National’s treaty negotiations spokesperson says this weekend’s crown apology to Taranaki iwi Ngati Maru is an important part of the healing process for iwi and hapu.
Joseph Mooney says the crown is right to acknowledge the serious harm it has done in the past.
“We need to acknowledge the past. We need to deal with this in the present but ultimately tis is about making sure out people can do well in the future,” he says.
Mr Mooney says he’s disappointed with the way settlement progress has slowed under Labour.
