Trump 2,741 Report post Posted February 5, 2020 I read a quote attributed to MR Peters and was amused. It read, “Mr Peters says it's his hope that Maori will experience equality with Pakeha much sooner than 2040”. My opinion is that “Equal Opportunity” is the most important thing anyone can be given and for me, Maori in NZ have had that for yonks and any Maori willing to embrace it has done well for themselves - as have Pakeha. The latter who haven’t embraced it are also numerous. NZ has given equal opportunity to all and has even had several “Female” Prime Ministers. Maybe MR Peters was referring to something else?

The Maori seats for one thing...and the threat by Jones to National in Northland. It will get nasty this one.....

Fair while to the next election and you can guarantee events will unfold to undermine Labour/Green even further.

Trump 2,741 Report post Posted February 6, 2020 If you look at what’s happening in many countries, people have had enough of the loonie left, the socialist scourge, Marx madness and Extinction Rebellion and Climate clanger idiots. That’s why Trump is so popular, Morrison defeated the Labour/Greens Loonies, Boris Johnson, etc etc. if Simon Bridges gets his shit together and takes a strong Centre position, he won’t need anyone’s help - the people will decide. dock leaf 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Bridges keeps burning his, it might be a bridge too far...... Meanwhile, the largesse is being doled out in big dollops and the touchy feely brigade are having a field day.....
