As with other govt agencies, the total penetration of the Conservation Dept by insurgents ensures official support for ludicrous mana seeking rahui. To disrupt the planned holidays of hundreds because someone chanced to expire on a track is absurd. We are long overdue for counter petty rahui legislation. The msm should be callingb out this nonsense, even if mps are too intimidated to do so.
Like tikanga , rahui are given expression in New Zealand . In other words tikanga and rahui do not operate as a free standing source of law separate from common law . They are but a former maori tradition and more equivalent to spirituality which is clearly outside of the common law in NZ. If parliament can discuss maori issues , then parliament as supreme can legislate this nonsence out of legislation .
