When good people stand by and do nothing, their communities will be consumed.

I wonder what Professor Richard Dawkins, the self-described “cultural Christian”, thought of the blasphemous Paris Olympics opening ceremony?
Dawkins is famous for his atheism, not so much his work in biology. However, the author of The God Delusion recently had a Road to Damascus moment that maybe all his work to help undermine the religious foundations of the Christian West wasn’t such a good idea after all if its replacement will be Islam.
The idea is to take existing Māori land (already defined in legislation) and create a local council for each iwi or hapū that wants to take this model. The largest bits of contiguous land any iwi or hapū own would be sufficient.
People are different, and that’s both entirely OK and entirely the problem.
We need to get the Ministry of Culture to fund some kind of dance development project.
We can have democracy or we can have indigenous sovereignty. We can’t have both.
