Colonial mentality alive and well

Radio NZ reports:

The head of the Foreign Affairs Select Committee of the New Zealand Parliament wants to end self government in the Cook Islands, Niue and Tokelau.

National MP John Hayes says self government in the islands is ‘nonsense stuff‘ and it should be sorted out.

I bet a lot of Cook Islanders will be absolutely incensed that this toffee-nosed git thinks he knows how to run their country for them. John Hayes really is the bad old face of the National Party.
