If you didn't see Face to Face tonight, you missed out. Kim Hill interviewed Dr Michael King (author of the Penguin History of New Zealand, among other things) - and unlike her interviews with politicians (which are by their nature hostile - the interviewees don't want to inform so much as spam their talking points), this one was actually informative.
Something Dr King suggested was a royal commission on the role of the Treaty, which would explore and define those elusive treaty principles referred to in legislation. This is a fantastic idea! It would allow everyone to have a say, which can only be healthy in a democracy. I wonder how long it will take for the government (or United Future) to steal the idea and start pushing it?
