Nice spin

In the Stuff report on the Urewera trial:

Christopher Stevenson, for Signer, said his client was out of New Zealand during about a third of the time that the training camps were allegedly held.

He asked if they were really a cohesive group and were they really ”training camps”, or were they wanangas, devoted to teaching and learning?

Oh yes, it was a wananga. Hell, I’m surprised they didn’t get TEC funding.
