1366867 2014-02-05 06:53:00 Boss has given us Friday off too so long as we make the hours up, he is also giving us the 3 days after Easter as well, we just have to work 4 Saturdays in March/April in return especially me as I am still in negative annual leave from Christmas.

Who do I apply to so as I can register as a underfunded minority race. I am the only one of my design left.

1366868 2014-02-05 20:30:00 I call Feb 06 Maori Bitching Day as that's exactly what it is. We don't look too good against the national days of Australia, US and France where they are true national days. It's about time some politician had the guts to end it and have a real New Zealand Day on say March 15 based all over the country not up north then the Maori can protest as much as they like and the news media hopefully won't rush up there to cover it but I suspect we have go too far in the separation of races to do that . paulw (1826)

I quite agree. Let's have a national day with no mention of the NZ aborigines. Let's forget about separatism and have a day that all New Zealanders can celebrate. Unfortunately, at present, that is not the case.

1366871 2014-02-06 00:32:00 As Mr Key said this morning, there are a few that do this each year, but the rest just get on with it and have a pleasant day.

Just because the Aussies were incredibly nasty to the original inhabitants and still are, doesn't mean we need to be the same because of a few Harawiras that even the other maori at Waitangi are sick of.

Then why don't they do something about it?? I suspect that the Harawiras are the Maori version of the mafia and everyone is too scared to say anything..

Or perhaps we could start a thread on whether Maori are aboriginal to NZ?

They came from Polynesia.
