The writer lists ten issues that illustrate the deceptions practised by the government: the wars with Ngā Puhi; the quarrel with Rangihaeata; the Taranaki wars; the Waikato wars; the quarrel over the King Movement; the government insisting that the Treaty of Waitangi was signed by all people; the lack of equal representation of Maori in Parliament; trampling on the words of Tāwhiao concerning the non-sale or lease of Maori lands; the actions of the Native Land Court declaring strangers to be owners of the land; unfair bias towards Pakeha in a Maori-Pakeha court case. Also mentions the unfair system surrounding the government's right to pre-emptive land sales and suggests that this encourages profiteering by the government. | |
