BILL ENGLISH PROPOSES TAKING WAITANGI DAY 'ON THE ROAD'Prime Minister Bill English has announced he won't attend Treaty grounds on Waitangi Day. "Waitangi does not represent well the relationship between Māori and Pākehā in New Zealand," he said on Sunday. "New Zealanders, including a lot of Māori, [aren't proud of] the shenanigans that go on." Mr English is calling for Waitangi Day "to represent truly the pride New Zealand should have for achievements around the Treaty". Mr English is now considering taking Waitangi Day "on the road" if re-elected, an idea suggested to him by many after his decision earlier this year.... www.newshub.co.nz/home/election/2017/09/bill-english-proposes-taking-waitangi-day-on-the-road.html
