History has some interesting twists and turns

Imagine if the Maori had missed NZ in their Western explorations - and hit Australia instead - would the Aboriginal ended up like the NZ Moriori?

Would we all be talking Dutch if Van Dieman or Dirk Hartog been taken more seriously?

or had La Perouse had a faster ship than Capt Phillip (he arrived in Botany Bay about a week later than the British fleet)

So if I was Aboriginal - I would have to ask myself - would I'd rather be speaking English, Dutch or French (not to mention Portughese or Spanish) right now.

Keeping in mind that if they weren't speaking English - they would definitely have picked up a few Japanese words back in the 40s
If the Maori had arrived here before the Brits, they'd have been all served up out of the pot!!!! Then we would have been NZ, without the shakes!!!!

I was in NZ just over a year ago and not many over there like to talk about the Moriori
but one pakeha guy said the Maori's thought they were delicious
