Hard News: Waitangi: Just enjoy the day, in reply to Nick Russell,
As did Helen Clark
You mean, some time when Clark and Harawira were on speaking terms? I must have been on sick leave that day.
Yes, it's largely symbolic, but it's also about diplomacy. It's not the warm reception that's really significant. It's the warm and in-depth approach she made. In fact, she openly invited protest as symptomatic of a healthy society. Pretty different from former attempts.

Sure, she's set herself a high bar. Yet people are saying that like it's a bad thing.
The big promise she made, which can be easily kept, is that she'll be back again next year. So, the next 12 months will see some noses put out of joint, and some of those noses may rock up to Waitangi next year with placards. But I reckon you can bet she's still gonna turn up. And that's important.
Wahine toa, I reckon.
