Alluding to Godwin is Godwinning.
God won? ;-)

Or how much <stereotype> a rich American </stereotype> would pay for it.
The Act has provisions on "Alienation" Here

To anyone trying to cross it, and I guess how much they would pay is a fair estimation.
Never mind "Market Forces" will level out that "Playing Feild" :-) But seriously. The FSA has provisions on that. The denial of use has been used as a form of protest and is, in my opinion, less likley to be a problem under this act and its settlements that it was previously. So when all is settled there will be no protests (I feel a Tui moment comming on)

Those parts of the beach below the MHWSM but above, say, the mean low water level can, presumably, be extremely valuable?
To whom and how would you calculate value?
I presume, as I have not done or read any study, that most of this 30% would be in the South Island? -

When I hear the Maori Party speak on social policy I often wonder how they were ever in bed with Labour.
There are some that would force me to Godwin this thread if I were to comment.

" The overwhelming majority of these parcels (about 12,300) extended to, or beyond, the mean high water mark.
The FSA is restricted to the area between mean high spring tide and the Territorial limit. It also covers riverbeds and some lake-beds. Hardly valuable parcels of land. Unless they are of cultural significance.

On the FSA
I think it is a matter of significance. To the average Pakeha the seaside is a place to take the familly on a nice day, to Maori it has a much greater significance. So to treat everyone equally on this was never going to work. The "violation" of Article 3 could be quoted from both "sides" for totally diferent reasons and perspectives.
I think that even though the FSA "Ruffled Feathers" historicly it will be seen as a way of coming to terms with these differences. -
Totally off topic but regarding the loss of 5? undersea cables in the Middle East, have a look at this

If Banks could get a Donald Duck going when he's angry
