Timely.
Once the Labour Party was the only one for Maori.
“He’s got to speak English or he will miss the bus.”
Such a great and powerful metaphor, saying so much with a few words, and in everyday, down-to-earth terms. And it contrasts with some of the flowery (almost patronising) language of the reportage.
Reminds me of some of Hone’s lines:
“Feed the kids”
“That is what the fuss is all about”.
