Any kiwis feeling smug about this shouldn't because for every horror methos of australian colonisation of the indigenous population there is a horror tale here in NZ against Maori.

Certainly there are horror tales against the Maori. But it's definitely not one-for-one. There was never anything remotely like the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_War|Black…

Our Premier is Mike Rann, who grew up in New Zealand. I've started to wonder whether that's significant.

Perhaps, though South Australia does have something of a proud (by Oz standards) progressive tradition. The remarkable – for his time – Don Dunstan left a legacy that even the ghastly John…

the last wave may have been very entertaining for whiteys but it came close to killing David.

So, sadly enough, I've heard. Of course a few years earlier he suicided on screen in Nicholas Roeg's Walkabout. Also there was a ghastly gratuitous walk-on part in The Right Stuff.

mana whenua belonged to Ngai Tahu.
Kati Mamoe had already – well over 2 centuries before- supplanted Waitaha, and did that the same way we did – a few bloody clashes, much more intermarrying.
I look forward to…

James, a lot of my Kai Tahu kin come from that area.
Or are you suggesting something about possible Waitaha hapu?
I know they are part of my whakapapa also.

I lived in the territory for 20 years travelled round it mobs but always tried to avoid Alice Springs the asshole of Australia, and very definitely a whitefella town, not a blackfella one.
