Good news lads!
Going to our current plan of payments, we should have it all settled in 400 years.
We will however have sold everything to the Chinese to pay for this.
Suddenly a $1b fiscal envelope doesn't sound so bad, we could have had it all paid off in a years time.

Sorry - I missed this one. It's old but deserves an answer.
Yes, Ka mate a Mate was written by Te Rauparaha after his escape fleeing from a rivasl group's war party. The haka itself is a lot longer than the ABs perform . The whole thing tells the whole story ..
What the All Blacks use celebrates the man with the hairy legs who let down a ladder into the pit so he could climb out after his narrow escape ... Yes, as I understand it, he hid in the kumera pit under "a woman's skirt". A chief sitting under the bum and vagina of a woman was such an offence against tapu that the war party never thought of looking for him there ... an interesting idea that he breached tapu in such a way to save his own life ... this haka actually belongs to the wi called Ngati ToaRangatira, who are descendents of te Rauparaha, which was why Kapa o Pango was written as an All Black haka instead of them using Ngati ToaRangatira intellectual property rights. Kapa o Pango can be translated as "All Blacks" ...
Have a look here . this is not bad, but doesn't really answer your question - I'm not sure anyone can answer it ...
