Good to see John Key appears to be having a rethink.
John says the billboard is inaccurate. Really — which bits?
Does he mean iwi will no longer get
- ownership rights
- development rights
- mining rights, and
- veto rights
over the foreshore and seabed, and that all New Zealanders will continue to have
- free access to all beaches (including those declared by iwi to be ‘culturally significant’)?
Because if he doesn’t, he should apologise to the Coastal Coalition, who are getting mightily sick of being painted as liars.
And if he does, then why is he going to the trouble of renouncing Crown ownership?
