Podcasts about treaty settlement

The Treaty Negotiations Minister admits people are losing patience on a Ngāpuhi settlement, but says they want it to last. New Zealand First is launching a Bill, proposing a one-and-done treaty settlement for the largest iwi, rather than multiple hapu settlements. Paul Goldsmith says that although he sympathises with the desire for a faster resolution, if you want an enduring settlement, you need people to be prepared to settle. He told Mike Hosking that the settlement has to have the support of around 200,000 to 300,000 people, which has been the challenge in the past. Goldsmith says that they have a good plan now, and they're making good progress on the work that's currently underway. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

New Zealand First says the country can no-longer afford a drawn-out Treaty settlement with the largest iwi. The party's drafting legislation to require a single settlement with Ngāpuhi, rather than multiple agreements. However, Treaty Negotiations Minister Paul Goldsmith has signalled he's open to settlements with smaller groups within iwi. NZ First MP Shane Jones told Mike Hosking the $20 million process is holding up Whangarei Hospital redevelopments. He says one group is hijacking the claim by introducing notions of sovereignty at the cost of the taxpayer. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The commitments that public organisations are subject to under treaty settlements are being treated like transactions, not relationships, says Auditor-General John Ryan, who briefed the Māori Affairs Committee on the issue this week. Go to this episode on rnz.co.nz for more details

Ngāpuhi hapū want to move forward towards treaty settlement, if it is done on their terms and on the basis that they have not ceded sovereignty to the crown. Treaty negotiations minister Paul Goldsmith spoke to Charlotte Cook. 

The government is pushing ahead with a treaty settlement one hapū says will strip it of its right to justice.  The Supreme Court last week found in favour of an earlier Waitangi Tribunal ruling that land in Waikato should be returned to Wairarapa Moana, despite them not being mana whenua.  But a settlement for the wider Ngāti Kahunugunu ki Wairarapa Tāmaki Nui-a-Rua iwi, which is due to have its third reading today, will extinguish Wairarapa Moana's challenges to the Tribunal.  Wairarapa Moana Incorporated chair Kingi Smiler says the move is similar to the Foreshore and Seabed, legislating away its right to justice.  He spoke to Corin Dann.  

A Wairarapa hapū says a Supreme Court ruling means it should be removed from a proposed treaty settlement that's in its final stages.  The Supreme Court this week ruled in favour of Waiarapa Moana in a landmark case, which could potentially require the Crown to return land occupied by the Maraetai Power Station in Waikato.  But a settlement due to have its final reading in Parliament could extinguish Wairarapa Moana's chance to have its case heard - which it says would be the Foreshore and Seabed all over again.  Māori news reporter Jamie Tahana spoke to Corin Dann.   

Ngāti Maniapoto is describing an apology and treaty settlement as a fresh start for relations with the Crown.  The prime minister travelled to Te Rohe Pōtae - the King Country - yesterday to apologise for more than 150 years of treaty breaches.  Jamie Tahana was at Te Kuiti Pā.  

It's a new era for Aotearoa's most remote population - the Chatham Islands. One of its iwi Ngāti Mutunga o Wharekauri has struck an agreement in principle for a treaty settlement with the Crown. The milestone came during Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern's first trip to the Chathams to open the archipelago's very own museum. Our political reporter Anneke Smith filed this story from the easternmost point of New Zealand.

The repatriation of art and artefacts to and from our cultural institutions, is one of the main issues up for discussion at this year's annual Art Crime Symposium. Academics and researchers will hear papers on topics that range from the return of taonga through the Treaty Settlement process, how to repatriate stolen and problematic artefacts and specimens, and what exactly is "the good faith buyer" defence? Delivering a paper on Repatriation will be art crime expert Arthur Tompkins. Lynn Freeman spoke to him and to fellow expert, author and member of the Art Crime Research Trust, Penelope Jackson. Penelope says that Repatriation as a theme was an obvious one. The 2022 Art Crime Symposium is on Saturday (5 November) at City Gallery, Wellington. NB: There is a free ticket to the symposium for one of our listeners who's like to attend. Please email artcrimenz@gmail.com and tell them in one sentence why you want to attend. It needs to be in to them by 5pm on the 2nd of November.

The Treaty Negotiations Minister says there's no way a Taihape farm set aside for a settlement can be returned right now to the community.  Taihape locals pitched in 30 years ago to set up the 13 hectare farm next to the old Taihape College, and want it back. However, seven years ago the Ministry of Education added it to the Treaty Settlement land bank, so it can now only be released if there is no iwi interest.  Treaty Negoatiations Minister Andrew Little told reporter Meriana Johnsen he can't release this property.  [audio_play] Local iwi Ngāti Hauiti said in a statement the school has access to farmland for education purposes while the Treaty of Waitangi Settlement process continues.   

Where does all that treaty settlement money go? We look at how one iwi is using it to lift the health and welfare of its people. 

At least three hapū have formally asked the government to stop negotiating the Whakatōhea Treaty settlement with its pre-settlement trust.  The Trust recently won a majority vote to represent the iwi in talks with the Crown, but official documents reveal it continues to face widespread opposition. Te Aniwa Hurihanganui reports.  

The head of the Maori fishing authority Te Ohu Kaimoana says new restrictions to save endangered dolphins will destroy livelihoods and could undermine promises under the Treaty of Waitangi. The new rules will, from October, see extensions to areas where set-netting and trawling is illegal on the West Coast of the North Island, and areas in the South Island. Under the 1989 Maori Fisheries Act the Crown agreed to give Maori 10 percent of all existing quota, and later 20 percent of the commercial fishing quota for new species. But Te Ohu Kaimoana chief executive, Dion Tuuta, told our reporter Te Aniwa Hurihanganui the changes would clearly undermine the settlement.

Former New Zealand First MP Tuariki Delamere has joined a fight to stop the Whakatohea Treaty Settlement - one of the biggest settlements in history - from being finalised. The group negotiating the $100 million deal - the Whakatohea Pre-Settlement Trust - has faced widespread opposition among the Eastern Bay of Plenty iwi in the past. A vote on whether people support the trust fell well short of the 75 percent majority that a ratifications process typically demands. The Crown has pushed ahead with the settlement despite the divide, and Tuariki Delamere says that's simply due to "Pakeha crown arrogance". Te Aniwa Hurihanganui reports.

When this podcast was recorded, Sir Tipene was the co-Chair of the Constitutional Advisory Panel and charged with a particular responsibility for considering the place of Te Tiriti o Waitangi in a very differently configured future for Aotearoa / New Zealand. In that future, Māori and Pacifica peoples will be in very different proportions compared to others than they are currently. How do we want that future to be? What do we want the Treaty to be?
