And if, as a result of the Maori Council's actions in the Waitangi Tribunal/High Court, the government determines (for example) that Maori should be compensated for use of water by power companies, then does that mean all Maori will be compensated directly in some way, or will the cash simply go to the iwi corporations? Are the Maori Council's aims really all that different from the ILG's? This is all very unclear to me, I'd be grateful if anyone can shed some light on these questions.

Quote "The ILG is not representative of Maori". <br />The government of the day has always cherry-picked which Maori interest group it wants to deal with - the Maori Council used to be it, and it was also criticized back in the day for not representing Maori adequately, especially urban Maori.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8687643215117543088.post-12012661498102031402012-07-16T16:49:54.815+12:002012-07-16T16:49:54.815+12:00agree what mandate do the ILG have none so stop sa...agree what mandate do the ILG have none so stop saying they speak for maoriAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8687643215117543088.post-53276654208137932132012-07-16T13:29:03.754+12:002012-07-16T13:29:03.754+12:00mmm, the missing salient point is that ILG are ele...mmm, the missing salient point is that ILG are elected by noone and hei, when can i go to their meeting? where are the minuites? transparency and ILG do not seem to be linkedAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
