Not Dead Yet: A Response to Rachel Stewart’s Musings on Democracy
I’M A BIG FAN of Rachel Stewart’s writing. Her column in the NZ Herald has quickly become one of those “must-read” contributions to the national conversation.

It’s the way our Government treated so many Maori when they returned from war that still makes me angry all these many years later.
