Maybe Ngai Tahu should return the dosh?

After five “full and final settlements” from the taxpayer, South Island tribe Ngai Tahu has now got their hand out for a sixth—as a $68.5 million “top up” of the $170 million gifted them in 1997 by convicted criminal Doug Graham.

But perhaps, argues Mike Butler, instead of another handout based on a bogus history, it would be more appropriate if the taxpayer were to receive a refund—“demanding the return of the $170 million paid in 1998 on the grounds that it was paid in error.”

Or after this sixth “settlement,” on which a government needing a Racist Party for votes will assuredly capitulate, will there in another decade or two be a seventh?

I say give part-horis who want so-called settlements a piece of Antarctica and boot them down there to live

I wonder if folk who talk about people as "part-Horis" should join them?

Actually, "part-Horis" is pretty mild compatred to the sort of stuff that used to routinely appear in the Free Radical.
