Blue 631 Report post Posted September 4, 2012 WTF ! Latest news."One iwi claims if Maori have rights to water, they also have rights to wind. A Ngapuhi sub-tribe is making a Waitangi Tribunal claim for Maori to earn a dividend for the use of wind for commercial electricity generation. Ngapuhi's David Rankin believes the Tribunal can't turn a blind eye to the claim." I'm not sure which is the punchline but you've gotta say LOL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stackedbluechip 29 Report post Posted September 4, 2012 At least they're are making it harder for themselves by going this far. It's much easier for key to ignore now as people can see the extent of their stupidity. I feel sorry for genuine Maori in all of this. The lack of pride from tribal leaders is hurting their reputation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blue 631 Report post Posted September 4, 2012 I would have thought the owner of the wind (and the water/rain) was the "person " or country from whence it came. Silly me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

archie 2 Report post Posted September 4, 2012 Barry, I did that with Helen Clark when they introduced the "fart tax" years back.Wrote her a letter saying I had farted so many times that week and at 69cents per fart included a cheque for the amount calculated, exluding gst of course. Received a letter back acknowledging my contribution and a week or two later received my orginal cheque back in the mail.I had made it out to her by name so they could not pass it on to something else. Still have the cheque around somewhere, kept it just for laughs !! Cheers and have a good day Archie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
