    Correct - and for the Maori Party, the use of the High Court in
    membership disputes is at total odds with the party rhetoric on
    colonisation.

    The inescapable fact is that Maori have adopted what colonisation made available to them - living as individual families in housing sourced
    from the colonial invaders, rather than continuing as collective
    tribes on Marae.

    Collective tribes on marae?

    I think the word is brutal savagery.

    Bill.
