The government owns the foreshore and seabed on behalf of the public of New Zealand. Any other interpretation by the courts would be a travesty of justice. Say no to racism.
@@korowheke3182 In 1982 the UN enacted the Law of the Sea, a convention of international law relating to seabed ownership in a country's territorial waters. The government (Crown Estate) owns approximately 40% of the land in NZ. Private land ownership is known as freehold. Outside of territorial waters, no one owns the ocean, they are 'global commons.' Hope that helps.
@@korowheke3182 Because... Coastal lands, like all lands surrounding water bodies like lakes and rivers fall under the BRITISH law of the "Queens Chain". One Chain equals 20.117 metres. In the case of the ocean... This is From the highest tide mark. The seabed itself, under water, cannot be owned by anyone... and comes under the protectorate of the Government. Only the Government can extract the minerals from under the sea out to the economic distance of 200 kms. Maori fell under the British law system when the signing of the treaty came into force. They cannot circumvent the laws to suit their own agenda.
The chiefs were assured they would own their lands and treasures as per the treaty. To claim otherwise is theft. If the government claimed a wealthy landowners beachfront property in 2024 and said its now for everyone, is that right? This is basically what youre justifying.
Time to bring all of this bull tweet to an end. Time for a referendum and get this country going 1 direction. All this Maori craziness is causing massive racism against them. We the majority want our country back.

You think a referendum will suddenly change everybody's mind? Will make it worse. Seymour needs to stop, he knows exactly what he's doing. Shame alot of his supporters don't.
abolishing the race based as you say, is abolishing maori/ te tiriti o waitangi right.... that means the land returns to Maori and then where do you go???
Abolishing race based policies is no different to abolishing gender based policies. Women have a much higher chance of getting breast cancer, so we provide screening for them which we don't for men. Different also have higher chances of needing differing support, and so they are targeted with that support. One size does not fit all, and the only people who believe that are the ones who already happen to fit.
Step no. 2. WT has run its course and way surpassed its use by date. It has been taken over by elite radical activist extremist separatist tribal Maori who have profited nicely from it. Pity the rest of the really good Maori didn't reap the benefits.

What great vision those old Chiefs had... first they saw there was a better life for their young - one without the inevitable early death, constant warfare, slavery or even worse.. they then saw learning to speak the tongue of trade and commerce (English) would open doors for their young and they determined their young must do this so they demanded their young be taught only English in the schools to fast track their learning.. our Chiefs were in a hurry for every advantage for their young and wanted the best for them and they wanted it fast! They grasped education and the wonders of the new world in both hands. If the young learnt then they would bring home the new language and teach their old ones. The old ones would gather on the Marae and the young ones would stand proud and teach what they had learnt. Quickly the Chiefs saw the advantages of farming with iron tools and the seeds they got in trade grew well and developed quickly in the new virgin land so their peoples' diets improved greatly. Then our great Ancestors watched the rolling out of TeReo and nodded in agreement... TeReo was the language developed by the English scholar Samuel Lee with the help of Hongi Hika... This new language meant tribes who struggled to understand each other would have a language in common and they could then use it to communicate and trade with the new settlers. Some 20 years later at the Great Assembly of Chiefs more than 100 Chiefs from all over NZ would gather and report favourably on 20 years living under the treaty... they reported their people were starting to grow in numbers, their health was improving and their stomachs were full! The horrors of almost 30 years of utu were at last at an end. These wonderful old Chiefs had great vision... they were able to look down the ages and saw within 180 years their descendants would hold their own and take a role in developing and running our fine nation by working together along side the settlers - learning and working as one people...We achieved great things in those early years, our cities were growing and our farmlands producing, and young Maori attended University as early as 1878 in Auckland. Our peoples had much to learn from each other and our lives would be forever intertwined in our bloodlines... Maori and European together learning from each other and working together.. this was the wisdom of our Ancestors. It would have broken the old Chiefs hearts to see the division the radicals have caused recently - they would not approve! Our old Ancestors would say to us.... united we are strong and can achieve anything ... divide us and we are weak. I also think the decision by the Supreme Court would have got our Ancestors approval.

