The two Ngāi Tahu representatives, Kara Edwards from Makaawhio and Veronica Baldwin from Ngāti Waewae, did not attend the board meeting last week, and Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Waewae chairman Francois Tumahai, who holds a community seat, was also absent.
The Greymouth Star understands Ngāi Tahu are unhappy with Dr Morfett's reappointment and links with Forest and Bird."
Bet they put an invoice in though

Being of Ngai Tahu heritage @Pengy, I am deeply and irreparably hurt by your insinuation that for our people money has sway over feelings. In the name of my paternal great great grandmother Mere Titope Kaikanui Pakinui I lay claim to a large (but fair) amount of cash as reparation from you. Failure to meet this claim will cause me to call upon the spirit of my ancestor to beat you up with her patu.Quote:

Katie Milne will be good value on there, she's pretty no nonsense and is a hunter
There is another angle to this: Govt. departments and related bodies, as a result of the 1984 Labour Government's decree that all decisions must take into account "the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi" (and it still hasn't been determined what this means!) has been interpreted by some Conservation Boards that iwi "must" be represented. The Southland Board, to it's credit, doesn't believe this: they want the best people on the Board.
AGAIN....there was more than one lot of fellas signing that treaty...it doesnt only give benefit to brown bums...although it would seem many brown bums receive benefits ....
when a government wakes up and grows a pair of balls the treaty can be honoured PROPERLY .....not the current cherry picking to suit the few over the many.

Im not racist....human beings are a race.....Im not a colourist...that the girl down at the salon who makes nanas hair blue...Im not a tribalist either,having mixed ancestory makes that one problamatic...
this country we live in at present is spouting the need to make te reo compulsory in schools and govt wants large proportion of population to speak it......yet at same time we have large proportion of population who cant speak KIWI English language.....and thats OK..... hello folks priorities a bit stuffed up there I believe.
when I first read the title I thought someone was referring to bus drivers contraception method....pulls out to avoid children ....
Fcuk; I may be in big trubbil. Och Mon, I have several varietys of haggis munchers in my dna, but I'm a kiwi. Bern called a white arse more than once and not offended in the slightest. Perhaps blokes like me n Mickey duck had better start carrying around some violins and white hankies for the sensitive poodles out there.
there was never a te reo version you cant find one....it doesnt exist BECAUSE the term te reo wasnt invented yet....
and the one that is signed is only legal document...but if you want to get all precious fine by me.
the Maori never had a written language till a white fella made one.......so argument is moot point.
if you offended by the term brown bum......how would you like people of NZ origon with darkish skin be referred to??? and you better make sure ALL of the people who fit that discription agree......
as explained by legal definition Im a maori.....but unless Ive been in sun a lot you wouldnt think so...
Im NZ native so maybe Im a maori...who knows who friggin cares????
Im A 27TH GENERATION x BRED k1w1 and proud of it....tribal loyalties or skin color doesnt matter a flying hoot...unless you are all precious and feel down trodden because your too lazy to get off your arse (what ever color) and live life,get a job and earn a living and prefer a hand out.
Och grand stuff there, we haggis munchers need to stick together hen!Quote:
