Swear to get Paid .. ;)
Good one :)
But isn't what they get paid something of a value symbol that precedes colonial times
and to receive it something else is expected - like goods or service ? ;)
that sort of value symbol was far from the minds of those applying their marks & scribbles
on the bit of paper way back 180 odd years ago ..
‘Ferris and party co-leader Rawiri Waititi later on did not stick exactly to the script, instead of “Kīngi Tiāre te Tuatoru”, or King Charles III in te reo, the two MPs referred to “Kīngi Harehare te Tuatoru”.
Harehare can mean “scab”. Asked about this after the ceremony Waititi said “Hare” was also a term for Charles.
“It’s what we say on the coast,” he said, adding - with a wry smile - he would never call the King a word such as “scab”.’
Standing up for unity and against separatism is now apparently “belittling Maori culture”. That these trolls, happy to mock the mental health of others, will swear blind they are ‘not Left wing’ is just another indication of their disingenuous & duplicitous natures.
Absolutely.
They had 5000kg of potatoes and 30 whole pigs, along with barrels of tobacco assembled on 5th January 1840, so they could chew it all over.
That in itself was a major achievement, as Pak and Save wasn't trading in those days!
Little did Hone Heke, Kawiti, Waka Nene and co know that their right to smoke would be deprived from their descendants by Smoke-free legislation in the 2020's, and even more bizarrely give rise to protest in the street by Te Pati in 2023, when a new set of Rangitira wanted to give it back!
