Permissible activity?

Michael from Warkworth

I want to alert people to the need to make submissions to the Zero Carbon bill. I realise that this is a neighbourly situation and in my view it will affect us all. Please note that my post is apolitical, simply concerned about the future of our grandchildren.

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?
