Maori and general treatment of them is one area that perplexes him.
Sofie, you may need to remind your therapist of his homeland's sterling treatment of its own minorities.
Like Uyghurs. Especially talkative ones like Rebiya Kadeer. Maori Television don't seem to have trouble joining the dots.

Rudman speculates it might be Waikato's dairy runoff causing algal blooms in the Hauraki Gulf:
...Environment Waikato soil scientist Dr Peter Singleton.
Last year, Dr Singleton published a damning report on the parlous state of rural water and soil in the Waikato region, and the effect of intensive farming on the related waterways.
He estimated that run-off caused by excess fertiliser use and animal defecation on farms, was resulting in the equivalent of 97 truckloads of nitrogen-rich urea fertiliser entering the sea at Port Waikato every week and the equivalent of 32 truckloads a week entering the Firth of Thames - the southern reaches of the Hauraki Gulf.
...Unless the situation improved, he warned, a 100sq km oxygen-starved, lifeless anoxic zone could one day stretch out into the Gulf.
...he didn't want "to draw the link between the Waihou River [which drains the Hauraki Plains] and what going on at the moment in the Gulf". But "it's definitely something that has to be thought about".
