I watched Seymour on the Hui and that didn't add clarity. I wonder if anyone has asked him the right questions yet. For example, can he give an example of non-maori or alt-maori being disadvantaged by the lack of tino rangatiratangi? Could Gloriavale or the Mongrel Mob do better with it? Could I? I find it hard to imagine how we don't have self determination under the law already.

The current New Zealand government is a failed omelette made with bad eggs. One (the lead egg) even looks exactly like an 🥚 egg. Apparently, this ego-driven, entitled egg is an ‘A’ list egg, with comprehensive negotiation expertise and substantial mergers-and-acquisitions experience. Yeah-right, like his Virgin Airlines f***kup. “When Luxon was the boss of Air New Zealand, his acrimonious relationship with Virgin Australia’s boss John Borghetti saw him quit Virgin’s board and sell Air New Zealand’s stake, losing tens of millions of dollars.” Nice work. His claims to having any expertise are more liked scrambled eggs. For a laugh watch an embarrassed Luxon fail to answer Tova’s perfectly legitimate question regarding his M & A experience. https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/politics/301010866/chris-luxon-reluctant-to-explain-the-merger-and-acquisition-experience-he-often-talks-up

Well put Simon. The country united to stress it had had enough of this nonsense and that the only way is to move forward together in partnership. A great piece of writing… thank you.
