Applause as Matamata-Piako council says yes to Māori wards

It will remain in force for six years and remains until a further resolution takes effect.
Te Aroha Councillor Russell Smith, who abstained in this week’s vote, said because he was unable to go out for consultation and follow what the people in Te Aroha want, he was unable to vote either way.
“I was told to be strong, show my kia kaha,” he said.
“By not going out for consultation, we’re not being transparent, consultation is important to me.
“To my fellow councillors, congratulations for being strong and sticking to your beliefs on a landmark decision.”

Matamata-Piako looks set to press ahead with Māori wards for the 2022 election but an iwi forum representative says there’s plenty of work to do both before then and by whoever might eventually fill the spot.
On Tuesday, Te Manawhenua Forum mo Matamata-Piako asked the district council to forge ahead with the plan for a Māori seat on the full council.
The forum’s chairwoman, Te Ao Marama Maaka from Ngāti Hāua, said it was a clear mandate from the iwi.
