I don't agree with the Maori Party on some issues but at least they are trying to be part of the solution - just not as effective as we want them to be.<br /><br />What is apparent right now is that there are talkers and then there are the doers - on the ground in Otautahi are the doers. The range from the student army to the farmy army to the tireless workers on our marae and the whanau that have taken in other whanau and so on.<br /><br />What we need is to work out how to harness that community good will to and mobilise it on an ongoing basis and not just in times of crisis.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7340901893892759228.post-6588852787143904892011-03-11T20:16:28.770+13:002011-03-11T20:16:28.770+13:00Tēnā koe Marty, ka tika tou kōrero.

Your posts often make me feel a bit more sane after spending a day listening to National Radio. Mauri oraKim McBreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07472161630620747887noreply@blogger.com
