Like Maori are not yet ready to have their Moari seats removed from parliament. But the time will come when both will need to happen. That time will be when we decide to have a new flag. There is still some water to go under the bridge between the races before we all stand united under one flag as a Republic. I have always thought we had our own monarchy in the Moari King. In the future we could have both our own president and monarchy. Like I said.. we have a way to go yet before we become a Republic. It would be great though if we could step up to the plate before Australia.Rusty Kanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09549765146351589892noreply@blogger.com
