A former Minister holds the view that the Ihumātao committee's achieved nothing.  

Documents seen under the Official Information Act show that Māori Development Minister Tama Potaka considered dissolving the committee. 

It's now been almost four years since the previous Labour Government supported the sale of the land, after controversial protests.   

Former Treaty Negotiations Minister Chris Finlayson told Mike Hosking all this group is capable of doing is talking.    

He says he wouldn't give them an ultimatum, he'd just boot them now.