Whats wrong with race based policies? We have plenty of gender based polices, e.g. I don't get free breast screening because as a man I'm highly unlikely to develop breast cancer. Likewise, I'm far less likely to develop heart disease like Māori & Pasifika are. Race based policies aren't necessarily segregation, its actually a way of more effectively focusing resources. It means your tax dollars are being more efficiently spent than otherwise.

Happy days. Squabbling over claims needs to end. We need to be united as a people and a country. It belongs to all of us ,regardless of skin color or heritage.

In 1987 the five justices, all lawyers themselves, ruled that their was NEVER a "partnership" With Maori and the Crown in the Treaty. They also ruled that the ALL Maori became British subjects under British law, and ceded their collective sovereigntyat the signing of the Treaty with the Crown. ALL these issues that have arisen in the past 50 years have been put forward by Maori through avarice and greed. If individual Maori, or collective Tribal Maori own land... They are protected under Crown law just as everyone is. The seabed, foreshores, airways etc, all come under the gaurdianship of the Crown as common areas for ALL citizens of the country. This is ALL under British Statutes... Which Maori cannot legally subvert... Despite their many attempts to do by falsifying facts they never ceded sovereignty and that they have a partnership agreement with, and as a seperate body from the Crown/Government of New Zealand.
@williamearnshaw410. I agree but not from all Maori just the greedy elite radical activist extremist separatist tribal Maori. The later give Maori and maoridom a bad name.
@MaryAda-wj3dy I agree. It is very hard to differentiate the word Maori into the different Maori tribal people when writing about them. I am well aware that the majority of the Maori tribes members were peaceful hard working people who enjoyed and benefitted enormously under the sovereignty of the English Crown and governorship in New Zealand. They integrated themselves with the hard working settlers... Mostly English farmers who bought with them valuable knowledge of land and how to gain the most from the land for all. These settlers like my Great Great Grand and Great Grandfather, we're from Yorkshire... Paying the family's way on ship to NZ in 1863. They arrived in Lyttleton, purchased land near Christchurch, and after breaking it in... Farmed it. They employed local Maori... Working together to make NZ into a great little Nation.... Together... Unified. The minority tribes of warlike people caused death and mayhem amongst the other tribes, the authority of the Crown constabluary, and the settlers. I liken these Maori to the Radical Maori we have today.

It’s just greed. Any honest Māori knows, no one owns the land or sea. We are mere custodians of it. Not even the crown owns it. The earth is ancient, 20,000-18,000 years ago NZ was covered in ice. Before that landmass Zealandia - today an almost entirely submerged mass of continental crust with New Zealand and a few other islands peaking above sea level - broke away from the supercontinent Gondwana in the Cretaceous period. Before this time, Zealandia shared its past with Australia and Antarctica. Since this separation, the New Zealand landscape has evolved in physical isolation. Humans are a blink in its timeline
Customary Law is derived from English Law and was inherited by New Zealand Courts - everyone who honestly beleives in equality before the law should be supporting this decision as a just application of the Law. Why should coastal land be treated as different to any other land? Should all land in the country be declared to be in public ownership too?
People from Hong Kong went to Canada in 1999 then bought most of the land surrounding lakes etc, then built high rises which stopped access and views and put property prices up so high that the younger generation in Canada could never afford to buy their own land and homes.😭
Oh well , the decision has been made by the experts and (there will be moaning) but Iwi will have to abide by the courts ruling, unlike what David is doing. My Iwi have already agreed to a deal.... others will get there due and some won,t. Ngāti Porou were the only iwi that reached an agreement with the Crown under the now-repealed Foreshore and Seabed Act 2004. When that Act was reviewed and repealed, the Crown undertook to honour its existing commitments to Ngāti Porou. Following the passage of the Marine and Coastal Area (Takutai Moana) Act in 2011, the original agreement was updated to reflect features of the new Act, including the new legal test for customary marine title. The agreement was given effect by Ngā Rohe Moana o Ngā Hapū o Ngāti Porou Act 2019. Customary marine title enables the holders to exercise certain rights through involvement in resource consent and Conservation Act processes, customary fisheries management, the ownership of non-Crown minerals and taonga tūturu in the title area, and protection of wāhi tapu, such as urupā (grave sites).
The coast line belongs to kiwis, not the invading party of moaris, based on their wiping out of the mori ori, then they have zero rights . A defeated enemy has no mana ...is that not how it works. Learn to share, nobody , no human has rights to the coastline or seabed.
The crown have no right based on the ethno cleansing of the Maori that they failed at. The crown has no ownership of resources you are managers of subjects only.
Way back they had no concept of land ownership until the british came here then they saw some coin to be made sold majority of land for 1000s of pounds for muskets and first world stuff

