Hori put them wherever he felt was appropriate as a native speaker. He was all about dialects, and thought the dictionary wasn't perfect. Te Aka is good, but I'd run all the reo dialogue by him for S

Māori - as a term for all Polynesians - don't believe that genetics alone are whakapapa. That's why I explained whangai in the 2-hour tape. Whakapapa is a much broader concept than ancestry. - Whil

To the British Museum etc.

Harry says you have the treaties that Māori signed with other nations (including Africa). It's amazing how much info you acquired from us... taboo, mana etc.

Bear in mind that I also helped swing Rawiri's seats twice, and I was indirectly part of Te Pāti Māori's campaign. 4 out of 7 says it all. Should have banked on me, Chris's. šŸ˜‚ Carmel, I'm dead serious about the grand coalition. That, to me, is a really sensible notion, and Jack is the only media personality who ever mentioned any of these ideas. He's the best interviewer, but his team is also really well-funded. That's what I want equity regarding. I think that Whakaata Māori should have LOTS more money than it currently has. I've been watching it since I was a teenager.

I have a great memory for faces, but few people bother to speak to me, so I'm crap with remembering names. It takes about three meetings for me to remember that. Kia ora to Gerry Brownlee's team too, and Brooke's. šŸ³ļøā€āš§ļøšŸ˜‚ I'd rather have dinner with Brooke than a brief meeting, but I do intend to speak to her about the drug policies. I know that Seymour is opposed, but everyone else in ACT agrees with me.
