Maori Statutory Board process needs to be better
Auckland Councillor Cameron Brewer says the process for the Auckland Council and the Independent Maori Statutory Board negotiating the annual funding agreement needs to be desperately improved going forward.
"The process to date has been a complete debacle and the council's leadership has badly let down the public and the board with its empty assurances and u-turns.
"The most alarming factor is that the council and board have to do this all again very soon for the 2011/12 year. Let's not forget that we've only agreed on the interim eight-month 10/11 year and the next full financial year will undoubtedly cost more.
"The Mayor's got to take responsibility and prescribe a much better, fairer and open process going forward. We can't repeat this mess every year," says Cameron Brewer.
