A letter from Wiremu:
Translation:
Good Morning JacindaI want you to stay as our Chief forever. Then I can be just like my father.
I will never work and can smoke pot and go fishing whenever I want to.
I am glad you are taking money off white people to give to us.
I don’t like white people.
Goodbye
Wiremu, age 9
We’ve set up an email address so you too can submit letters to the Prime Minister. We will format your letter in a suitable child-like font, perhaps make it look like crayon, so she will read it, then we will publish it and send it on your behalf.
Send your letters to lettertopm[at]thebfd.co.nz and we will send it on your behalf, complete with stars, glitter and the works.
If the Prime Minister wants to treat us like children, then we will speak to her as a child does. Maybe we will then get some action on the things that matter.
