MAORI COUNCIL TO TAKE GOVERNMENT ON – WATER CLAIM
“Let me be clear, Maori have a guardianship, ownership and protection role when it comes to the nations freshwater ways
IN all reality that work needs to start now, we need to set much more ambitious targets and it must be led on partnership with Maori.
“Next week the New Zealand Maori Council will be establishing a national taskforce on water – if it is one thing, we have learnt from the recommendations of the Waitangi Tribunal Report is its taken too long to get to this stage. The taskforce will be the first stage of what I expect to become a joint working group between Maori and the Crown and will also look at the strongest case for a high court test. IN terms of the latter we are well advanced in that case assessment I expect to be making announcements soon. And everything will be on the table from the High Court test case right through to RMA reform, a much more detailed plan of Maori engagement, allocation rights, ownership and more.”....
