Let's do away with Waitangi day and all its farcical traditions.
Sir Paul Holmes stated why Waitangi Day should be scrapped far better than I ever could, and I quote:

'Waitangi Day produces its usual hatred, rudeness, and violence against a clearly elected Prime Minister from a group of hateful, hate-fuelled weirdos who seem to exist in a perfect world of benefit provision.
This enables them to blissfully continue to believe that New Zealand is the centre of the world, no one has to have a job and the Treaty is all that matters.
'I'm over Waitangi Day. It is repugnant. It's a ghastly affair.
As I lie in bed on Waitangi morning, I know that later that evening, the news will show us irrational Maori ghastliness with spitting, smugness, self-righteousness and the usual neurotic Maori politics, in which some bizarre new wrong we've never thought about will be lying on the table.
'This, we will have to address and somehow apply these never-defined principles of the Treaty of Waitangi because it is, apparently, the next big resentment.
There'll be lengthy discussion, we'll end up paying the usual millions into the hands of the Maori aristocracy and God knows where it'll go from there.
'Well, it's a bullshit day, Waitangi.
It's a day of lies. It is loony Maori fringe self-denial day…
No, if Maori want Waitangi Day for themselves, let them have it.”...unquote
