Don Brash finally made it to speak at Massey. Its Political Society and "free speechers " are happy.
Did he say anything unexpected? No. Not really. We already know his views on Maori and the Treaty of Waitangi.
Massey University Science Society is to invite Sony Bill Williams to speak on climate change.

Why not? Massey's Politics Society invited Don Brash to speak when, whatever his topic, he would be sure to mention Hobson's Choice and the need to treat Maori "equally" -- confusing, as he always does, equality with sameness. And this despite statistics showing many Maori "treated the same" are far from equal. Think life expectancy, schooling, housing, employment, poverty, crime.
