95bFM: The Wire With Simon Maude & Selwyn Manning – PM Key Jabs Maori Party in the Ribs

95bFM, Recorded live on 12/07/12.

Selwyn Manning and Simon Maude deliver their weekly bulletin examining the main political events and issues for the week.

In this bulletin they discuss how the Prime Minister John Key appeared to undermine the function of the Waitangi Tribunal, commenting that the National-led Government ‘could ignore’ the findings and conclusions stated by the Waitangi Tribunal over whether Maori own water rights connected to the generation of hydro and geothermal power generation in New Zealand.

His comments have angered the co-leaders of the Maori Party and it is going to its membership seeking a view on whether Maori value the relationship they have with the National-led Government.
