I suspect that if the gravy train stuff simply stopped and we really were colour blind, economic realities would force a sudden shift in performance of segments that are not presently obliged to perform at all. <br /><br />3:16Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-33498088314080322122013-08-28T19:43:55.215+12:002013-08-28T19:43:55.215+12:00Just like the Crown's history of racism, race ...Just like the Crown's history of racism, race relations in NZ not straightforward, Peter.Ugly Truthhttp://www.actsinjunction.infonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-16518315537031107502013-08-28T16:22:50.856+12:002013-08-28T16:22:50.856+12:00Can someone please tell me how I seem to attract f...Can someone please tell me how I seem to attract fruitloops, conspiracy mongers and advocates of "quick and overwhelming application of force" to a post this straighforward?Peter Cresswellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10699845031503699181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-26036813952679712492013-08-28T15:44:33.994+12:002013-08-28T15:44:33.994+12:00You left out the "race based terrorism" ...You left out the "race based terrorism" of Taame's Army.<br /><br />NZ's 150 years of history teach that there is only one way to guarantee domestic peace - the quick and overwhelming application of force. A lesson Hellen Clark clearly forgot when ordering the heavily-armed STG into Ruatoria.
