Fast-track consents may undermine Treaty settlements — Ngāi Tahu
New fast-track consenting legislation could undermine Treaty of Waitangi settlements, says Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu Kaiwhakahaere Justin Tipa.
The Government announced the Fast-track Approvals Bill last week, which aims to cut red tape for major infrastructure projects.
Tipa said the legislation could give ministers the ability to grant consents for projects which were inconsistent with the iwi’s Treaty of Waitangi settlements.
"Two-thirds of the conservation estate is situated within our Ngāi Tahu takiwā [region], so we are concerned the new consenting regime will lead to impacts on this whenua, including through the fast tracking of conservation concessions.".....

Maori sidelined in Whakapapa ski field talks - iwi
A central North Island iwi says Maori have been sidelined yet again in the latest decisions on the future of Mt Ruapehu's Whakapapa Skifield. The Government announced yesterday that it will provide seven million dollars to Ruapehu Alpine Lifts to ensure the ski season goes ahead while a buyer is sought for the business.

Freyberg High School haka was 'peaceful', not 'over-excited' - student
A Freyberg High School student has defended their haka towards ACT leader David Seymour, saying it was performed to show the pupils strongly disagree with his party's policies.
Freyberg High School principal Graeme Williams declined an interview with RNZ but said in a statement some of the students' behaviour at the end of their protest was unacceptable.
Earlier, a tikanga and haka expert backed the rangatahi, saying they upheld their tikanga while performing a haka at David Seymour. One student spat on the ground in front of the ACT leader during his visit.
Paora Sharples said spitting in haka did not break tikanga.

I can only assume Karanama Ruru is from Canterbury with such a one-eyed view of the Waitangi Tribunal.
Partnering for our tamariki? Why is there such a crisis over Maori childcare. Clearly they are socially incompetent when it comes to raising their children. Given that the post colonials and others are all bit ousted on alleged racial/cultural grounds then the profile of Maori incompetence is clear.
Seems like fostering is about to become big biz in Whakatane. I wonder how the proposal to allow cross cultural care will impinge on anticpated maori profits.
The leaseholders might care to read up about the lease experience of the notable author who had a bach on Kawhia Harbour (wrote about Lovelock).
One of the new marae in Auckland is leased to maori. What are the chances of that ever terminating?
re 11th. Presumably maori perceive no advantge to themselves from the development to date of Whangarei harbour. I do not know what activity they think generates the revenue to provide all those cosy state houses, a considerable improvemnt on erth floor whares without water, electricity, showers or toilets.
re 12th I was initially staggered that NZ Engineering is to embrace maori world view. Engineers used to be a markedly rational lot. But on thinking about it the standard of engineering in NZ has sunk so low, with a multitude of earthquake under designs in recent decades, hopelessly underestimated projects, constant unanticipated work (Auckland rail ballast),poor execution (Wellington rail wires and gauge), endless defective building practices and materials, then the easy going undefined maori world view would seem to fit admirably. It seems, like all others, engineers are terrified of cancellation, especially with all those super wealthy maori corporations as likely clients. And presumably the groundwork was done prior the election. I was once proud to be a Registered Engineer but would now find it hard to hold my head high even if a Chartered Engineer. Maori world view, like tikanga and te ao, is anything maori care to declare it. To my father's non brainwashed generation especially, the maori world view was a topic of near universal contempt if not derision.
re 13th. If a problem with a non trace maori child is reported in Whakatane will the call be diverted to Oranga Tamariki? Or will the govt subsidised sub agency devote effort to non maori? Will they have any non maori contacts? Presumably payments are involved for fostering. With so many maori children out farmed to relatives etc anyway by family agreement, the scene would seem to be set for rorts, with payment for arrangements likely anyway.
I trust the staff will be occuied bewteen calls. Not idle as so many maori employments (cone shepherds, security guards etc) are.
Re 13th "Iwi takes call centre role from Oranga Tamariki" - where does this 'precedent' stop? Will tribes take on other Govt roles? Is private/personal information safe? In reality it is just a sly co-governance move IMHO
If iwi take calls because that is allegedly the best system it is another indication of just what a mess Maori child rearing is. Remember - the brown kids that face boot camp?
As for Luxon and treaty settlements - when oh when is he going to acknowledge they are such a rort? He seems to be more embedded in that system and support of the brown folk by the day.
Pale male and stale actively supporting the brown clowns. That seems to be the catchphrase of current anxiety politics.
re 14th I have no idea what the Borrin Foundation is but I trust they realise they are sponsoring a potential revolutionary.
How recipients of the likes of the $870 000 to study the relation of maori with early Opos and keep a straight face is beyond me. If it were me I would be terrified of not being able to maintain the farce. But I guess when it comes to matters maori te ao/tikanga accountability rules apply.It reminds me of some I "worked" with. They spent more energy evading work than the work would involve. "Studying" these esoteric subjects could prove more demanding than real useful study.
The so called law scholar is free to make up whatever she wants then publish it. Rather like writing a novel and calling it the truth. What mangled language will she use or wi it need to be standard English.Clearly she is convincing enough Io extract money from a naive or a poorly researched institution.
What does she mean by Pakeha.(nasty word, says a lot about her already).and pakeha law?
Regrettably i can not congratulate her:only find it all sad and pathetic another naive young person happily being corrupted by lies hate and racial politics.
re 15th. Frederick Maning in his book gives an excellet description of how maori trained him as "their pakeha". Recommended for that and many other reasons. (Unfortunately his private, notable and topical, quote about maori characteristics, based on decades of close experience, including a court akin the Tribunal, does not appear in the book.)
Where is the obtuse speak of so many moderns taught? Is it just in Maori Studies? It is their blood quantum which enables so many trace maori to claim innumerable benefits not availble to purer breds.
Where there is a moderate maori prescence, with state funded marae rebel coordination centres available, extensive whanau interconnection, maoi can easily swamp polls. And especially where there is an element of tweaking pakeha for the sake of.
The more of the nonsense I read in articles such as above the more aggro I feel against Maori. Sorry but that is just the way it is.
"The Government announced the Fast-track Approvals Bill last week, which aims to cut red tape for major infrastructure projects".
Fast track not fast enough. Should be at "warp speed".
It is not a surprise that kids in schools are being taught that white people are bad people who colonise and steal land. These are the very comments from the high school kids interviewed by msm. They are being taught to hate just like the hitler youth were against the jewish people. Unfortunately these indoctrinated kids will be able to vote in a few years, which could bring back some very dangerous people into govt again. Why can't the current govt negotiate with the uk to give people ride of abode to go back if they have british ancestry. I for one would be gone faster than you could say " airport"