Oh, I get it, Iwi are a cost prohibitive impediment to the wholesale raping of our natural resources that benefit the offshore interests Mr Brash seems to be championing. How much are they paying for access, how must risk are they taking in the event of a calamity, and how many jobs will these projects provide for Kiwis?
@MaryAda-wj3dy Selling out our resources, when there's minimal benefit in royalties, I think the last deal was 2 %, we as a nation take all the risk if there's an ecological event, like an oil spill or mine collapse, and most of the higher paid jobs are given to non kiwi experts, that's what I'm prattling about
The fact that this govt would rather sell out to offshore interests rather than invest in long term infrastructure to process said resources says everything eh.

The Supreme Court is upholding Contract Law. Whether people like it or not British and NZ Law has to view this under The Contract Law Category. It has nothing to do with what race, religion, status the parties to a contract are. The Supreme Court, The Waitangi Tribunal, The Legal Framework of NZ is obliged to apply Contract Law and Precedent in Law when reviewing any Legislation for NZ. Considering there are 9000 Treaties and Contracts registered and ratified previously at The UN and in NZ the precedent is well established.
Customary Rights ensures the coastal and marine areas can't be sold off for corporate exploitation, and protects access for ALL people, so why are there so many whiners? The crown government thought they could overthrow justice, but in the end justice prevails!
@@helenlizzystewart4908 The Marine and Coastal Act not only protects Aotearoa from corporate greed such as your governments fast track mining bs but also upholds contract law held within Te Tiriti (Undisturbed rights to fisheries).

Don Brash is talking nonsense. In Contract Law which the Treaty Comes under you cannot remove or negate a pre existing Contract with Fletchers for Mineral Extraction because they amalgamated with Fischer and Paykel. Joint exclusivity is bot just common in Contractual / Treaty Law we have many precedents of such within New Zealand ,Commonwealth and British and UK Law.
Why do you celebrate rulings when they go your way.. yet... when it is Iwi favor you yell Foul and say the experts are wrong? I hope Maoridom takes this on the chin and shows....We have to accept the rulings
WE ALL HAVE ACCESS TO TO THE FORESHORE, MAORI ARE NOT STOPPED, SO WHY DO THEY NEED ANY CONTROL OR OWNERSHIP, WHAT HAPPENED TO HELEN CLARKS FORESHORE LAW.
Because you are not stopped when Maori are responsible for it. Ask yourself that question. Have you been denied access? no you want it so you can commodotise.
The owners with the largest piece of the foreshore are those with huge landholdings, which none of the public can access…….and it ain’t Māori landholdings, cause the majority has been stolen, forcibly taken, laws enacted to dispossess. I came here to check out the comments. Ha! True to form, the Keha racists whining again. Lies, and misinformation! Kuare tangata!
Foreshore and Seabed has always been a contentious issue between Maori and Pakeha. In British Law the area is common land; in Maori territorial boundary it belonged to iwi as a source of food, which iwi still use it for. The Treaty (Article 2) states iwi/whanau/individuals have "...the full exclusive and undisturbed possession of their Lands and Estates Forests Fisheries...". Maori will protect these areas, there were a lot of very messy incidents and battles to protect these areas before pakeha came and Maori will do everything to protect them as is their right.
@wax333 it's public land. Kiwis of all colors are pretty protective of their public lands. There would be a major outcry from all corners if a govt tried to chop it up and sell it off. It would loose a govt an election no doubt.
@@Hatunrumioc It isn't all public land, rich land owners own private beach accounting for around 30% of the coastline. For some reason, Laws is only focused on Maori retaining their rights nothing about rich pakeha that own privte beaches - I wonder why.
My tipuna signed He Whakaputanga (Declaration of Independence) 28.10.1835 and Te Tiriti 17.2.1840. Pōmare believed he had not given up any sovereignty and stated that he was not able to in any case, as it belonged to all of his iwi.
@@KarlTebbutt Yes. Just like Europeans today who are often bilingual and or multilingual it was normal. My tipuna on my mum's side, Hongi Hika travelled to England. Hongi was gifted trinkets from King George that he sold in Sydney on his way home. George's trinkets were sold for muskets and the rest is history.
And the claims by some maori for the foreshore and seabed has little to do with traditional fishing and kaimoana. It is all to do with the control and $$$$$$$$$$$$ profit from future seabed mineral mining.
Any sources to back that claim up? And do you know of a single Māori seabed mining development? They are literally all giant multinational corporations.

