Trans Tasman takes its usual reasoned and throughtful approach to the Foreshore and Seabed issue and concludes:
Some authorities dismissed the foreshore and seabed decision as just another example of Key’s deal-making skill.What they miss is Key’s determination to honour the spirit of the Treaty of Waitangi, and harmonise race relations to a degree unmatched anywhere in the world. It’s a goal liberals find hard to accept coming from a conservative party, but is not so astonishing for those who believe capitalism, rather than welfarism, is the most effective instrument through which the shackles of poverty can be broken.
