Maoris are New Zealand original inhabitants. They comprise 20% of New
Zealand population. It is time that Native Americans open embassies too
in South America and all over the world.
BTW, there are indications
that Maoris are Mesopotamians by origin. I need to do some more studies on
this. (Americans try to claim that Maoris are Chinese as part of their hate to
Sumerians. However that is very unlikely and weak)

Maori embassy in Oz 'a bit rich'
| Thursday, 15 January 2009
A "Maori embassy" has been opened in a posh Sunshine Coast
suburb, plastered with signs declaring the Australian government and
the Queensland Parliament "fraudulently created entities".
The signs warn trespassers at the sprawling Bonavista
Crescent home that they risk fines of up to $A10,000 ($NZ12,387) and
imprisonment for up to six months if they wander onto its manicured
grounds, the Courier Mail newspaper reported on its website.
The embassy has its neighbours in the suburb, Doonan, near Noosa
Heads, scratching their heads, as the home's occupants claim to have
established the diplomatic headquarters under the Te Ture Whenua Maori
Act (Maori Land Act) of 1993.
All glass doors of the home are plastered with trespass notices
co-signed by the apparent "Maori ambassador to Australia" - whose name
is "Joe" - and the home's occupant.
"It's a bit rich that he can come over from New Zealand and then
start throwing his weight around like this claiming our governments and
companies are fraudulent, and putting up big signs," a neighbour said.
The home's occupants, Shane Patrick McKenna and Sonia Elizabeth Begley, weren't
at the house 180km north of Brisbane this week.
A housesitter, named Michelle, who was sleeping in an on-site guest
house, told The Noosa Journal that Mr McKenna and Ms Begley had
established a similar diplomatic building in New Zealand and divided
their time between the two.
The pair were each fined $750 in Tauranga District Court in 2007 for
refusing to supply information to New Zealand's tax department.
A spokesman for the New Zealand Consulate-General in Brisbane it was not aware
of the purported Sunshine Coast counterpart.
"New Zealand diplomatic representation in Australia is the New
Zealand High Commission in Canberra and Consulates-General in Sydney,
Melbourne and Brisbane," the spokesman said.
"There is no other diplomatic representation in Australia outside these posts."
