At the Waitangi Day celebration on Wednesday, for many the morning’s highlight was provided by Hohepa Rudolph who hails from the small town of Pawarenga in the far North. Rudolph gently mocked his hometown during the ceremony.
“God took six days to create the earth,” he said.
“He rested on the seventh and then woke up on the eighth and said ‘s**t I forgot Pawarenga’,” sending laughter through the crowd.
The Catholic Rudolph continued with comedy, joking that when he asked his grandparents why they were always kneeling and praying, they would respond: “Because when we opened our eyes all our land was gone.”
