PelancongNice description Alison. Really pleased that you are getting out and about. You are irrepressible. I understand that there are conflicting interpretations of some of the wording of the treaty. The settlers maintain that the treaty ‘cedes’ Māori land the Māoris understanding of the wording is that the land is to be ‘shared’. Make of that what you will!
PelancongThey seem to have their own Nigel Farage who is moving to make changes to the treaty. All causing lots of acrimony.
PelancongSounds really interesting. Glad you are having some quieter time as well
Hi guys.. Good to see you up and running 👍 We’ve requested to follow you, waiting for your acceptance. NZ is waiting for you 😂 [Col and Pam 😀]
