PSAG – will there be something in writing to keep tino rangatiratanga?

10.  PSAG – will there be something in writing to keep tino rangatiratanga?

Trust Board Reply:

This was a debatable question, as some believe that tino rangatiratanga (self-rule) is possible, whilst others believed that tino rangatiratanga implies taking care of oneself (self-determination). No Treaty settlement to date has resulted in self-rule, but some have enabled their Iwi to gain a greater degree of self-determination.

What is the percentage of votes required?

3.  What is the percentage of votes required? For example if there are 1000 people on register, how many need to vote?

Trust Board Reply:

The Iwi should decide these matters, by proposing ideas at the Consultation Hui, which can be ratified in a vote taken by all registrants prior to the Deed of Settlement. Issues to be considered include:

Whether the ‘majority’ includes all those who are registered, or only those who vote
Simple Majority:         51%
Significant Majority    75%
