It looks like that nice man john Key isn't so nice after all. First, he destroys a good Treaty settlement to pander to the rednecks in his own party. Now, he's telling racist "jokes" about Maori:
Prime Minister John Key has joked about Tuhoe being cannibals during a speech to a tourism audience in Auckland.Tuhoe aren't impressed. We shouldn't be either. Key's election as National Party leader was supposed to end the redneckery of the English-Brash years. But I guess nothing ever changes - National is a redneck party, and their leader reflects that.[...]
In a speech on Thursday to about 200 people from the tourism sector, Mr Key alluded to the dispute in a joke.
"The good news is that I was having dinner with Ngati Porou as opposed to their neighbouring iwi, which is Tuhoe, in which case I would have been dinner," he said, "which wouldn't have been quite so attractive."
