    Right to silence cancelled - by Keith Locke



    It’s great that the NZ Herald, in an editorial this morning , recognises that “New Zealanders stand to lose some hard-won freedoms under a bill [the Search and Surveillance Bill] moving largely under the radar through Parliament.” Decoding that sentence, it means we should have taken the Greens and community organisations more seriously when they [...] read more

    Tuhoe and Crown talk about te Urewera - by frog



    It’s interesting to hear that Tuhoe are now entering treaty negotiations with the Crown.  This will, I imagine, be a very different set of negotiations to previous large negotiations such as Ngai Tahu and Waikato. Tuhoe’s engagement with the crown is stereotypically characterised as more confrontational than for many other iwi, which will add an [...] read more
