Quote of the week

Labour MP Kelvin Davis, commenting about Hone Harawira's comments about raping and pillaging of land, and his purported views that a repeal of the Foreshore and Seabed legislation will assist in solving problems.

We are generally dumber, sicker, poorer, more pissed, drugged and pregnant than any other group of people in New Zealand. We know the problem, but what's the solution? Well let's repeal the Foreshore and Seabed and put the F&S into Maori title. We can be dumber, sicker, poorer, more pissed, drugged and pregnant at the beach. That'll make all the difference.
