I wonder how many of the outraged among us, seething at the Maori claim to take control of our waterways, rivers and the like, failed to take part in the recent Citizens Initiated Referendum on the Foreshore and Seabed rort, in spite of their probable loud vocal objections.
As we now know, this failed, due to the lack of numbers and once again revealing the sickening apathy that pervades our society, thus giving succor to those who must be delighted, not to say, encouraged, to further their quest for 'What their rights are”.
Allow me to remind the silent majority that, 'She” will most definitely not be 'Right, mate”.

‘She’ll be right’ attitude reveals our apathy

Sadly nothing will get the apathetic backsides of padded sofa's. Even the seething outraged among us. We are a lazy race when it comes to our lifestyle and our grandchildren's lifestyle. If we really cared and stopped carrying the flag of apathy we would be standing up on our hind legs and screaming against what is currently going on with outrageously stupid and may I say arrogant claims about ownership of water. Here we are living in a so called Democracy and we are basically being ruled and bullied by a 12% minority. Sadly we do not live in a democracy now we live in an ineptocracy. In the very near future we will find we have left it too late to dip the flag of apathy. Where has the courage gone that once flowed the blood of us Kiwis. The low turnout at the last local body election was a disgrace and is a great example of what apathy will reward us with , it also shows us how apathy will punish us. Alastair Bethlehem.
