3 Waitangi Tribunal Report Wai 2662 Whakatohea Mandate Inquiry

4 Taiharuru: Findings on Crown breaches

• Prioritised political objective of concluding Treaty settlements over a process that was fair to Whakatōhea.

• Failed to ensure member register was accurate and appropriate before mandate vote was taken.

• Not sufficiently informed of the true levels of support and opposition to the Pre-settlement Trust mandate.

5 Taiharuru: Crown breaches

• Failed to ensure an adequate way to vote on a hapū basis.

• Approved a mandate that contains a withdrawal mechanism it acknowledges to be unfair.

• Should not have included the Mokomoko whānau claim without consent and without honouring commitments previously made.

• Incorrectly included and described the Te Kahika claimants.

6 Tērā Whānui: Recommendations

• That substantive work on the Whakatōhea negotiations be suspended until completion of independent voting process.

• Whakatōhea hapū should have opportunity to decide how to proceed in more transparent way.

If no to question 1: 2. Do you wish to see the current Treaty negotiations stopped so: a. That a mandate process be re-run from the start? OR b. That the Waitangi Tribunal can carry out an inquiry into the
