    Why don't these dorks just concentrate on their key talents - smoking, drinking, eating and gambling - and leave the legislation to the Communists in power. The bottom-feeders will get a good dose of wealth distribution from the hard working public anyway

    I'm really surprised they haven't tried to claim sole rights to the word and colour black.

    If they were here from the start of NZ maybe they'd have some claim to everything, but they were colonists just like the Europeans who followed them - and the Chinese who supposedly got here first!

    Give me a break, every time I think I have heard it all, they turn around and lay claim to something else. Forests, seabed, foreshore - you name it, if there is a potential to make some money, suddenly it should be owned by Maori. Any wonder so many kiwis are heading to Australia?
    Yes, I am pedantic about spelling and grammar so get used to it!

    I think they should do some work for their money instead of trying to claim it all.

    Bloody good read that, I completely agree, ignore the bottom 'response' though.

    They claimed they had the copyright to their culture! When Playstation released a game that had "fierce maori warriors" or something in it they kicked up a stink! Until some money swapped hands at a rough guess.

    The Irish should trademark St Paddys day - they could make some serious coin!

    Why are you all complaining? Clearly you wanted this by voting for lefties and they know whats best for all of us. Even third world countries like Brasil are laughing at us. Embarrassing.

    Exactly. What these activists dont seem to understand is that if they copyright their culture, their culture will become even less relevant.

    The likes of the Irish and Scottish culture has spread throughout the world. If people have to pay to use Maori icons (e.g. the Playstation Warrior example above) these icons will just not be used. Stupid Maori activists should be glad their culture is seen as interesting enough by the rest of the world to be used at all. They are just a small indigenous tribe at the ends of the earth and should celebrate the global interest they are experiencing at the moment

    I didn't vote for the no-kids lesbo, despite being in her electorate and being surrounded by morons who did.

    Fucking moose faced embarrassment she is....
