  1. But after they moved away from Opaki they raced it in March from memory mostly at Trentham and the odd time at Tauherenikau
  2. The Lowland is a Wairarapa race, it used to be run by the Masterton Racing Club.
  3. So, what are you saying then that the 3,000 acres gifted to the crown by the Iwi never occurred? The problem for you is that it does not fit you anti Māori narrative
  4. What has that got to do with it? The gifting of 3,000 acres in central Auckland highlights the Iwi's generosity and is embarrassing for the likes of you and Triple.
  5. Hey Triple I calculated what the 3,000 acres in Central Auckland gifted to the crown by the Iwi in 1840 may be worth in today's world. Ellerslie sold the hill (6.4hectares) for $160M. 3,000 acres is 190 times the size of the Ellerslie Hill. Therefore, based on the sale price of the hill the 3,000 acres would be worth $30.4 billion in today's terms.
  6. It is interesting to note Alf that the recently completed review of Rugby carried out for NZ Rugby was not commissioned until after the agreement with Silver Cloud was complete.
  7. I note that Auckland is considering changing their Anniversary Day to May as it was in May 1840 that the Iwi gifted 3,000 acres of Central Auckland land to the crown. I bet you did not want to know that Triple.
  8. You are getting desperate Triple quoting Racist Don Brash. His party was desperate after getting a toweling at the 2002 election. He took over from crooked Bill English and it was suggested to him from an Act party member that he should pull out the race card which he did. Then in no time National surged in the polls. Problem for Brash apart from being a "Rooter" was he became a buddy of the Brethren Church. The Catholic Church were OK for the voting public despite their truck load of Pedos but the Brethren's were unacceptable so Brash was sent packing for Puller Key.
  9. There are plenty around who hate Maoris. Just go into a bar that is frequented by white Baby Boomers and throw out something casual about Maoris. Within a couple of minutes, it will be full on Maori bashing. I am surprised that you have not experienced this.
  10. I am not stretching the Truth Triple the land was gifted after the 1855 earthquake under a deed of gift that it was to be used for horse racing. Stop Out Sports Club play there today but before that they played at Te Whiti Park which was taken by the Government during the second World War under the Public Works Act and of course has yet to be given back or the Iwi compensated for it. Same applies for Kapiti Airport and before that Iwi managed to retrieve Raglan Golf Course and Bastion Point. Muldoon had protestors arrested for trying to retrieve Bastion Point land taken under the Public Works Act. If your land was taken by the Government with no compensation you would rightly be up in arms. Keep hating the Maoris Triple. The Fact that they queued up to go to war for our country means nothing to you.
  11. Gee I did not think you that a racist like you would watching Triple due to the number of Maoris in the All Blacks. I also thought that you would be demanding for the haka to be performed in English.
  12. The amount that has paid out is settlements is around $2Billion plus which was probably the Cost of the Gully Road out of Wellington. Once the European's arrived they started taking land. Look at The Wellington settlement. Edwin Gibbon Wakefield was in prison when he organised it and as soon as landing, they were taking the Māori land. It was not the Maoris having their hand out. In 1855 The Maoris gifted Hutt Park for horse racing and they gifted a truck load of land to help the expansion of Auckland. The problem for baby Boomers was that they were taught the white man's version at school where land was sold for a handful of beads.
  13. You are a tough bugger Gruff but I do not see what that has to do with the demise of Rugby. I played one game of Rugby and never touched the ball apart from throwing it in as wingers in those days threw it in. I then played Football and realised that I could get involved as much as I like. There were no long stoppages for scrums (how bloody stupid are they) and throw ins when several line up and start yelling out codes. Then there are the rules which you require a degree to understand. Football now has two Sky Channels and Rugby only a part time channel. Rugby simply is no longer popular.
  14. I see that they have done a Rugby Review which highlights what we have been talking about on this forum. Rugby is as good as stuffed at Club, Provincial and Super levels and I question if it should be called our National Game anymore. Last Sunday I turned on to watch the kickoff of the Wellington v Canterbury game mainly because at the start of the game they show those in the crowd. There seemed to be only a few worn-out Baby Boomers watching the game. I wonder which will die first, the Baby Boomers or Rugby
  15. For a small party that sure have more than their share of crooked pricks. - Donna Awatere convicted of fraud and sentenced to two years. - David Garret used to be the spokesman for law-and-order pleaded guilty for fraud. - Rodney Hide the Perk Buster, the man who went around pointing out excess spending and MPs getting Perks. Then met a Bimbo and took her on a world trip at the taxpayers' expense. - The leader, Seymour claimed that he did not own any property and then had to reveal that he was a beneficiary of a family trust which owned a number of properties. No doubt he will turn up pissed on election night like last time. Imagine if Jacinda was pissed on election night the right wingers would still be complaining about it. They have no shame because they are now preaching cutting costs and law and order. Not to mention courting the gun freaks who want to own automatic rifles and they don't want legislation that has been successful in keeping guns to a minimum in Aussie. Not to forget attracting the Māori Haters such as triple. However, all is not lost They believe in Freedom.
