Pacific Islands people are being warned to disregard
promoters of a Maori citizenship scheme.
Labour
Pacific Islands spokesman Taito Phillip Field has warned the
Pacific Islander community not to be misled by people
offering to sell passports claimed to provide claim to Maori
citizenship of New Zealand.
Mr Field says Confederation of
the United Tribes of Aotearoa representatives have been
visiting Pacific Island churches in Auckland offering them a
passport for about $1000.
He syas around 100 people have
bought into the scheme.
Pacific Islands people who wish

Mr
Field says he's happy to assist if people wish to know more
about New Zealand's immigration laws.
