The price we pay for the piper

• Maori Party wants to make te reo "compulsorily available" in schools
• Turia wants a post election agreement with a governing party to include a review of the Maori Development ministry, Te Puni Kokiri
• were now more comfortable with the blue party

And so it goes on as the 'in for a penny, might as well go for the throat' natives stake new claims on the taxpayer.

All because the Nats are willing to ditch all principles they held dear for decades to remain in power. Such is the price we have to pay.
