Dear Governor Gray I’m writing to you because I am concerned about the European settlers coming to New Zealand and the effects they are doing to New Zealand. One of the big effects is they are cutting down native bush land, they are doing this to build houses and for farm land. For instance, 320,000 ha are planned to be cut down this year. If they keep clearing the bush New Zealand in the future will be in trouble with a big decrease in bird life and increase in pollution. Another effect is that all of a sudden there has been a massive increase in population. A lot of people are coming over here from England for space to set up a business or to collect wool to send back to England. The last effect I am going to talk about is how the Maori are getting very bad diseases since the Europeans came over. Maori are now suffering from the measles, small pox and influenza. For example it is expected that 60,000 people are going to die. I think you should think about these ideas and how much effect they are having on new zealand

Sincerely yours,

Olivia McIntyre
