Shane Jones: NZ First MP on the Ngāpuhi settlement
Manage episode 490403974 series 2098285
New Zealand First says the country can no-longer afford a drawn-out Treaty settlement with the largest iwi.
The party's drafting legislation to require a single settlement with Ngāpuhi, rather than multiple agreements.
However, Treaty Negotiations Minister Paul Goldsmith has signalled he's open to settlements with smaller groups within iwi.
NZ First MP Shane Jones told Mike Hosking the $20 million process is holding up Whangarei Hospital redevelopments.
He says one group is hijacking the claim by introducing notions of sovereignty at the cost of the taxpayer.
