Tame Malcolm Breaks Down Environmental Laws

A BIG wānanga with environmental advocate and conservationist Tame Malcolm to unpack laws around te taiao and what it really means for te iwi Māori.This follows on from our kōrero with Tama Potaka about Section 4 of the Conservation Act - one of the strongest Treaty clauses in Aotearoa’s legal system. With the current government signalling changes to Treaty references across legislation, what would happen if this clause were ever removed?Tame helps us understand the intention of the Act, and the practical realities of how decisions about our whenua and wai are made. It's complex, it's layered, and it's a kaupapa that we all need to be across!Make sure to SUBSCRIBE so you don't miss out on more content like this!English subtitles are added following upload day, e te whānau.

Tama Potaka: Te Tiriti, Protection, and Section 4

Right now, Māori initiatives are being defunded, agencies restructured, and Treaty commitments rolled back.We speak with Tama Potaka (Minister for Māori Development, Conservation, Whānau Ora, Māori Crown Relations and Associate Minister of Housing) to ask how he and this government are working to protect Te Tiriti o Waitangi at a time when so many of their actions suggest the opposite.We ask Tama for his stance on the Te Mana o te Wai claim and Hinurewa challenges the Minister directly about Section 4 of the Conservation Act, which requires the Crown to give effect to the principles of Te Tiriti. So, will he make the pledge to uphold that clause?Make sure to SUBSCRIBE so you don't miss out on more content like this!English subtitles are added following upload day, e te whānau.
