MEDIA RELEASE
1 April 2009 – MP for Te Tai Hauauru – Tariana Turia

Greymouth Petroleum’s commitment to consult with tangata whenua over drilling at the Tikorangi pa site in north Taranaki has been commended by the local Maori Party MP Tariana Turia.

“Its great to see small steps being taken and the company giving a written assurance that they are ‘committed to these hapu consultation processes.’”

“I understand the company’s chief executive [Mark Dunphy] is back from America now and that he is yet to set a date to meet with representatives of the Otaraua hapu – I’m looking forward to seeing effective engagement on this issue.”

Gordon Campbell: On Why We Can’t Survive Two More Years Of This

Remember those silent movies where the heroine is tied to the railway tracks or going over the waterfall in a barrel? Finance Minister Nicola Willis seems intent on portraying herself as that damsel in distress. According to Willis, this country’s current economic problems have all been caused by the spending schemes cooked up by the dastardly and long-departed Grant Robertson, in cahoots with Treasury. So don’t blame her for the current state of the New Zealand economy. We appear to be paying her over $300,000 a year to wring her hands and blame everyone else for the country’s plight.
