Press Statement Te Paati
Maori ki Waitemata 12 February 2011
Yesterday the Maori Party members of Waitemata hosted a public hui where the Te Taitokerau MP, Hone Harawira, addressed the electorate.
In response to the MP’s address the hui stated:
1. We have total confidence in the elected Te Taitokerau MP, Hone Harawira.
2. Further, we request that our Te Taitokerau MP, Hone Harawira, be returned to caucus without further ado.
3. Finally, we are appalled at how the mana of our Rangatira has been treated in the isolation process, excluding him from important matters and issues that affect Te Iwi Maori katoa ie: Te Takutaimoana; Mining on our whenua; Privatisation; G.S.T increase; and other legislative bills before the house.
The Te Taitokerau members in
attendance will be attending the Maori Party Council hui to
lodge their dissatisfaction at the lack of proper process
taken without proper consultation and communication to the
Te Taitokerau electorate.
By Matua Selwyn Muru and Whaea
Lillian Howe on behalf of Maori Party ki Waitemata.
