Aotearoa Waka question of the day
Regarding Tariana Turia's call to Maori to be aware when the go to Australia that all is not a bed of roses, are the agencies of social support in both countries, including the state agencies, being as reasonable and cooperative as possible? The fact of the matter is that Maori go to Australia in significant numbers and seem set to continue doing so.
