MORE WDC RATEPAYERS $150,000.00 GIVEN AWAY TO WDC MAORI ADVISORY GROUP - NO HAPU OR PUBLIC CONSULTATION
In plain english ... at a Full Council Meeting (all elected Councillors) for Whangarei District Council on 28th May 2020, 9.00am Zoom Online Meeting Available on Facebook if you missed it. Item 5.5 please read Working Group recommendation for Māori participation in Decision Making page 34.
At this meeting elected Councillors voted yes for new Standing Committee for Council, $150,000.00 budget given to Te Huinga Group (no legal or formal status) and 4 new non-elected maori councillors with full voting rights of elected Councillors. consultation with Hapu or Community?
Te Huinga Group has until September 2020 to hold formal robust Hapu Election Process - there has been no meetings or notifications to Marae, Hapu or whanau regarding the intention of a small group of Hapu Representations called from Te Huinga Committee to WDC MAORI ADVISORY GROUP called "Te Kārearea Strategic Partnership Forum" with seating elected Councillors.
No Hapu or Whanau or Public Consultation. I am still looking for where the $150,000.00 was approved? What is the money going to ne used for? Who provides accountability and transparency now WDC has no Finance Committee? Does WDC Elected Councillors have public liability insurance if they get it wrong?
You need to ask your elected Ward Councillors about it? What is a Standing Order or Standing Committee of Council? It is a legal process.
So why didn't local maori and Hapu in the Whangarei District Area go for a petition to vote for Maori Wards at last local Elections 2019? Remember elected Councillors voted against Maori wards in 2018.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
