In the ongoing, 'Wordfest”, regarding the water rights, Tuku Morgan has accused John Key of being, 'culturally ignorant”.
Tuku and his fellow believers in fairy tales, must find it very difficult living in a society comprising a mixture of cultures, where, by and large, all get on pretty well.
Meanwhile, he and his like seem to be doing their utmost to cause division, using their outrageous interpretations of The Treaty, currently claiming that Maori own all the waters in NZ. Their references to compensation and a being gifted shares in any commercial ventures, rather overshadows sensitivities regarding culture, but more of, 'I like that, so that makes it mine”.
Tuku will no doubt remember, that during his relatively short time in Parliament,(one term 1996-1999, he faced this dilemma of a clash of cultures, I refer, of course, to the 1997 scandal when he spent $4000 of Aotearoa Television funds on clothes, including the infamous pair of $89 underpants.
One can only assume that he wanted it, so it was his for the taking.
