I was trying to decide if I had anything insightful to say about Hone Harawira, or whether the numb skull deserves my blog space, but then I heard that another hui has ended without an outcome and I fell asleep.
Could this get any more boring? What a poor lesson in leadership and management for our "future" (which I will forever consider myself a part of, regardless of my age, thank you very much). Can someone please respond to my suspicion that hui end when the food finishes and reconvene when the supermarket has enough stock again? Because the impression that's left is that hui have nothing to do with reaching conclusions and agreements in a timely manner. And everything to do with an opportunity to get together for a chat and a feed.
We all know that as long as hate-based race-based politics is allowed to continue in NZ, no censure will befall Hone. As much as we would like it to, and as much as we know it morally should. So stop pissing around with the hui, get off the benefit that allows you the freedom to take weeks off to attend hui and pay for all the food, and do something useful for a change. If you're going to insist on politics based purely on tribal lines, you might feel more at home in Africa. It's surprisingly easy to come up with policies that are intelligent and not divisive. It's takes much more effort to call people mofos and to play the victim card. Perhaps a hui is needed to talk this through. I'll get the potatoes.
