Kua haehae ngā hihi o Matariki. Ka kōrerotia tēnei whakataukī i te wā ka kite mārama atu i a Matariki i te rangi. Ko Matariki te wā e kōrerorero ai ngā pūrākau, he hokinga mahara, he whakatikatika mō te Tau Hou. Nā reira, kia ū koutou ki ēnei kaupapa mō tēnei hararei. Ngā mihi o Tau Hou Māori!

Mahara mai ki te pānui o Simpson Grierson.

In this issue, we first say moe mai rā ki te Rangatira, Moana Jackson. We then take a look at the key developments in te ao ture, including our observations on:

• the Ngāti Whātua Ōrakei decision where the High Court considered whether there is exclusive mana whenua in Tāmaki Makaurau;

• the High Court’s decision to reject judicial review of the ‘vegetable exception’ in the National Policy Statement for Freshwater 2020;

• the continuing co-governance debate;

• the Government’s Environment Aotearoa 2022 report;

• the Three Waters Reform; and

• the New Zealand Māori council joining the Re Edwards (Te Whakatohea No 2) appeal.

Mauri ora!
