Surrendering to the demands of noisy protesters should make us all very afraid, Hobson’s Pledge spokesman Don Brash said today.
He was reacting to news today that the Government will buy the land at Ihumatao from Fletcher Building for $29.9 million.
The Crown will hold the land on trust while today’s Kingitanga leads a process to decide the occupation status of parties who claim a connection to the land .
