Note that this govt is applying the same pressure to other Councils to sell or mortgage their assets to make up for other funding options which the govt refuses to allow. Christchurch is just the biggest prize, with its substantial asset base eyed up by lazy investors accustomed to a diet of pork.

My feeling is that at the heart of “it” was spite from Iti that he marginalised himself from Tuhoe elders and other leaders seeking to negotiate a settlement with the crown.
I believe you were being asked (but not really in a constructive way) to give more reason for trusting your opinion on this. If you had linkages with Tuhoe or with iwi politcs in general, your statement might hold more authority for some people.

OnPoint: Student Loans are Loans (Duh.), in reply to Steve Barnes,
you would think that this "Government" would see betting on students to be a better return than say, a pokie machine or 500.
Backing ourselves would be truly ambitious, yes. Now who's pointing that out?
