Imagine someone borrows your lawnmower for 20 years and then returns it busted and rusty and expects you to be grateful to get it back. Or says fine, I'll give you $2 for it. That is what it's like going through the Treaty of Waitangi land claims.

I think twitter should be called 'Calm the fuck down before you write anything'

All my life I have heard the "Why am I having Maori language shoved down my throat" comments, that is 60 years.
