I have not forgotten! My Honours dissertation was on the productivity of Māori land, and I have some articles in the archives about this. Am in the process of submitting on the Government review so will have some more to say about this in the coming weeks.

Good luck in your new role, which I do look forward to reading about. (I’ve really enjoyed your writing on legal issues; it’s worrisome to hear your take on the tribunal process. Will you be writing more on that?) I went to a CTU-iwi leaders hui in Tauranga last year (wrote a little bit about it from an observer perspective), which was a gathering that reflected the union movement’s recognition of the increasing importance of Māori as employers and business owners, as well as a desire to change the labour relations environment in this rapidly growing part of the economy. It was a really interesting hui – lots of issues in there re Māori as workers and bosses.

I do hope your hard work gets recognition, it is indeed a shame when Maori are divided we end up the losers

“We learn from history that we do not learn from history”

I wish you the best for your future

Hi Joshua, glad that you are happy in your new role but also glad that you will keep this information streaming out to us who may not necessarily stay tuned with Maori issues. This has certainly helped me stay abreast of important issues for us as Maori. Kia kaha in your new role. I’m also interested in Maori development. More positive and all that e hoa……………………………………………………….
