MĀORI APPOINTMENTS TO COUNCIL COMMITTEES 'A LONG TIME COMING': MAYORThe five newly-minted Māori seats on four Hamilton City Council committees have been filled. Council approved the appointments on Wednesday. Four of the appointments represent iwi and one is a pan-tribal/mātāwaka appointment. Hamilton Mayor Andrew King said the appointments mark the beginning of a new era for partnership-based decision making for the city. "We're enormously proud to be at a point where we can take these brave steps towards providing meaningful representation for Māori," King said. "It's been a long time coming and we're committed to making it work.".... www.stuff.co.nz/national/107736879/mori-appointments-to-council-committees-a-long-time-coming-mayor
