‘With an election looming in only a few short weeks, the only question I am compelled to ask of you is, how much longer?
How much longer must people (partly) of Maori heritage labour under the crushing burden of low expectation? How much longer do we treat them as somehow less fully-formed, less human than other citizens, paternalistically excusing their statistically lower education and health outcomes, and higher rates of crime and imprisonment on the basis of their cultural heritage; the very definition of the term “racism”?
How much longer must New Zealanders of all cultural backgrounds apologise and pay for injustices real and (increasingly often) imagined which occurred most recently – when they occurred at all – more than a century ago?
How much longer must we continue under an apartheid electoral system where people (partly) from one racial background have access to preferential electorate seats from which others are excluded? How much longer must we put up with those disabled parking spaces of the electoral system?
How much longer must New Zealand be held hostage to a corrupt oligarchical structure of tribal supremacy epitomised by your friends the Corporate IWI? How much longer do we tolerate that tribal hierarchy deliberately keeping their own people in poverty and misery in order to pluck the heartstrings of Liberal White Guilt in order to ensure the treasury remains open to them?
How much longer until we cease to allow Maori-only electorate representation, Maori-only health funding, Maori-only legal representation, Maori-only educational scholarships?
How much longer must we tolerate the (former) paid and trained pet of the Corporate IWI, holding ministerial responsibility for treaty settlements, a conflict of interest so massive it would at minimum raise the eyebrows of the Law Society were it to occur in the private sector?
How much longer does our society suffer under the burden of treating citizens (partly) from one cultural heritage in preference to those from all others?
How much longer before the people of New Zealand break the stranglehold the Corporate IWI and their puppets in your government have on Maori people? How much longer before Maori people are considered fully-formed adult members of society, and afforded the same freedoms and liberties as every other citizen?
How much longer until you realise the massive leap backwards the relations between races have taken as a direct result of your government’s pandering to the interests of radical and seditious racist elements in our society?

The Gantt Guy’
Hey GG, great letter but you forgot to add the Anglican Maori Mission. I have yet to hear of an Anglican white mission pr Asian for that matter. If the major Christian (so called) denomination in the country threats the Maori as in need of special help, can we expect politicians to resist the pressure knowing how weak they are?
P.S. I love the ‘Boomshanka’ bit
Completely agree, Michael. The Church – ANY denomination – should be as colourblind as every other institution in society.
I wonder how a case to the Race Relations office would go!
In another sense, it is expected that the Church would adopt a paternalistic attitude to its parishioners, so long I guess as they treat us ALL as children and not just pick out the ones whose ancestors happened to bump into the place 500 or so years before those of the rest of us.
Great letter Gantt,I used to write letters to my elected officials,but I have found that a better use for the paper is making lists and silhouette targets since most of what I wrote gets tossed in the circle file by one of an army of assistants.
I seldom send e-mails,too easy for them to just hit delete,instead I use an envelope with plenty of glue.That way they at least have to open it in case there might be a donation check inside
I know I’m tilting at windmills while contemporaneously pissing into the wind (!) but I just want the bastard to know that no matter how much he sucks up to the plantation overseers, they’re always going to hate him and he would do better to think occasionally of his party’s base, most of whom he spends his time simultaneously ridiculing and ignoring.
Wait a sec… that reminds me of another dinosaur party in another country!
The prog POS won’t listen.
The National Party has become the Labour Party.
Rod Hide says a few similar things in his article today-
http://www.nzherald.co.nz/opinion/news/article.cfm?c_id=466&objectid=11279019
Why didn’t Hide say these things when he was in parliament?
Naked self-interest?
Fear of being branded with the ‘R’ word?
Given his marching orders by National to not rock the boat too badly?
The more I read of his commentary the more I like Rodney Hide as a commentator; my judgement of him is always clouded because it was udner his ‘leadership’ that ACT went from being the party which represented the Association of Consumers and Taxpayers to some messed-up sub-brand of the Leftertarianz who only ever wanted to talk about sexual depravity and drug law liberalisation.
BTW, excellent letter Gantt, and also excellent that you took the trouble to send it to Key.
But in his arrogance he just laughs at people like you and I.
While he is so “popular” with the chattering classes he’s just going to go on destroying the National Party.
And he’s not going to be stopped by any appeal to reason.
“And he’s not going to be stopped by any appeal to reason.”
True. Because few people vote according to reason and principles. The vote their wallet, they vote to feel good, they vote subject to the illusion that the ballot box means a damn thing.
In short, they’re mostly clueless fucking donkeys.
Clueless fucking donkeys is right, seduced by lies about ‘free’ healthcare or ‘interest-free’ student loans or ‘tax credits’ from working for families.
The useless fucks are so stupid they can’t even see that not only are their lollies ‘free’, they’re actually (for the most part) paying for them themselves. The only difference between a market-based approach and the ‘free lollies’ approach is that the price goes up with free lollies because there’s a line of bureaucrats waiting to take their slice of every dollar as it slides through the system!
The universal franchise is a concept which has utterly failed. And the sooner we wake the fuck up and realise it, the sooner those of us who actually contribute to the treasury can set about putting society back together.
Key will laugh at anyone who questions him – particularly those of us from the traditional National Party support-base. My message was delivered more for my local electorate MP – Mark Mitchell – who I copied on the email. He’s a good man and many are saying could be the future of the National Party. I can only hope that if enough people from the conservative (small ‘c’) base send enough messages to enough electorate MPs (all List MPs are scum), they will swing back towards the base and let Labour, the Greens, MegaMana, Apartheid and the other conga-line of circus freaks all set about cannibalising the far-left.
Thank you Gantt Guy.
I’m mailing a hard copy to that traitorous awful bastard Key tomorrow. And to my
electorate MP the snivelling coward Heatley.
Oooohh, me-me-me
I know the answer… 
Forever.
It has changed too much. For the worst. Look forward to the new hordes- maori mixed with indians. Permanantly aggrieved darks with chips on their shoulder who can do higher mathematics.
Hey dondiego – come join with us on Facebook page at:

Cheers, Admin
You’re a rude prick, aren’t you? Fuck off and tout for readers elsewhere.
Jam your facebook page up your ass. And I deleted your other (identical) comments.
At least partly my fault, KG. I posted a link back here on my Facebook account. Won’t happen again.
Nah, not your fault at all, Gantt. He’s done something similar before.
By all means link back to your Facebook account.
And don’t forget that supreme-supremist maori bastard Kireka Whaanga of the
aotearoa maori muslim association who hangs with turia and sharples at kingitanga
events and rubs shoulders with the Prime Weasle’s number 1 , the white convert
to the religion of body bags , his Minister of Foreign Trade-Tim Grosser.
Great letter Gantt , but it will fall on deaf ears , these a-holes only care about personal power.
Key will not even read it, he’s too busy strutting his stuff in the US, such is his love for the limelight. Such a traitor to NZ and National, as are the lot of them..
Power at all costs, Key indeed laughs at Joe Bloggs ordinary. Such arrogance. What did NZ do to deserve him? Worse than the ex.
Spot-on, Lara.
Awesome letter!! Reblogged here: http://1law4all.kiwi.nz/2014/06/24/the-gantt-guys-letter-to-john-key/
