A source of disharmony.
Mrs Grumble has drawn your hard-working MP’s attention to a fuss in the capital that he overlooked during his news monitoring yesterday.
It’s a useful – and ominous – pointer to what Alf foresees happening under the Treaty-based co-governance arrangements now being spawned around the country.
It shows the need to strike the right tone when you take up a few niggling issues with your co-governance partner.
Otherwise the other party might spit the dummy and become uncooperative.
Moreover if you are an iwi leader, you must not piss off other Maori or things become awfully complicated.
