Matua Kahurangi: Iwi heritage claims on private land are a racist rort

If you thought co-governance was bad, wait until you hear about this latest racket. Across Auckland, iwi are quietly working with councils to declare random chunks of privately owned land “culturally significant” and homeowners aren’t even told why.
