I have to be honest with you, while watching all the news reports today about Maori embracing the National party politics and politians half hearted promises and attempts of a more "bicultural/Maori friendly future" I think I may have vomitted a little in my mouth. To me it smells like the beginnings of a modern day Waitangi.
I don't know whether you watched the news at all tonight (you were probably living it up in Wellington BTW JEALOUS!!!) but John Key had the smuggest look in his face when talking about his invitation to speak at the dawn speeches, etc. I could almost see him patting himself on the back.
But hey, who am I but a liberal little weenie who wants to make everyone happy. I mean it's not like THAT IS THE IDEAL OF DEMOCRACY or nothing.
It's apparently all about harsher sentencing in our already prison happy country.
