I have already written to the Minister suggesting that Nov 5th should be renamed Parihaka Day in NZ, and declared a public holiday. Apparently it needs more people to endorse this idea for the Government to take notice. Do you think it a good idea for saying “let’s not forget and never let this happen again”?
What are you waiting for, write to your MP, the PM or Minister!
