Tamaki Makaurau - on the right track

This is good for Nga Mana Whenua o Tamaki Makaurau

From stuff
"Eleven of Auckland’s volcanic cones are to be gifted to the collective and will be managed by it and the new Auckland Supercity.
Iwi will have first right of refusal over Crown land in the region.
Ngati Whatua of central Auckland will receive $18 million in redress payments for past wrongs.
The agreement also provides for the sale and leaseback of Devonport naval base land on commercial terms.
The Crown has also committed to explore the sale and leaseback of land under Mt Eden Prison.
Te Kawerau a Maki of West Auckland will receive $6.5 million.
The agreement also provides for the transfer of Riverhead Forest and the exploration of the sale and leaseback of the land under Paremoremo Prison.
Various other reserves are also handed over.
 Things will be very different in Tamaki Makaurau now I suspect.
