They want to protect their rohe moana (ocean), which they say is already in “a critical state”. Te Rimu Trust is proposing a barging facility near the mouth of the Karakatuwhero River in Te Araroa which it says will enable logs to be transported to ports in Gisborne or Tauranga by water, rather than by road. Te Rimu Trust chairman Richard Clarke presented to the council’s regional transport committee yesterday on the decade-long plan that was out for consultation in April. The trust’s submission called for the council to include the potential for “large- scale bulk and containerised coastal shipping” activities in its long-term plan, and “funded activities” for feasibility studies into coastal barging. Asked by committee members how much of the community was on board with the proposal and whether he could show support from local marae, Mr Clarke said he would prefer not to talk about it. “I think it’s inevitable that there will be issues along the way and that’s part of this type of development one has to work through with the local community,” he said. “Also, you must understand that Te Rimu is a substantial landowner with two kilometres of foreshore, and we are also the whanau hapu from that area. So with 2000 beneficiaries, we do have some mana in the district.

Originally planned for 19 September, the election was postponed due to Covid-19. As well as electing Members of Parliament, New Zealand’s electorate voted on two referendums: one to decriminalise the recreational use of marijuana; the other to allow some terminally ill people to request assisted dying. The election was commonly dubbed the “Covid election”, with the coronavirus pandemic the main issue for voters throughout the campaign. Jacinda Ardern, the incumbent Prime Minister from the Labour Party, had been widely praised for her handling of the pandemic and the “hard and early” plan introduced by her Government in the early stages. She led in the polls throughout the campaign. Preliminary results from the election show Ms Ardern won a landslide victory, securing 49.1 per cent of the votes and a projected 64 seats in the new (53rd) Parliament: a rare outright parliamentary majority.

  • Maori Party Co-Leader Ejected from Parliament After Performing Haka in Racism
    _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Māori party co-leader ejected from parliament after performing haka in racism row Rawiri Waititi had accused the opposition of racism and was asked to sit down by the speaker, but instead performed the ceremonial dance Tess McClure in Christchurch Wed 12 May 2021 Māori party co-leader Rawiri Waititi has been thrown out of New Zealand’s parliament after denouncing rhetoric from the opposition as racist and performing a haka. Waititi said the opposition was inciting racism across New Zealand through its stance on Māori healthcare. The haka is a ceremonial dance for Māori, the indigenous people of New Zealand – it can represent a challenge, and is sometimes performed in moments of conflict. The altercation comes after weeks of escalating debate, in which the opposition National party has accused the government of a “separatist agenda” and creating “two systems by stealth”. Their arguments began after the government announced expanded, independent health services for Māori, who typically have far worse health outcomes than other ethnic groups. “This has incited racism with venom towards Māori, because of this type of propaganda and rhetoric – we won’t stand for it any more,” Waititi said, speaking to reporters outside. “The opposition leader has been constantly bashing Māori to gain the votes of her Pākehā [non-Māori New Zealander] constituents. That’s all it is.” Waititi was ejected from the House by speaker Trevor Mallard, after making a series of points of order. “Over the past two weeks there has been racist propaganda and rhetoric towards tangata whenua [indigenous people]. That not only is insulting to tangata whenua, but diminishes the mana [dignity] of this House,” Waititi said.

  • Ardern Set for Second Term Collins's Campaign
    HUGO Assessing the economic and political environmentvision in New Zealand Confidential to October 16 2020 HUGO members Ardern set for second term Page 2 Labour is expected to win a second term in Saturday’s election. Polls show its support remained robust through the final fortnight of the campaign around 47-48%, which would just be enough to deliver 60-62 seats in a 120 seat parliament. National is marooned at around 30%. Collins’s campaign dissolves Page 2 Judith Collins’s hopes of running down Labour in the home straight crumbled into a mess of ineffective campaign appearances and distracting gaffes in the last fortnight. She served only to highlight the yawning gap in popularity between Ardern and everyone else. Her future as leader is unclear. Full coalition or just supply and confidence deal? Page 3 The main point of tension in Saturday night’s result and the ensuing wait for a final result after the counting of special votes will be whether Labour can govern alone and whether Jacinda Ardern wants Labour to govern alone. The polls suggest an atypical one-party-wins result is possible, but the PM may choose John Key-style to form a coalition for coalescing’s sake. Extraordinary early turnout may help Labour Close to two million of the expected turnout of up to 2.8 million voters will already have voted by tonight. Previous election results showed a high early vote was correlated with a slightly higher youth turnout and a higher vote for Labour, with specials helping boost the Greens. RMA, Transport and employment law reform in focus Page 4 A repeal of the Resource Management Act and its replacement with a Natural and Built Environments Act and a Resource Planning Act will be a focus of coalition negotiations, along with the likely shape of employment law reform and planned minimum wage increases.

Think the ‘fiscal envelope’ in the 1990s or the foreshore and seabed imbroglio in the 2000s. Judith Collins’s decision to pursue as a potentially ‘separatist’ agenda the ideas outlined in the He Puapua report suggests another such period is upon us. Robertson eyes higher debt target in long run Page 2 Budget 2021 is now set in stone ahead of its delivery next Thursday and will reflect the fiscally cautious approach signalled by Grant Robertson in February. But the tone of the government’s comments is shifting towards a higher debt track for the 2022 and 2023 Budgets ahead of the next election, particularly as the majority Labour government starts to flex its muscles with a range of major reforms that would enable big investment in repairing massive infrastructure deficits. Migration settings face tightening in new approach Page 4 Kris Faafoi will deliver a major speech late on Monday with a tighter approach to migration settings, both for residency and skilled work visas as the government grapples with infrastructure shortages and a desire to reverse downward pressure on wages at the low end. It sees the covid shock to inward migration as an opportunity for a reset that reduces the pain for employers crying out for workers.
