The Te Tiriti content (which isn't introduced until Year 4) implies the English text was signed in Feb 1840, that the Māori text is a "translation", and that Te Tiriti was primarily a response to the Musket Wars. This is all nonsense.

THERE'S the pushback talkig point our political journalists should be using when interviewing our Coalition of Cuts. #nzpol
Also, NZ’s net interest bill is barely 1% of tax revenues. Would you expect your banker to say no if you asked to borrow to keep your kids and grandkids alive when your interest costs were 1% of your income 3/3 #nzpol

Threatening doctors, nurses and medical professionals just doesn’t seem like a smart move or something that leads to a solution.
