But on the other hand it probably applies equally to the situation in Australia. davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00312282243883488495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19962237.post-20940512879744709392020-02-14T16:51:52.149+13:002020-02-14T16:51:52.149+13:00https://www.nzcpr.com/new-zealands-maori-child-wel...https://www.nzcpr.com/new-zealands-maori-child-welfare-problem/<br /><br />Wow.<br /><br />That should be compulsory reading for every NZer.
