Oh, yes, I know there are quite a number of Maori here. But the difference in emphasis and national consciousness when your indigenous race is hovering around 1% of the population vs 15% of the population is quite marked. It's impossible for Maori to be marginalised in NZ (despite past efforts).
But you are absolutely right about Canberra being a poor example - I've never lived somewhere so homogenised.
