AUCKLAND IWI NGĀI TAI TO ARGUE IN SUPREME COURT FOR EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS TO RANGITOTO, MOTUTAPUAn Auckland iwi is taking its bid for exclusive rights to commercial operations on two Hauraki Gulf islands to the highest court in the country. Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki Tribal Trust has claimed rangatiratanga, exclusive rights, to conduct commercial tours on the Rangitoto and Motutapu motu (island) in the Hauraki Gulf for at least five years. The iwi lost challenges in both the High Court and then the Court of Appeal over the Department of Conservation's issuing of five-year tourism concessions to Fullers and the Motutapu Island Restoration Trust on Rangitoto and Motutapu Islands. Now the iwi has been granted leave to appeal to the Supreme Court on August 14 and 15..... www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=12104050
