Well, they did it after all. Do you think she will finally resign, or will she go kicking and screaming?

She was removed today.

So kicking and screaming then.

Slightly related, but in having a bit of a read of wikipedia on this subject, today I learnt about waka hurdling, jumping waka over wooden beams set in the water.

picture of waka (canoe) being rowed over a beam held slightly raised in the water by some stands.

View of Maori waka (canoes) in a hurdle race on the Waikato River at the Ngaruawahia Regatta. A group of people line the river banks to watch. A bridge crosses the river in the right background. Taken by Albert Percy Godber circa 1910.
