Kia ora Trustees,

The Trust Board is obligated to include all members of Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa in the process specified in Clause 33 of the KTB Trust Deed, whether they are registered or not, and as such I stand clearly within the parameters of the Trust Board. The Trust Board has failed to include all members in this process, as I was excluded from the SGM/AGM hui on the 18th June 2022, and I was denied the opportunity to present and discuss my serious concerns outlined in my letter in relation to the Resolution 1 – Ownership of Stoney Creek Station process outlined in Clause 33. The subsequent attempts to address my concerns by your GM via email, and the erroneous summary report provided by Toko have failed. My concerns remain unresolved, hence my outstanding requests for information.

My current outstanding requests that are unresolved:

1) Confirmation of my complaint in relation to being denied confirmation of my beneficiary status. Still waiting after more than a year.

2) Confirmation of my complaint in relation to being excluded from the SGM and AGM held on 18th June 2022. Still waiting after almost a year. Ms Baker has confirmed in her email below that the link provided to the SGM and AGM was to enable registered members only an opportunity to participate and/or view both hui in real time. This of cause means that non-register members were excluded, which in itself is a breach of the KTB Trust Deed Clause 33 to provide an open, transparent, and fair process to all members of Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa.

3) A full copy of the zoom recordings of the SGM and AGM that I was excluded from held on 18th June 2022. If you can’t provide this then please provide me with the contact details and authority of the communications consulting service you engaged, so I can arrange for a copy of the hui zoom recording. Also, I have an email from your office confirming the existence of the zoom recording.

4) Copy of all of the SGM documentation including agenda, advertisements, minutes, and attendance register for the SGM held in relation to Clause 33.2 of the Trust Deed. As detailed in Toko’s summary report “Schedule 2, Point C – During the consultation process and at a Special General Meeting (SGM) called to discuss Stony Creek Station”. This is not available on your website. In fact, I’m not sure your GM understands exactly what SGM I’m asking about, as I don’t believe she has a detailed understanding of your Trust Deed , specifically Clause 33.2.

5) Copy of Toko’s full report relating to the Resolution 1 and Resolution 2 engagements, consultation, and meetings: including agenda, advertisements, minutes, and attendance registers. This is not available on your website.

Unfortunately, since you refuse to provide the information, I have requested, I can only assume that the process followed, voted on and passed by your administration under Clause 33 in relation to Resolution 1 – Ownership of Stoney Creek Station, has not met the conditions laid out in Clause 33, and as such any decisions relating to this matter are null and void. This coupled with your exclusion of non-registered members is a clear breach of the process and conditions outlined in Clause 33.

Nga mihi,
