False claims

The media has recently been awash with claims by Maori of their rights; the Tupuna Maunganui Authority's deforestation program and the interminable Ihumatao Otuataua Stonefields occupation being pertinent examples.

The media publicity seems to have accorded them some validity but they have only confirmed the avoidance or ignorance by those Maori of history.

The reluctance of government or local authorities to become involved in the issues is a woeful avoidance of their responsibilities to the public.
