IHUMĀTAO: PRIME MINISTER JACINDA ARDERN SLOW ON INTERVENTION - LEADING MĀORI FIGURE MATTHEW TUKAKITukaki wants something more resolute put into place, but in the meantime is calling for police to leave protesters alone. "What we need to do is ask the police to kindly leave. We have the Māori wardens here on site. Whānau are cooperating and everything is calm and peaceful. "What has happened with the police coming in is we have dialled up that tension just a little bit. I understand they are here to enforce a court order but we are also pitting people and whānau against whānau when it comes to this matter." He said police don't always need to get involved. "Māori can sort out their own problems. What we don't need is always the intervention of uniformed police officers representing essentially the Crown to somehow keep us safe and secure, but arrest us if things get a little bit hoha."..... www.newshub.co.nz/home/politics/2019/07/ihum-tao-prime-minister-jacinda-ardern-slow-on-intervention-leading-m-ori-figure-matthew-tukaki.html

PEENI HENARE WARNS GOVERNMENT BUYING IHUMĀTAO LAND WILL 'UNDERMINE EVERY TREATY SETTLEMENT DONE TO DATE'In an interview with Newshub Nation, the Whānau Ora Minister and representative for Tāmaki Makarau warned doing so would set a precedent. "If the Government steps in to buy this land back, we undermine every Treaty settlement that's been done to date," said Henare. "We then allow relitigation of settlements that have been done in the past and are we prepared for that? I'll leave that question there." But when pressed on whether the Government would allow this to happen, Henare refused to rule it out...... www.newshub.co.nz/home/shows/2019/07/peeni-henare-warns-government-buying-ihumatao-land-will-undermine-every-treaty-settlement-done-to-date.html
