| 1116761 | 2010-07-07 02:18:00 | From a article I read,the tikangs bit I found interesting,do you find the same? The Attorney General has stated that National’s proposed law, which will undoubtedly open the floodgates to a new Maori grievance industry, will rely heavily on the concept of “tikanga” Maori. To help to clarify what that means, I will leave you with the definition of “tikanga” used by the Waitangi Tribunal in its report on the Crown’s foreshore and seabed policy: “…everything is about tikanga, and tikanga is about everything. In the traditional Maori world view there is no matter that does not have tikanga attached to it, and the foreshore and seabed are quintessentially bound up with tikanga. Tikanga imbues consideration of every aspect of the elements themselves, and how humans interact with them.” |

Generally taken to mean "the Māori way of doing things", it is derived from the Māori word tika meaning 'right' or 'correct'. |

| 1116768 | 2010-07-07 06:32:00 | Well Muldoon once said that Winston Peters would be NZ’s first Maori Prime Minister. He was wrong, Hone Key is. I just can’t understand why Key is so hell bent in separatism. Fair go, he'll start a war the way he's going. |

Haven't noted a single thing that suggests Key is involved in separatism, to what do you refer?? |
