Terenga Paraoa
Marae
Whangarei
Approximately 400 people travelled
to Whangarei last night and today for the hui called by the
government about the foreshore and seabed.
The Kaumatua of Whangarei Terenga Paraoa marae had agreed that the Government would attend and be treated with respect according to tikanga. Marae Trustees Chairman Tom Parore says “We reached the conclusion today that it was in everyone’s best interests that the hui be cancelled.”
“Discussion amongst several Iwi prior to the scheduled start time indicated the level of anger against the Government was so high that it would have been impossible to proceed”, he concluded.
