MAORI ABOUT TO ENTER AGE OF TRUE PARTNERSHIP

Stuff has the best story of the decade - its a story of common sense pragmatism, hope, aspiration but more than anything it is about partnership. If Maori walk away from this then they are denying their moko's the best chance at a partnership that will deliver a shared future. All of the wise young Maori intellegensia and tribal elders need to embrace this opportunity. There are no risks for Maori in working with National. This chance cannot be lost or Maori will remain forever in the welfare ditch of despair.
