I commend this thoughtful articulation of Maori history and interest in Auckland's governance by local academic research director Merata Kawharu.
Crucially, from Ngati Whatua's perspective, by Hobson accepting their offer, he was also accepting the obligations inherent in the offer. Translated, this meant that Ngati Whatua believed they were not giving up their lands, livelihood and mana, but rather they were strengthening their political and cultural footing through a developing economy and enhancing their ability to serve others.
...The abolishment of the three seats on the new Super City governance entity does not reflect the principles of sharing, inclusion or mana as envisaged by Ngati Whatua.
The decision to eliminate the seats repeats mistakes made in the history of this city. There is enough in our historical kete to guide us in facing current political challenges. Let us not ignore them.

Be my guest, Kerry - it's a distillation of several thinkers rather than a quote from any of them. I'm sure Giovanni and others with fresher knowledge would be able to tease out the inspirations. And I'll bet there are simpler ways of saying it, somewhere. I look forward to hearing how it flies for you.

I reccomend dance music, Mark. Considerate crowds in my experience. Mind you that would apply to classical, jazz and many other forms too.

Stuart, that's awesome. So there can be such a thing as too much audience appreciation.