It’s just greed. Any honest Māori knows, no one owns the land or sea. We are mere custodians of it. Not even the crown owns it. The earth is ancient, 20,000-18,000 years ago NZ was covered in ice. Before that landmass Zealandia - today an almost entirely submerged mass of continental crust with New Zealand and a few other islands peaking above sea level - broke away from the supercontinent Gondwana in the Cretaceous period. Before this time, Zealandia shared its past with Australia and Antarctica. Since this separation, the New Zealand landscape has evolved in physical isolation. Humans are a blink in its timeline

Customary Law is derived from English Law and was inherited by New Zealand Courts - everyone who honestly beleives in equality before the law should be supporting this decision as a just application of the Law.
Why should coastal land be treated as different to any other land? Should all land in the country be declared to be in public ownership too?
It's a joke a people who got here slightly earlier have more rights
Wow you have misunderstood the assignment. That is not why. Can you list a few extra rights they have and why please?
No ...pass that amendment....make it concrete law......so they understand.

How much legal fees has this generated? Lawyers have no incentives at finding truth.
The courts do not make laws so what’s up.
Correct, the courts make a ruling, then they pass that on to parliament who implement it into law
If it stops commercial development, I'm for it.
People from Hong Kong went to Canada in 1999 then bought most of the land surrounding lakes etc, then built high rises which stopped access and views and put property prices up so high that the younger generation in Canada could never afford to buy their own land and homes.😭
Spoken like a true greeney. NZ needs well planned commercial investment.

The problem is, it doesn't. Look at what has happened to the hurunui river due to the farms adjacent. All while under tribal ownership

🎉Supreme courts rock🎉
What is old man Brash going to do about this...take out an Ad in the Herald😂
Oh well , the decision has been made by the experts and (there will be moaning) but Iwi will have to abide by the courts ruling, unlike what David is doing. My Iwi have already agreed to a deal.... others will get there due and some won,t.
Ngāti Porou were the only iwi that reached an agreement with the Crown under the now-repealed Foreshore and Seabed Act 2004. When that Act was reviewed and repealed, the Crown undertook to honour its existing commitments to Ngāti Porou. Following the passage of the Marine and Coastal Area (Takutai Moana) Act in 2011, the original agreement was updated to reflect features of the new Act, including the new legal test for customary marine title. The agreement was given effect by Ngā Rohe Moana o Ngā Hapū o Ngāti Porou Act 2019.
Customary marine title enables the holders to exercise certain rights through involvement in resource consent and Conservation Act processes, customary fisheries management, the ownership of non-Crown minerals and taonga tūturu in the title area, and protection of wāhi tapu, such as urupā (grave sites).
It might be safer for the government to codify the SCs decision.
The coast line belongs to kiwis, not the invading party of moaris, based on their wiping out of the mori ori, then they have zero rights .
A defeated enemy has no mana ...is that not how it works.
Learn to share, nobody , no human has rights to the coastline or seabed.
The crown have no right based on the ethno cleansing of the Maori that they failed at. The crown has no ownership of resources you are managers of subjects only.
Way back they had no concept of land ownership until the british came here then they saw some coin to be made sold majority of land for 1000s of pounds for muskets and first world stuff

Oh, I get it, Iwi are a cost prohibitive impediment to the wholesale raping of our natural resources that benefit the offshore interests Mr Brash seems to be championing. How much are they paying for access, how must risk are they taking in the event of a calamity, and how many jobs will these projects provide for Kiwis?
What the hell are you prattling on about
@MaryAda-wj3dy Selling out our resources, when there's minimal benefit in royalties, I think the last deal was 2 %, we as a nation take all the risk if there's an ecological event, like an oil spill or mine collapse, and most of the higher paid jobs are given to non kiwi experts, that's what I'm prattling about
The fact that this govt would rather sell out to offshore interests rather than invest in long term infrastructure to process said resources says everything eh.

