Maori Party co leader Marama Fox on Paakiwaha.
Maori Party co-leader Marama Fox says her party was ready to abandon its agreement with the National Government, if the Government refused to move on plans to form the Kermadec Ocean Sanctuary
The Maori Partry co leader says they support Te Ohu Kaimoana because this is about basic treaty rights. She says the treaty settlement of the fisheries, that Sealord deal, was hard fought and hard pressed; the first of its kind.
She says if you can do this to a fisheries settlement or to a treaty settlement at this time, you could do it to any treaty settlement, and every Maori leader in the country who is currently negotiating or has negotiated treaty settlement is very concerned about this, and it is serious.
