“Nick Smith has launched a petition which, if granted, would effectively gut the agreement. To do so in the midst of the select committee process smacks of populist politics. To try to turn it into a “us and them” debate is not only an insult to Rore Stafford and the trust, but it also threatens to corrode the goodwill that exists between iwi and local government in the top of the South Island.” An incredibly powerful and important Opinion piece from Tasman local Philip Woollaston, former Mayor of Nelson and former Minister of Conservation. The Trust has been overwhelmed by the incredible submissions and messages in support of the Bill from whānau, community and partners alike. This support has come from all corners and shows the depth of understanding of this kaupapa for Ngā Uri and our shared region. Ngā mihi nui Mr Woollasten and all who have lent their voice in support. Please share these words – they are important. https://lnkd.in/etPT-8AW #tehereānuku #makingthetenthswhole See less
