Off to court it is
October 20th, 2012 at 12:59 pm by David FarrarAs was almost inevitable, the Maori Council have filed in court.
Do not be surprised if there is some sort of agreement or injunction not to proceed until the substantive hearing. That is why the sale is schedule for March to June 2013, so that the substantive hearing can be held in time.
Hall said the council had not yet raised all the budgeted $400,000 to take the legal action.
It’s good money for lawyers, this work!

This the legacy of John Key’s appeasement of separatists.
Sucking up to the Maori Party.
Rubbing noses with Tama Iti.
Supporting the flying of the “Maori” flag over Auckland Harbour bridge.
The Prime Ministership can be ticked off on John Key’s bucket list, but the rest of the country has paid a huge price for this politically vacuous clown with his pissant boyhood ambitions.

Do Maori realise that due to the global financial crisis we are borrowing billions just to finance social services let alone all their wet dreams?

Some try to tell us Maori have a different concept of ownership.
Vote:Quite so. In fact it’s a very very nasty one.
if you want something, you take it.
If you can get away with violence, then that’s fine.
if you have to weedle and lie. Then take a case to the Tribunal.
if you get more than what is reasonable – thats fine.
Create a bit of white guilt. Why not – it works.

They will he lucky to get their injunction or even a suspension pending the hearing. They can apply to the court for one but I doubt they will get it. Selling a minority stake in a company alters nothing so far as water rights are concerned.
