    An accurate and inclusive view.
    Personally I believe Waitangi Day has become a grievance cess pool and a total waste of time and money.
    Replacing it with another "national" day wouldn't work however, people would ruin that also. What a pity so many in this country are so immature that they are intent on drowning other people out.
