The Treaty has been twisted and manipulated into something it was never intended to be.
This is exactly right. The origin of the treaty was in a world so much simpler than today yet it's being applied to all sorts of things that it really has no relevance to. ACT is trying to remedy that by defining it and then having a referendum to ratify the plan if it goes ahead. See https://www.act.org.nz/act_proposes_refe...governance.
At the end of the day, we need to help those who need help, and not keep giving millions of dollars to the greedy who line their own pockets with it and don't pass it on to where it's needed. We need more people like Tommy Wilson, https://www.nzherald.co.nz/bay-of-plenty...52QNOHFMY/ and https://sunlive.co.nz/news/262684-homele...ealed.html. Giving without taking and quietly getting on with doing productive things to make people's lives better.
