COMMENTARY

John 1st August 2009	Thanks to Maoris and other islanders as well.
Jemma 26th July 2009	Ummmm what year is this or when at least?
Xevon 9th June 2009	I am sure these stats are correct for the Maori populace, sure, but the European crime figures are only about 1 in 200 and we make up 70% of the population. I call massive error on these stats
