However, local iwi Ngati Manuhiri said the Fight The Tip Commitee doesn't have mana to place the rāhui, despite insight from an appointed Māori liaison. The iwi won't stop the rāhui going ahead, but said any rāhui placed over the land without Ngati Manuhiri co-operation would be "irrelevant" under Māori customary law. What do you think? Vote in our poll and let us know in the comments.
