Green MPs host foreshore forum ahead of
hikoi
Green MPs Jeanette Fitzsimons and Metiria Turei are
hosting an open discussion around the Government's foreshore
and seabed legislation this Friday (15th October), the day
before the hikoi through Auckland.
"The foreshore issue is
inextricably tied up with our history as two peoples in one
land, with our sense of identity and with how we move
forward into our future," said Ms Fitzsimons. "Perhaps the
saddest aspect of the proposed legislation has been the lack
of meaningful consultation around it, which is why we've
organised this forum."
Forum on the Foreshore and Seabed:
Time: 6pm, Friday 15th October. Place: Green Office, 308
North Road, Grey Lynn.
Note: Green MPs Jeannette
Fitzsimons and Nandor Tanczos are participating in
Saturday's hikoi, which Ms Fitzsimons has been invited to
address.