You probably don't fish or know a rod from a reel but the NZ commercial boats are decimating our fishing grounds for everyone. People are struggling to catch legal fish out there to feed their families
Maori dont like hobsons pledge and want non maori to have hobsons choice.😅😅
The chiefs were assured they would own their lands and treasures as per the treaty. To claim otherwise is theft.
If the government claimed a wealthy landowners beachfront property in 2024 and said its now for everyone, is that right? This is basically what youre justifying. Do you think whats happening in Ukraine is bad? that is what you are justifying.

The Supreme Court is upholding Contract Law. Whether people like it or not British and NZ Law has to view this under The Contract Law Category. It has nothing to do with what race, religion, status the parties to a contract are. The Supreme Court, The Waitangi Tribunal, The Legal Framework of NZ is obliged to apply Contract Law and Precedent in Law when reviewing any Legislation for NZ.
Considering there are 9000 Treaties and Contracts registered and ratified previously at The UN and in NZ the precedent is well established.
Customary Rights ensures the coastal and marine areas can't be sold off for corporate exploitation, and protects access for ALL people, so why are there so many whiners? The crown government thought they could overthrow justice, but in the end justice prevails!
you can protect the coastal and marine areas without so called customary rights
@@helenlizzystewart4908 The Marine and Coastal Act not only protects Aotearoa from corporate greed such as your governments fast track mining bs but also upholds contract law held within Te Tiriti (Undisturbed rights to fisheries).

Learn a foreign language in three days, Hobson knew nothing , most of you have been here your whole life, make a sentence in maori, didn't think so, racist creeps.
Don Brash is talking nonsense. In Contract Law which the Treaty Comes under you cannot remove or negate a pre existing Contract with Fletchers for Mineral Extraction because they amalgamated with Fischer and Paykel. Joint exclusivity is bot just common in Contractual / Treaty Law we have many precedents of such within New Zealand ,Commonwealth and British and UK Law.

@@geofflewis8599 MPI charges the govt for lookibng after the waters whats the difference
The owners with the largest piece of the foreshore are those with huge landholdings, which none of the public can access…….and it ain’t Māori landholdings, cause the majority has been stolen, forcibly taken, laws enacted to dispossess. I came here to check out the comments. Ha! True to form, the Keha racists whining again. Lies, and misinformation! Kuare tangata!
Foreshore and Seabed has always been a contentious issue between Maori and Pakeha. In British Law the area is common land; in Maori territorial boundary it belonged to iwi as a source of food, which iwi still use it for. The Treaty (Article 2) states iwi/whanau/individuals have "...the full exclusive and undisturbed possession of their Lands and Estates Forests Fisheries...". Maori will protect these areas, there were a lot of very messy incidents and battles to protect these areas before pakeha came and Maori will do everything to protect them as is their right.
It's owned by the public .
@stewatparkpark2933 govt think they own it and are going to sell it to overseas investors and you will not be able to use it again
@@stewatparkpark2933 There are exceptions; some rich people own the beach called Riparian Rights
@wax333 it's public land. Kiwis of all colors are pretty protective of their public lands. There would be a major outcry from all corners if a govt tried to chop it up and sell it off. It would loose a govt an election no doubt.
@@Hatunrumioc It isn't all public land, rich land owners own private beach accounting for around 30% of the coastline. For some reason, Laws is only focused on Maori retaining their rights nothing about rich pakeha that own privte beaches - I wonder why.

And the claims by some maori for the foreshore and seabed has little to do with traditional fishing and kaimoana. It is all to do with the control and $$$$$$$$$$$$ profit from future seabed mineral mining.
Any sources to back that claim up? And do you know of a single Māori seabed mining development? They are literally all giant multinational corporations.
