Nice headlines
From the NZ Herald:
Prime Minister-elect John Key has promised iwi a working relationship which they have welcomed as a new era for Maori-Crown relations.
It’s amazing how much one can achieve when you don’t call them haters and wreckers.

Key demonstrates considerable strategic nous by this move. He not only digs into Liarbore’s stronghold but also sends a message to his other two coalition partners that he doesn’t necessarily need them if they were to try to overplay their hand.
Let’s hope he displays similar skill in determining our economic strategy.

The radical element are haters and wreckers.
Besides which, why whould Maori have a special relationship with the Crown? Oh I forgot, discrimination against Pakeha is ok.

Haters and wreckers? Possibly.
Racists? Most definitely.

Doug “Philu The more important question, when are you going to get a Job?”
I think that will be right after he clears up the little problem he has with Auckland Uni regarding his missing Masters (Hons).

“dpf..!..you have become so iwi-friendly..!”
Phil, since when has DPF said or done anything that ISN’T iwi-friendly? Don’t tell me you, even you, are like all the other lefties – operating with a provably incorrect paradigm of life, human behaviour, economics and geopolitics?
Surely phil, you know better than that. You must know how things work. Only idiots look at conservatives as selfish people and one thing I know phil is that you’re not an idiot. Politically liberal, yes, but not an idiot. For other readers who are wondering, I am indeed truly sincere in that belief, despite what your own opinion of him may be.

John Key is doing the deals to ensure that Labour sit on the opposition benches for a very long time.
