“I think the general public is not aware that we are going through huge revolutionary changes in the country and in fact, we have taken that such a long way, there is no going back.”
“It’s just a question now of how the public service works to implement the policies that come through from Government.”~ historian Claudia Orange (whose 1987 book on the Treaty proved to be widely influential, especially on the myth of 'partnership') speaking approvingly last week on the radically-changed mainstream interpretation of the Treaty, and the government's implementation of co-governance -- quoted in Thomas Cranmer's 'Waitangi Day and the Quiet Revolution' [Hat tip Chris Trotter]

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
