2009 was the worst year for race relations in NZ, it was good though as many of as actually believed that we had moved on and were united: To actually feel the real sentiment of the Community:
H Bomb in Whanganui, Maori Flag, Michael Laws, Hone Harawira, Maori Seats on Council,
The two camps were clearly defined, two teams clearly against each other: Its pathetic - A real defining moment for this country as we can see where people really sit and what views they had:
I dont think this is about race or the Treaty, its not even about respecting another Land, its a tricky situation: All are entitled to an opinion and at the end of the day thats all it is.
Some really dumb things did come out though and I think it shows how ill informed and how little though went into some of these suggestions:
Namely that China get a separate NZ flag and Seats: Is pathetic they didnt sign the Treaty our Founding Document: So on what basis does that give them any right:
And to top off the Year we had the Leader of the Opposition Phil Goff, adopt the Don Brash approach and start Maori Bashing - 2010 wont be any better, in fact it will be worse as we go into the Auckland Council elections: Plenty more to blog on this story stay tuned.
