Show Notes

Labour's calling on the Māori Development Minister to keep the Ihumātao deal as it stands.

Documents seen by Newstalk ZB show that Tama Potaka is considering dissolving the committee dealing with the land.

It was bought in 2020 with a promise to put Māori housing in the area, putting an end to ongoing protests.

Māori Development Minister under Labour, Willie Jackson, told Ryan Bridge the Government should give them the space and honour the agreement.

He's telling Potaka not to cut things before they're finished.
