Thread: Tuhoe Banish Hunters

I think it highly likely that hunting access will be issued on a user pays basis and personally I do not struggle with Tuhoe doing so if it is properly administered and the charges are fair and equitable. The crown in giving the management of Te Uruwera back to Tuhoe as part of the settlement with them acknowledged that Tuhoe never gave up their up their ownership of Te Uruwera and never were a party to the Treaty of Waitangi. As much as I am a strong advocate for a non discriminatory, classless, one nation New Zealand, my feeling is that they have the right to treat the area in the same way that any other owner of private land can and that they equally have the right to either allow free access or to charge a fee. We may not like it but mark my words "so it will be".
