I think the criteria was uninterupted customary ownership since 1840.

The sensationalist title seems far from what they're actually trying to do here.

"However, Houkamau added, in some situations it might not be appropriate for a camper van to park up at a wahi tapu site. "There are enough beautiful beaches on the coast which are not wahi tapu.""

"In particular areas, called Territorial Customary Rights Areas, the agreement gives Ngati Porou even greater powers - to veto resource consents, and to set or waive conservation rules."

The article says they have had, in some places, 170 years of posession of the lands.

Don't cunning plans need to work to be cunning?

The Scandanavians/Scottish were here first. They were here for several generations before the maoris came and killed/ate them.

Wahi bullshit, I'll call. The games plans transparent.

Take a really nice bit of beach front property. Establish exclusive rights to the BEACH (not just access rights throught he surrounding land, but rights to the beach itself).

Then sell those rights to rich foreigners to build exclusive (as in exclusive , low caste Kiwiws not permitted) losges and hotels.

Bet you anything you like that in 10 years time all these wahi whatsit sites will be occupied by foreigners.

In the two years of living here I have seen numerous cases of slashed tyres and people being abused and made feel unwelcome. This is it. This is how it is going to be from now on, its truely unbelievable. What a lovely example of what was once our local MP. Makes you all warm and fuzzy inside doesn't it? I really honestly could not understand his behaviour that day. Ended up screaming at him and telling him to just shut his fucking mouth. Well what do you know he ended up resorting to trying to get our pets impounded after realizing he wasn't getting anywhere with his attempt at kicking us off the beach. I'm looking forward to the next round
