Although there are true statements in the article posted, there are many
half truths and implications which are simply untrue.
 
I would advise any who are about to be taken in by this to investigate
carefully first.
 
For one thing, the proposed revision would have no effect on the
motherhood issue of keeping Hawaii free of imported species and pests.
That is an entirely separate issue.
 
Some Hawaiians are (cynically) mostly interested in getting an advantage
over New Zealand in the lucrative queen business by using an antequated,
but convenient law and trying to recruit support by deliberate
misrepresentation.
