| 1335718 | 2013-04-06 23:22:00 | A Danish MP has blasted the powhiri she received on a visit to New Zealand as "uncivilised and grotesque''. In an opinion piece in a Danish newspaper, right wing politician Marie Krarup says she was shocked to be welcomed by a dancing "half naked man.'' She says on arrival at the Devonport Naval Base, her group was greeted by a man shouting and screaming in Maori, and poking his tongue out. Ms Krarup goes on to say she felt like an idiot giving a hongi and the waiata performed by naval personnel sounded like a Danish children's song about a happy ladybird. |

| 1335720 | 2013-04-06 23:33:00 | If Denmark ever opens a diplomatic mission here, Ms Krarp, sorry Krarup, should be appointed to the post. Then she might learn what it's all about. Us Kiwis and members of this forum are the only ones allowed to poke the borax at our indigenous lot. Not foreigners. |
