Duncan Garner: "$450 Million For One Hapu?" - Port of Tauranga dispute


New Zealand has officially entered dangerous territory with an extraordinary compensation demand linked to one of our most critical export hubs. In this episode of Duncan Garner, Editor-in-Chief, we look into the shocking legal submissions connected to the Port of Tauranga expansion. Representatives for Ngāti Kuku are demanding between 335 million and 475 million dollars over 35 years for cultural impacts and revenue sharing. Duncan labels it a total standover and looks at how these massive financial demands threaten national productivity and scare off foreign investment.

This is extortion, there is no other word for it, and it seems to be endemic and sadly no one in government seems both willing and able to upset a the small but very vocal minority of people who openly see it as "business as normal".
"You get what you reward", the rewards are very clear and until it's stopped it will continue. So, who has the sphericals to butt heads with the extortionists?
