The NZ First leader told a crowd of supporters, "you go back 5000 years, we came with our DNA from China. Not like 55,000 years in Australia."

    If you define it as “didn’t come from somewhere else” then it’s a meaningless term since everyone outside parts of Africa came from somewhere else.

    The UN definition is explicitly about colonization, which makes sense, i.e. some people arrived, then some other people came and took over.

        You mean the declaration that was voted on by all UN members and supported by an overwhelming majority, including (eventually) NZ under John Key?

        Yeah doesn’t hold any water…
