Peters says no to 'dangerous settlement' of Ihumātao
New Zealand First leader Winston Peters has used a speech at Orewa to call protesters objecting to a housing development at Ihumātao "malcontents who got so much unjustified publicity, sticking mainly in the throat of traditional Māori".
He says his party said no to Labour "three times" during the search for a solution to the situation at Ihumātao, and refused a request from its coalition partner to invoke the "agree to disagree" clause.
Peters says Labour will do a deal over Ihumātao if elected - and that deal would cause a "domino effect".
"If you don't want a new wave of claims on previously settled Treaty [of Waitangi] claims, it's in your hands... If the Crown weakens its resolve after the election you just watch the flood of action on previously settled Treaty claims.......

Nelson Māori Ward unworkable under 'discriminatory' legislation, say councillors
Nelson is unlikely to have a Māori ward for the 2022 election, with the council citing “discriminatory laws” as a reason not to initiate the move.
At a Nelson City Council meeting on Tuesday, councillors approved a recommendation to not introduce a Māori ward. However, they also supported seeking an amendment to current legislation “to ensure the legal requirements to establish a Māori ward are the same as a general ward”.
The recommendation included a clause for Mayor Rachel Reese to write to Local Government Minister Nanaia Mahuta and Department of Internal Affairs chief executive Paul James, asking for a change to the 2001 Local Electoral Act.
Under the current rules, any decision to set up a Māori ward can trigger a public ballot if it is demanded by at least five per cent of electors.....

Death, mana and Peter Ellis: lawyer Natalie Coates
It will be the first time in Aotearoa that a conviction is appealed by a dead person.
Ellis' lawyer Natalie Coates spoke to Saturday Morning about the case and the cultural significance of the precedent.
She used an argument based on tikanga - that both Māori and Pākehā have mana in death and if the appeal was successful, this would affect his mana and that of his whānau.
Tikanga (Māori customary practice) is increasingly recognised in legislation and by the courts as important, but Ellis' appeal is being seen as a landmark case. So how and why should tikanga be woven into our legal system?.....
