Dear Editor, (Sent to the Nelson Mail 15/6/18) In a referendum in the recent past, 79% of Nelson electors who voted said "No" to tribal representation on the City Council. In a blatantly racist move and in denial of democracy and the clearly expressed position of Nelson citizens, the forthcoming Council agenda include the following: "Agenda item 12 for the Nelson City Council meeting on Thursday 21 June. Approves subject to equivalent approval by Tasman District Council, ... to provide that iwi representatives be remunerated in accordance with the joint policy for the remuneration of independent persons appointed to joint committees and business units; and ... Approves subject to equivalent approval by Tasman District Council, that the remuneration for iwi representatives be set at $8000 per annum for the first term of appointment".
