Police will be so busy next year - ripping off gang patches, trying to figure out who might be in a gang (cos patches are kinda helpful like that) while catching all the crims who aren’t in gangs. I guess the 15000 workers who will be laid off could retrain as Corrections officers or makeup artists…

It’s Oct 28. Flashback to 1835 when the sovereign powers of iwi were recognised; the Declaration of Independence, a precursor to Te Tiriti. Just saying.

"This election is not just a battle of policies. On one level, this is our own Voice referendum. It’s our own opportunity as a nation to reject the politics of anti-Māori hate."
