Iwi disappointed council deferring Taupō water management agreement
The Tūwharetoa Māori Trust Board says it is disappointed the Taupō District Council has chosen to draw out the process for its joint water management agreement with the iwi by deferring it to the next council.

Providers must comply with the Privacy Act and be subject to regular reviews of their privacy protections. However, the rules also include “specific kaitiakitanga requirements when handling Māori information,” based on cultural principles of guardianship.
An independent evaluation claims the biometric technology generally proposed for use, such as facial recognition, does not unfairly affect Māori or Pasifika users......

Incredibly maori will constitute more than a third of the persons at Indigenous Peoples week at Osaka. The others will presumably be bemused by the obvious fractional degree of maor blood. For a group who forever plead hard up and receive huge govt support, incluidng tens of millions subsidy of Insurgency Coordination Centres (marae), it is incredible how maori find money and time for junkets. Presumably some tax free maori charity poney will have been contributed, effectively more state subsidy..
The Taupo development promising.As early demonstrated by the Maunga Aothority in Auckland, the fact that co governance/co management is effectively maori control must be endlessly emphasised.
It is tantalising to know why so many are kicked out of state houses. Is it drugs, non payment, damage, filth, overcrowding, bedlam, dogs or what? I suspect PI figure more than maori because they do not have Treaty based insurgency coordination networks sure to create supportive trouble.
