Hawke s Bay Regional Council chairman Rex Graham says Māori have every right and reason to push for more control of freshwater resources. Ngāti Kahungunu on Wednesday came out in support of a Ngāi Tahu claim which is seeking co-control and management of freshwater in its rohe.
Graham said it makes sense that Ngāti Kahungunu would back the push given how government institutions have failed at protecting rivers over the years.

Ngāti Kahungunu is backing a South Island iwi s claim for shared control and management of freshwater with the Crown.
Ngāti Kahungunu says taiwhenua, settlement groups, marae, hapū and roopu have agreed to support, join and promote the Ngāi Tahu claim which is seeking co-control and management of freshwater.
The claim could have far-reaching implications for commercial and private use of freshwater, with many iwi of the view that Maori should have a voice in how freshwater is used.
The fake money drop is now in the hands of the Commerce Commission.
The Christchurch businessman behind The Safety Warehouse’s $100,000 cash drop, Andrew Thorn, says the event was “well-intentioned” and not misleading. The event was marketed by his PPE retailer business Safety Warehouse as “New Zealand’s first-ever mass cash drop”, with the promise of “actual money” flying from the sky to the tune of $100,000. But numerous reports recounted people being knocked down in the stampede for cash, and some of those in the crowd responding with anger and violence when they realised what was falling was mostly vouchers that looked like banknotes, not real money.
