Willie threatens war

Stuff reports:

Labour Māori caucus co-chair Willie Jackson is suggesting there could be civil unrest if David Seymour’s hopes for a referendum on the Treaty of Waitangi are successful in the ACT Party leader’s coalition discussions with the National Party. 

He warned people are so strongly opposed that they would “go to war” to stop it. 

Rather than actually allow a debate on how the Treaty should be interpreted, a former Labour Minister threatens civil unrest and “war” if the new Government (which got elected on a mandate against co-governance) allows the people of New Zealand a referendum.

Threatening violence because you lost an election, is not something we should tolerate in New Zealand.
