Cut the guts out of greed

In response to B Johnson's letter in last week's edition (The Weekend Sun, May 19, 2017).

Maori exceeding the fishing quotas while using customary fishing licenses shown on ‘Coastwatch' has nothing to do with the post-colonial education system. It is just sheer greed and ignorance, and as we all know that is in every race. As for Manu Paul's promise, well let's just say I have heard too many promises lately. It can hardly be believed when a local farm run by Kahu Ma Farms /Tirohanga Farms plead guilty to dumping effluent into the sea.

We have an election coming up with the two major parties once again cosying up to the self-annexed Maori for votes. This current government says it can't afford the pension while paying out billions over the years to keep themselves in power by attempting to give water rights and coastal rights to this self-annexed group. Then if that is not enough, the Labour Party is also courting this extreme group who are intently holding themselves and the country back because they can get it given to them without too much hard work.

There is only one party who is putting New Zealand First. They say they wish to cut back on immigration and look after the elderly while standing up to Maori and the Hollywood-styled media. These promises I can believe more than the other parties only because the other parties have made promises for years and broke them. For a country that still owes $134 billion overseas, it needs a change in the other direction, away from those who have held the reins of destruction and enforced greed and ignorance in our society – a total risk-taking change for all Kiwis to have a chance to be happy and looked after educationally, health-wise, financially, and in retirement. Cut the guts out of greed and the opulent ideals of a few.

R Stewart, Te Puke.
