Bring it on! A national day to celebrate the return of the light and the warming of the ground. And while we are at it... lets cast aside someone elses day of remembrance for a thwarted assassination plot and turn Guy Fawkes in to Parihaka day - a day for looking at our relationships and making plans to do better in the new year. No apologies, no brow beating just a fabby bit of growth mindset where a nation asks itself, 'what can we do to live together better?'
