Greens launch Māori land policy, Hoki Whenua Mai – vows to return stolen land, revisit claims and redressThe Green Party is vowing to make sure all stolen land is returned to tangata whenua by introducing legislation including removing a historical claims deadline for breaches of Te Tiriti o Waitangi and establishing a process for private land. Look, it’s a great policy (although I disagree with the changes to the Public Works Act), the economic backbone of this country is stealing Māori land and never paying it back, but the Greens inability to read the room just highlights the weird bubble world they live in. Are the Greens even trying to get elected? Increasingly having independent opinion in a mainstream media environment which mostly echo one another has become more important than ever, so if you value having an independent voice – please donate here.
