Protecting Tūpuna Maunga from Fireworks: August 21, 2020

The Tupuna Maunga Authority say that fires that come about on Tupuna Maunga as a result of fireworks are not only dangerous, but cause harm to taonga. This week, a Parliamentary Select Committee decided not to ban the private sale of fireworks

Paul Majurie of the Authority joined Mary-Margaret this morning to discuss what it means that the government upholds the “balancing of competing interests” over mana whenua. She started by asking Paul to walk through the context that led to the Authority calling for a ban.
