The Bulletin: Māori wards gather momentum
Good morning and welcome to The Bulletin. In today’s edition: Māori wards gather momentum, the managed isolation system is effectively full, and drought on the way again in Hawke’s Bay.
In the day since an announcement from local government minister Nanaia Mahuta, the concept of Māori wards has generated both momentum and opposition. In case you missed it, the minister said the government will change the law to significantly ease the passage of Māori wards on councils – here’s a Stuff story about it. Right now, what tends to happen is that a council will vote to implement a Māori ward, local opponents then start a petition for a referendum on the question, and then the ward gets defeated, binding the council from trying again. The process is explained in this story by Alice Webb-Liddall.
I have concerns about the enthusiasms of NZ police from time to time, but I wouldn t trade the worst of them for Russians.

Great to read this, thank you to the the community and mana whenua, for some real action on our environment. I just hope that all abide by this and we don t see any going against this as it is viewed as optional . Better to see the local body/govt formalise this. Better still enlarge such protection into other areas Mana whenua on Waiheke island are placing a two-year rāhui on the island in a bid to stop four species of kaimoana from collapsing.
