MĀORI AREN'T SCARY, KAUMĀTUA SAYS, AS HUI HEARS CASE IN SUPPORT OF MĀORI WARDS FOR COUNCILS
Iwi, hapū and whānau representatives pushing for Māori wards on the Waipā District Council have met face-to-face with the elected members charged with making the decision.
“Māori wards aren’t separatism. Māori representation in local government means councils working in partnership with Māori, not separate from them.”
“It’s not seven to one, not seven to three and so in my submission to you, I am asking for four Māori wards.”
