MEDIA RELEASE
Te Kahu ō Taonui support whānau, hapū, iwi actions against the Significant Natural Areas Process by Far North District Council.
Te Kahu ō Taonui has given their collective support for direct action from Māori communities against the SNA approach by Council.
Te Kahu o Taonui Iwi Chair Harry Burkhardt says: “We have seen significant mobilisation of our communities from Te Hapua all the way through to the Kaipara who have been attending public hui and online forums sharing their absolute rejection of the SNA process being imposed by the Crown, without prior and informed consent from our people.”
He continues: “ the fact that this has been a process by stealth and information, mapping and data has been gathered without land owners being involved from the outset, we as Iwi Chairs understand why whānau are anxious and nervous about the intentions by both Government and Council. Over 260,000 hectares of Māori land and significant tranches of land are at risk here. Whānau and landowners will not take this lying down”.
The Iwi Chairs as a collective are fully supportive of the Hikoi taking place that starts June 10 from Te Rerenga Wairua/Cape Reinga with others joining June 11 from Panguru and other parts of Hokianga, Ohaeawai, Taumārere/Moerewa, Whangaroa, Whangārei and Kaipara.
Te Kahu o Taonui will also use our current relationships across local and central Government to ensure whānau, hapū and iwi views are communicated to remove SNA’s from the table until the full intent, purpose, and process has been made available to our respective communities.
Our thanks to our Iwi broadcaster Te Hiku Media for covering the recent engagements with FNDC - we hear the Council say they will listen, our people have said, "Stop the SNA process".
Final submissions close 11 June and can be sent through to submissions@fndc.govt.nz

Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP)
Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP)
Tēnā koutou,
Tēnā koutou me ngā tini mate kua wheturangitia, rātou ki a rātou, tātou ki o tātou, tēnā tātou katoa.
New Zealand is a founder member of the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) and supports its expansion through accession by economies willing to meet the CPTPP’s high standards. There is now increasing interest from other economies in joining CPTPP, including a formal request to join from the United Kingdom.
New members applying to join the CPTPP will need to comply with the existing CPTPP Agreement. This means the text of the Agreement will not change, with the current obligations and exceptions continuing to apply to existing members, as well as to new members who join the Agreement. This includes Te Tiriti o Waitangi provision in the CPTPP which, combined with other provisions, protects the government’s ability to adopt policies that fulfil its obligations to Māori. It also includes the range of provisions that preserve the government’s right to regulate for public policy purposes, including public health, public education, social welfare and the environment.
The focus of the accessions process will instead be on how economies wanting to join the Agreement can demonstrate compliance with the existing obligations set out in the CPTPP. The process will also be focused on ensuring the commitments those economies make on access for goods, services, investment, government procurement and temporary entry for business persons meet the high standards expected by CPTPP members.
We invite feedback from treaty partners on the issues that are important to you in New Zealand’s trade relationship with possible new CPTPP members. We are also keen to hear from you on any specific barriers to trade and investment in possible new CPTPP members that you would want to see addressed. Consultation will be open from the end of March until 2 May with officials who work on CPTPP available for hui to hear your views. You can also send us an email at cptppconsultations@mfat.govt.nz.
If you would like more information on CPTPP and the accessions process, please see our website: www.mfat.govt.nz/cptpp
