If you'll recall, Matua Justin tore a few strips off the PM at Akaroa last year. That they're going up North is a very, very precise move.
Last year the Prime Minister skipped Waitangi and celebrated with Ngāi Tahu in Akaroa instead. This year he won’t have that option.

If you're one of the 188 Republicans and 153 Democrats who voted last week to send $3.3B more in military and bombs to Netanyahu as he commits genocide, do not be quoting Dr. MLK this week, who specifically condemned the triple evils of racism, poverty, and militarism.
