Lovely.
That's what I thought when I saw the Maori Party challenging David Seymour's bill about the treaty with an amazing and very, very watchable challenge in Parliament.
Also, yesterday when I saw Brooke van Velden shock Parliament with - gasp- the 'C' word I thought "lovely" go for it woman. The fact that van velden is an Act MP and a compatriot of that dick Seymour didn't affect my opinion. I thought that what she said and was doing was spot on and matches my values.
OK, I might be stepping outside of my demographic here - a white, middle class, Labour voting septuagenarian - who is probably expected to be shocked at both of these antics but fuck it! Sometimes institutions, social mores and conventions need to be shaken up.
I wonder if Robert has an opinion on this or will he have to confer with St Faustina?
OK, here it is:

St Faustina would probably have gone to confess to Fr Sopocko who would have said he was too busy and then told her to go write it all in her diary.
OK. I read into that that Father Sopocko told you to bugger off and stop bothering him.

The bill on the treaty?
Looks like it is a bit messy as it stands , with many add-ons and updates. A rewrite with the main principles clarified could be a good thing if done without bias.
A lot of people have a false conception that equality in all things is necessary.
In theory discussion of the treaties contents is a good thing, but I suspect most New Zealanders aren't affected enough to be concerned.
Robert chuckles.
Peter, I'm with you 100% on this one. I found the haka very moving and appropriate.
Is the post about your tennis shoes still coming?
Oops! You've already done it! Sorry.
Hey Geon, thanks for the interest that you have shown in my blog and sorry I haven't replied. My new post should explain why. Again, many thanks.

Mmm - I should have been careful on what I wished for.
I'm not sure if Robert loves you, Geon.
