Maori Party - 'Our word is our bond'

The National Executive of the Maori Party has confirmed that no meeting has been organised or authorised of the National Council to discuss the decision of the Maori Party to support the Emissions Trading Scheme.

Te Orohi Paul, Co-vice President, and speaking for the National Executive; said “The Maori Party is a party of integrity. It keeps its word and we will not welch on promises already made in good faith”.

“We have had discussions at the last two National Council hui about the ETS, and have received a great deal of information from the parliamentary wing of the party, to inform us as a National Council”.

“The mischievous making from unknown individuals, whilst sensational, will not change our resolve and distract us from the important work in hand”.
