Suppose a group of indigenous politicians in the US or Australia stood in their place of representatives and performed a traditional challenge in the face of present-day injustice being piled upon historic unfairness. In that case, many of us might feel sympathy for the position taken by the Native American or Aboriginal politicians.

I do understand your comment but I never wanted the CoC government in the first place as many others here on the post comments proffer too, so for me it’s no overreach rather an extermination of bad politics affecting the poor, health, jobs, environment and infrastructure, not forgetting diplomacy either.

Glory daysWell, they'll pass you by, glory daysIn the wink of a young girl's eye, glory daysGlory daysSong: Bruce Springsteen. Two news stories this morning, and I’m afraid we’re going to start with the less pleasant one before we gorge ourselves on the most delicious of news. Nom Nom Nom.

National, NZ First and the TPU/ACT all say the Greens free GPs and dentistry are unaffordable madness. Funny, I feel just the same about tax cuts for landlords. It’s all choices.
Goodness, I hope Nicola didn't get the vapours after hearing the actual word shouted out, rather than just reading someone allude to it. Erm, the coalition may have relinquished the moral high ground it has been claiming. https://t.co/eecPX9rjG1
Jones, Peters, and Bishop are three bullies running interference for Brooke. Then Gerry cut her off and refused to let her answer.
