So disappointing to hear Helen Clark doubling down on her #ForeshoreAndSeabed position. If it was about people's right to access the sea, how come her govt didn't extinguish exclusive Foreshore and Seabed rights held by Pākeha? I honestly can't think of a polite adjective for the utter horseshit she talks on this subject.

She was on the wrong side of history, as subsequent legislative changes made clear. It's reveals a weakness of her character that she can't see that, even a decade later.
