Anyone want to take part in a Hikoi against the Supercity?

[ManDownUnder]

What will be interesting is if say 2000 people go to this thing, then by definition, the balance of the 1.4 million people who wil be affected by this don't care enough to make a protest about it. Can we get Paul Henry to comment on that point on Breakfast the next morning?

Will the bearded lady be there?

Nah, she's got a new job in New York.

Speaking of which - never mind the Maori, perhaps there should be a guaranteed seat for J. Tizard? Nobody would vote for her either...

Is she Maori?? Cos otherwise it'd be racist to have a guaranteed seat just for her. [/sarcasm]

Another Hikoi of the Hopeless

[Mikkel]

So Hikoi = Hike?

Seems appropriate, someone was complaining about something to someone and was told to take a hike... so they did and have done so ever since.

I thought God told them to "do nothing until i come back", and that is exactly what they have done.

I'll take part in a hikoi against the hikoi. But then, that would be racist.

Pita Sharples makes me so angry. He is always having a cry about racism but in the same interview says he wants different things for Maori. Like a Maori only prison! Sweet Jesus!

Hmmm. Does seem to me, speaking as someone who's only lived in the country a few years, that there's no end of handouts and appeasements heading towards that particular minority group yet I see no evidence of that money being used to address their social problems.

Someone set me straight if you will. I could be talking bollocks.

P.S. Pre-election the Maori party said they would like to see the end of the dole for their people as they felt it wasn't good for some to languish on the benefit for years on end. Are they still campaigning for that?

The trouble with all the outspoken maori trouble makers is that they don't really know what the want, they just want more of it.

"it" being my land and my money presumably.

Apparently. IWI stands for "I want it".

[yod]

[Swoop]

I have noticed a big increase in Maori's driving around in late model fraud falcon cars.
Might just be a coincidence though.
