Sure it was about the river....

"Financial redress of NZ$80m is included in the settlement, as well as an additional NZ$1m contribution towards establishing the legal framework for the river."

Its all a big con.
The Maori are not native to NZ anyway.
There were others there when the Maori arrived from Polynesia and the Maori killed them all and took over. We were taught that at school.
At least that didnt happen here in OZ.

So will it get a fine if it doesn’t show up to Vote...? 😉

I guess it could use the excuse that it was unable to get to the polling booth.
