A fantastic, funny and rousing speech from Paul Henry about the sorry and sad state of New Zealand right now.
An aside.
Te reo Māori in the public sector: More work to be done for normalisation of te reo

Every goddamed last one of us is. Because we are all people striving together for the common good, and that's all that matters.
We are one people.
And we must ensure that we are always just that.
