Once again our current govt shows it's disdain for Maōri and te Tiriti.

And look in your defence, they DID have a clumsily worded anecdote that was only tangentially related (and it took AGES to reveal the additional challenge these books created for their kid, was what they were getting at - I understand that).

I guess what I'm getting at is: attack their point - not the personality.

Needless to say, I'm over it...
