But nowhere could I find a reference to a washing machine.

Must be an F&P380 in there somewhere, you're just not looking hard enough. You need to learn your scriptures better, lest the Lord smite you.

Why on earth would we want to emulate Australia ?

And what would constitute proof ? In western academic terms or in Māori terms ?

And why does length of time here matter ? We are talking about human beings - people we share a country with ...

not emulating - simply comparing apples to apples.

Maori aren't indigenous to NZ - quite simple really. They turned up, killed and ate the locals, and proclaimed themselves as being here forever. For a stoneage race up until the 1800's, forever was probably 2 full moons worth.

Length of time here seems to be basis for the whole over-subscribed gravy train that is the Waiatangi Tribunal, so don't suggest that concept is not understood.

THat's a misunderstanding.

In the 19th Century plenty of European and American writers were suggesting that colonization was wrong ... The British Colonial Offices instructions to Cook were that any land he found belonged to the people who lived there .. and it's instructions to Hobson were NOT to sign a treaty as the sovereignty of the Māori peope had been accepted by the British Crown ..

The tribunal is not about establishing indigenaity as a class above the subsequent immigrant population - it's about addressing the grievences which have created the situation Māori find themselves in today as a result of the unjust and unethical actions of a colonizing people ...

You and the mayor have no idea how to respond in a culturally appropriate manner, and the news media had no idea what they were looking at either ... and consequently misreported the situation ..

Culturally appropriate my fucking ass.

Poorly disguised Troll is poorly disguised.

I did like the little reprobate on Police 10-7 (one of those shows, anyway) who's position was "We grew here, they flew here" about the European cop who was giving the little twit a sheaf of tickets.

Yeah "I showed that pig - but he showed me a shit-load of tickets bro!"

[Madness]

Culturally appropriate my fucking ass.

BDOTGNZA have asked me to request you modify that post for the betterment of the New Zealand people and the preservation of our gracious Queen's language.

As you were.
