himself) & we talked about the terrorist attacks in London & Christchurch. He reckons the Maoris won't take that crap for a moment if they feel targeted !
Judging by his sentiments, Australians could learn something from them.

*...Another Islamic terror attack with stabbings near London Bridge reported today. PC police have admitted that it was a terror attack, and the terrorist was shot by police at the scene...* Ttbn.

Now Muslims have really got something to worry about.

That was an extrajudicial killing. What next, forced disappearances?

Democracy died today in the U.K.

good to see toxic males coming to the rescue.
