In reply to Trevor Sennitt. No I miss spoke. Maniapoto don't have any stake in taranaiki oil because they took a cash settlement. They don't have any management rights. They did that.

Yeah but Maniapoto took a cash settlement. They don’t have any customary rights to the whenua.

Are we going backwards though? Last time I looked The Maori Party helped the Natz subjugate Maori leading to the massive issues of asset theft, wage theft, unprecedented housing demand, environmental degradation, Meth evictions and homelessness which has not helped Maori at all.

I’d be more supportive of Mana back because I doubt Hone would ever sell out to the Natz and probably not Labour either, therefore would be an independent voice.
