I can still remember, how we used to get along just fine
But now it’s all about your race
Don’t matter the shade of your face
A smidge of Maori gets you ‘cross the line
The Maori Party makes me shiver
With every racist chant delivered
Hakas in the Beehive
Hikoi marches, nah…let’s drive!
There’s only one thing to decide
The future or a past denied
Go forth as one, or watch us cry
The day… New Zealand dies
So bye, bye, Manurewa marae
Drove my ute to Auckland airport, time to reach for the sky
Escape the bad vibes, with heavy heart and a sigh
Singin' this'll be the day that I fly
This'll be the day that I fly
How did it all fall apart?
To find that out you have to start
Way back in nineteen-seventy-five
The Treaty of Waitangi Act
Spawned a racist neo-Marxist pact
Which let bold Maori activism thrive
Our weak MPs went full-on woke
So too judges and most media folk
Academics all went native
Wrote courses culturally creative
Common sense was out of luck
Equal rights treated like muck
And I know we’ll all look like schmucks
The day… New Zealand dies
So bye, bye, Manurewa marae
Warm and fuzzies with my cuzzie, got a tear in my eye
Lost all Waipareira Trust, their integrity died
Singin' this'll be the day that I fly
This'll be the day that I fly
Hope flickers in the halls of power
Is it time to ACT, cometh the hour?
Are Treaty Principles the way to go?
The public they can have their say
But those in charge still have their way
Seems the die is cast, the captain’s call is no
Submissions quickly fade away
But voters scorned will have their day
Fail to listen to the streets
End up in opposition seats
Democracy’s close to the edge
On the thin end of the wedge
We’re lemmings tumbling off the ledge
The day… New Zealand dies
So bye, bye, Manurewa marae
I’m frettin’ at the check-in, second thoughts running high
But there’s no turning back; p’raps some American pie
Singin' this'll be the day that I fly…......goodbye!

Today I see another anti-bill article this time from descendants of a treaty translator who have interpreted what he meant. It is a relentless campaign by msm and local govt (intimidated?) and the radicals, with Nats and NZ First thinking their best path to survival is to take the course they have. The campaign gives the impression to all and sundry that almost all in NZ are opposed to the bill (bar ACT and some others). Only a token opposing view is published. Indeed if many leave this country the radicals et al would be pleased.
Brilliant, Derek !!!
Indeed delighted - till the money runs out. They do not think
that far ahead.
And all brought to you by the “Empire of the City’s” democracy illusion, where 51% can dictate to 49%, where elections are really ‘selections’, where red and blue, left or right are both proxies of the ‘hidden hand’, where two wolves and a sheep vote for tonight’s dinner. All democracies eventually fail and lead to tyranny, and here we are.
