✨ Electoral Objections and Solutions

8 MAY NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE 1485

-- Traditional links and community of interest are not synonymous. If tribal affiliations are to be the focus then these are with Te Tai Tonga.

-- While the Electoral Act 1993 is not a vehicle for resolving Treaty claims the Commission as a statutory body should not act in a way that would exacerbate existing grievances or cause fresh prejudice to arise.

-- Commission’s deliberations undertaken with no prior consultation and conducted directly in the face of a pending Waitangi Tribunal report on these very issues.

Suggested solution That Te Tai Tonga is the logical and fairest Maori Electorate for the Chatham Islands.

64 003 b, h Objection S Thomas on behalf of Ngati Mutunga O Wharekauri Inc

Objects to decisions regarding the Chatham Islands (Wharekauri) being imposed on the Ngati Mutunga people and specifically opposes the assumption of the Commission that the Chatham Islands be included in Te Tai Hauauru “owing to the traditional links with the tribes belonging to Taranaki”. Any ties in this regard were severed completely in 1842.

Suggested solution Similar to Objection 34/006.

65 001 n, h Objection T Taikato on behalf of Rangataua Sports and Recreational Club

Objects to the name of the electorate because the proposed name does not give due consideration to the community of interest in the electorate. Waiariki is not fully representative or accurately descriptive of the geographic area proposed and acknowledges the Rotorua District only.

Suggested solution That consideration is given to the name being Te Moana a Toi – referring to the coastal area in question or Te Ika Manawa or Te Manawa – referring to inland or heartland area which represents a significant part of the proposed electorate.

65 002 b, n, h Objection M Ririnui on behalf of Ngati He hapu of Ngaiterangi, Tauranga

Similar to Objection 65/001 in respect to the name and with the addition that the hapu of Te Whanau o Tauwhao would be separated from its parent Iwi Ngaiterangi and become part of the proposed Hauraki Electorate, that electorate being predominantly Tainui.

Suggested solutions That the northern boundary of the proposed electorate be moved north to the Waiorooro Stream the present boundary between Bowentown and Waihi the northernmost boundary of Ngaiterangi. The suggested solution in relation to the name is
