		<description><![CDATA[King Country Maori have occupied a former Crafar farm earmarked for possible sale to Chinese investors. Seven occupiers moved onto a property 22km east of Benneydale late yesterday afternoon. Rereahu iwi spokesman Edward Moana-Emery said the occupation was a &#8220;last-ditch effort&#8221; to stop the sale of two Crafar farms they say are ancestral land. Mr Moana-Emery said the properties on State Highway 30, totalling about 1900 hectares, were part of the iwi&#8217;s Treaty of Waitangi settlement negotiations. He expected occupiers&#8217; ranks to swell when news of their occupation spread. &#8220;Our land was stolen from us in 1886 and we&#8217;ve been fighting for 126 years to get the land back. I hope this occupation will be over fast but if it...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Broadcaster Paul Holmes&#8217; role as presenter of TVNZ&#8217;s Q&#038;A Sunday morning current affairs show is being questioned after a &#8220;racially offensive&#8221; column he wrote about Waitangi Day. AUT indigenous studies adjunct professor Dr Rawiri Taonui has joined Mana Party leader Hone Harawira and broadcaster Willie Jackson in questioning Holmes&#8217; suitability for the role. &#8220;It&#8217;s a sad day when a great writer repeats the prejudices of the past, but Holmes&#8217; offer on Waitangi Day is a fall from grace,&#8221; Taonui said. Taonui, a regular Sunday Star-Times columnist, said Holmes was an intelligent writer, but said his article in the Weekend Herald, contained a &#8220;staggering number of half-truths and stereotypes&#8221;. &#8220;In a tirade he depicted Maori as ghastly, smug, politically neurotic, uneducated,...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Treaty negotiators for Tuhoe who are pushing the Crown for &#8220;maximum autonomy&#8221; are planning a trip to Scotland as its Government considers independence. Britain is having the conversation now despite more than 300 years of political union because the Scottish National Party won last year&#8217;s election. Independence is a central tenet of the SNP&#8217;s ideology but until it came to power it had no mandate to push the issue. Last year Tuhoe and the New Zealand Government reopened negotiations which stalled when the Prime Minister took ownership of the Te Urewera National Park off the table in 2010. It was a defining plank in negotiations, as is &#8220;mana motuhake&#8221; or autonomy. Tuhoe&#8217;s Tamati Kruger said maximum autonomy was a long-term...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s a call for a permanent Maori cultural venue on Auckland&#8217;s waterfront. During ten days of the Rugby World Cup, 397,000 people went through the waka and artisan village at the viaduct. Ngati Whatua o Orakei says that&#8217;s 10,000 more than went through the giant rugby ball over four years. The iwi says the fact international and local people visited Waka Maori in large numbers shows both tourists and Aucklanders are interested in Maori culture. Maori Trust Board chairman Grant Hawke says it&#8217;s time for the Auckland Council and the Government to support the establishment of a Maori and Polynesian cultural centre on the waterfront.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ngati Kahungunu chair Ngahiwi Tomoana says more Maori businesses are now starting to see China as an important market to enter as New Zealand becomes more focused on its relationship with Asia. Speaking at a conference on the Maori economy in Wellington on Thursday, Mr Tomoana says for Maori it is about acknowledging their long genealogical links with China. He says China is now the second largest global economy after the United States. Mr Tomoana says as Maori and iwi corporates are becoming more sophisticated, they are tending to lean more towards China. Mr Tomoana says the New Zealand economy is becoming less Euro-centric and American-centric with a bigger eye on China. He says although Australia is New Zealand&#8217;s largest...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[“It started with a bang and that was all,” said Ana Cocker, October 15th Solidarity spokesperson. “It fizzed out quickly into only little bits of evidence that Crown Prosecutor Ross Burns presented in highly emotive language.” “It was high theatrics and Ross Burns played to the jury and media,” she said. “But people can see through it.” “Four and a half years ago the camps had been highly dangerous because they were hidden deep in the bushes of te Urewera. Yesterday they were dangerous because they were held close to Ruatoki. The Crown said they were held close to a marae, to a school, to a road. They were even held in a paddock,” said Ms Cocker. “They were dangerous...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Tuhoe Waikaremoana Maori Trust Board says it&#8217;s looking forward to its people benefiting financially from the partial asset sales of four State Owned Enterprises, including Genesis Energy. A series of Government hui on the planned sales continued on Wednesday, and one held in Gisborne was attended by about 80 people. Board deputy chairperson Jennifer Takuta-Moses says one of the energy companies on the list for partial sale is Genesis Energy which operates power stations near Lake Waikaremoana. Jennifer Takuta-Moses says the land under the stations was originally Maori owned, and it&#8217;s to consider what sort of financial resources could come back to the local people if the partial asset sales go ahead. She says the issue will be on...]]></description>

The Te Karere DigiPoll out today questioned 1000 Maori voters in January. Of those, 70 per cent said Key did not provide good leadership on Maori issues, 17 per cent said he did, and 13 per cent did not know. Shearer didn&#8217;t do much better with 56 per cent saying they did not know if he provided good leadership on Maori issues, 28 per cent said he did and 16 per cent didn&#8217;t know. The poll also asked about asset sales and found 88 per cent did of Maori voters did not support...]]></description>
