Dr Brash rejected the notion that Maori should have special civil, political or democratic rights and accused the Government of taking New Zealand down a "separatist" path.

I'm wondering what support there is for Dr. Brash's position and whether he has any chance of getting this accomplished?

,,, Brian Allen was kind enough to eMAIL me this morning's snap poll (run by www.stuff.co.nz). The question put to poll voters was "Will Don Brash's hard-line stance on race relations improve National's fortunes in the polls?"

385 voters said "no", reflecting 24% of the poll. However, 1177 voters, or 75% said "yes". He's timed this well as a lead in to this year's elections. He knows, as does most of the country, where Labour's pressure points are.

,,, LOL, yeah. Let's hope he keeps putting the boot into Xao Helen & Co with the same gusto as he's shown with this effort.

I wish one of our eunuch American politicos had the gumption to address the reservation system in the U.S.

Bravo for Mr. Brash.

Excellent! We hope Mr. Brash will be able to fully capitalize on such a tremendous response.
