    It’s more that they will likely find a way to direct projects towards Iwi owned companies, or find another way to work things to their advantage. The whole system is ripe for abuse.

    Iwi deserve a say on consents to take and discharge water, what happens between the two should be none of their business. Their individual members, assuming they are ratepayers, will of course have a say.

      Huh, my comment didn’t take by the looks of it.

      Tl;Dr I said thanks for the discussion, this is a valid concern, and while I’m not worried I get why it should be addressed.

        I can see both your comments.

        Lemmy doesn’t seem to like long comment chains for some reason.
