Well worth sharing Melanie.

It's a Trump technique. Building a fan base and fishing for those rim voters - fundamentalists and those who might abandon NZF - stir them up, abandon them to randomness and then politically pander to them to justify their prejudices. No one will care that it's someone else's song-sheet.

Haramai te hōhonu me te whakatakoto o ngā whakaaro o te kaiwhakawhiti reo whai pūkenga. Kāore e taea e au taku kaha tautoko te whakaputa ā-kupu, ahakoa te reo. Ngā mihi.
