Gotta say it was encouraging to get some idea of what Dame Susan Devoy has to say about Waitangi Day.
Or rather, what she has written about Waitangi Day.
Some tosser on Radio NZ’s Morning Report this morning (listen here) was obviously hoping she would expand on what she had written and tried teasing her into saying something untoward. She had the good sense to be circumspect. She should have hit him in the nuts with her squash racquet.
She was circumspect – or rather, considered about what she said as you will find here – because she has just been named Race Relations Commissioner.
