New Waitangi Tribunal member Derek Fox says he’s just a simple country boy from Māhia, but he can play a useful role.
The veteran journalist and former mayor of Wairoa says he’s not overawed being in the company of professional historians and lawyers.
He will bring a generalist perspective, 50 years of experience in the news media including reporting on and participating in tribunal processes, as well as a good set of eyes and ears. There s an awful lot of reading to be done around the claims. There are researchers who will produce the material that tribunal members will be able to read and follow up on and listen to when the hearings are held, so it really is a time for calm consideration is probably how I would see it, Mr Fox says.
