NGĀPUHI SETTLEMENT "PRIORITY" FOR NEW MINISTER OF TREATY NEGOTIATIONS ANDREW LITTLE

With the country's 52nd government officially sworn-in Andrew Little becomes the new Minister of Treaty Negotiations. He says he's ready for the challenge.

Sworn-in as the new Treaty Negotiations Minister, Andrew Little welcomes the challenge.

"This is a huge honour and a huge privilege. I'm thrilled with the responsibilities I've been given. I know there are going to be huge challenges in the Treaty Negotiations Portfolio but I relish that."
Top of his priority list is the Ngāpuhi settlement.

"Ngāpuhi is probably one fo the tractable issues that we've got to get through so that would be a high priority for me and I give the hard problems the biggest priority because I like to fix them."
He replaces National's Chris Finlayson who during his time signed-off 59 settlements. The pair will meet in the next few weeks.

"I'll be looking to my predecessors for advice and guidance. I'm not going to do this on my own and in the end we're all motivated to do what's right for New Zealand and for the Treaty.”.......

Unlikely he could do a worse job than that corrupt traitor Finlayson, but he'll no doubt give it his best shot at giving away more $billions. Just demanding proof and the truth would squash 99.9% of the claims.  Shame old weasel face never thought to ask.
