What’s Really Happening With Australians and Books?
Are we reading less or just differently?
Is There a Reasonable Compromise on Maori Independence?
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.
A Message to All Graduates
Don’t apply to Finance Minister Nicola Willis’ Social Investment Agency. It’s a PR scam.
Dame Whina Cooper’s Hīkoi Was for Change
This week's hīkoi was for keeping the status quo, the opposite of what the NZ Herald claims.
Hīkoi No More Than a Hiccup
The politicians, particularly those on the right, with the exception of ACT, need to realise that those who put them in power did so in the belief the necessary courage was there to fix this festering sore. We are now left in doubt and that is not good enough.

It Was Asking for Big Trouble
Are you wondering ‘how is this possible and how is this happening?’

The Māori Party, led as it is by a cowboy hat-wearing, face-tattooed world class buffoon, would be more accurately described as the Māori Failure Party, for that is what he and his unpleasant co-leader are effectively promoting.
