Quote of the week:
What New Zealanders are looking for is the way in which we can all progress.
That is not going to happen when people talk past each other. Or when people
intentionally or through ignorance misunderstand each other.
No one-on-one relationship ever truly succeeded without respect, compromise,
humility and deep communication.
It comes from Lindsay Mitchell in an open letter to Don Brash and Pita Sharples.
If these two could stop talking past each other they’d find they agree on what really matters – the need to solve the problem of Maori being over-represented in negative statistics and under-represented in the positive ones.
