Māori lawyer warns belittling of Māori women not on
A Māori lawyer has taken offence after being cursed at by a representative of the Iwi Leaders' Group.
Annette Sykes says Willie Te Aho swore at her while running a consultation meeting with the group last night in Rotorua.
She says, "Willie swore at me, but after he thought about it, he knew it was wrong."
"We were debating, but a word of warning not to discriminate women," she says.
Last week the Iwi Leaders' Group began a series of consultation meetings throughout the country regarding Te Ture Whenua reform and water rights. Sykes says Māori rights are being tested.
"Don't belittle Māori women. We have our thoughts and views on issues. Māori men shouldn't criticise us just because they don't agree with our views," says Sykes…..
