Influence Waitakere Council to include Maori seats
Influence Waitakere City Council to include Maori Seats
E nga iwi, e nga reo, e nga rangatira, tena koutou, tena koutou, tena tatou katoa.
He protehi tenei na matou ki te tino kuare me te porangi o te kaunihera o Waitakere. He mahi nanakia nei ki te iwi Maori.
Waitakere City Council has decided not to include in their submission (on behalf of all residents within Waitakere City) Maori seats at the governance level. Instead they have proposed that a Maori forum be established, which is the same as we have today and ineffective for a SuperCity Model.
IHI (Iwi Have
Influence) West is contacting Bob Harvey for speaking
rights at the Council meeting to restate our kaupapa on Mana
Whenua and Maori representation and insist that Waitakere
City Council include this as part of their submission.
Council needs to recognise the many West Auckland
communities that joined the hikoi to support the inclusion
of 3 guaranteed Mana Whenua and Maori Seats...
Please join us in a rally to lobby the Councillors to include guaranteed Mana Whenua and Maori representation in their submission.

Mauria mai to kaha me to reo ki te
