LANDOWNER REJECTS WĀHI TAONGA CLAIM AS MAORI LORE WAS 'CONTRARY TO THE BIBLE'
A farmer opposed to having his land classed as wāhi taonga has told a court that claims made by Maori were "suspect and false in entirety" and contrary to the bible, which he said was "divinely inspired" and "incontestably true".
