“..Iwi ‘consultation’ is a sham – and insults Maori..”

“..The Government’s six hui with iwi over the asset sales and ‘shares plus’ idea is nothing more than a waste of time.

That’s how Maori Party co-leader Tariana Turia describes the process.

It’s hard to disagree with her.

It’s hard to find a better description really.

It’s as simple as this: the Waitangi Tribunal demanded the Government slow down its asset sales programme and consult.

It’s doing that.

It’s delayed the sales.

It’s now consulting.

But the consultation is a sham.

Let’s all be honest about that..”
