Producer Evie speaks to the ACT Party’s Simon Court about the government's findings from the abuse in state care report and the overturn of the court appeal on the Marine and Coastal Area Act.
She spoke to Te Pāti Māori’s Mariameno Kapa-Kingi about the same issues.
Wire host Sofia speaks to ActionStation Director, Kassie Hartendorp, about the Māori wards bill passing its second reading last week.
And Tuesday Wire host Castor speaks to Associate professor of Criminology at the University of Auckland, Dr Tamasailauu Sualii about the abuse in state care inquiry and its impact in Aotearoa’s Pacific communities.
Following the foreshore and seabed controversy of the early 2000s the government introduced a system for Māori to make claims to coastal land.However Māori claimants had to prove they had exclusively used and occupied an area from 1840 to the present day without substantial interruption.
Last year the court of appeal made a decision that groups only needed to show they had enough control over the area that they could keep others from using it - making it substantially easier for Māori to claim their rightful land.
But one year on, the government now wants to overturn this, claiming the decision will affect other New Zealanders rights to the land.
I spoke Te Pāti Māori's Mariameno Kapi-Kingi about the government's backwards move and what it means for Māori.
We also talked about the recent findings of the Inquiry into Abuse in State Care, and the disproportionate representation of Māori.
