Innovation called for on Hauraki Claim
Hauraki – Waikato MP Nanaia Mahuta is calling on Treaty Settlements Minister Chris Finlayson to be innovative with the Hauraki Treaty claim.
She says a new Crown negotiator has been appointed for the claim which has been dragging on for a long time and its time to get moving.
"The big test I think for the crown is whether or not they're prepared to accelarate some discussion around some hefty issues. The minister knows my mind on it. I think he can do it if he is willing to be a bit more innovative than what's been the case in the past" she says.
Nanaia Mahuta says as an MP she's really pushing for some action to accelerate the claim and fulfill the Minister's hope of getting a first reading in House this session.
