Description: A sad and pathetic Chris Finlayson wet through and with his glasses askew holds a dripping document entitled 'Coastal areas Bill'. Context; Chris Finlayson is both the Minister for Treaty Settlements and the Attorney-General who approves those settlements! The Marine and Coastal Area Bill does not "confiscate" any land. It repeals the Foreshore and Seabed Act 2004, and takes the marine and coastal area out of the Crown ownership created by the 2004 Act. It creates a Common Marine and Coastal Area (excluding the 12,499 or so existing private titles that partially include marine and coastal area) which is not owned, and which can never be sold. It will be regulated by the Crown, as are many things that the Crown does not "own" - for example land (the Continental Shelf), resources (air and water) and legal entities (stock markets). The Bill provides for the interests and rights of all New Zealanders in the common marine and coastal area, and is based on the understanding that these rights can co-exist.

Description: Energy and Resources Minister Gerry Brownlee sits at a table having a glass of wine with PM John Key. Gerry Brownlee reads a newspaper with the headline 'Cannibal quip "in poor taste"' and comments that a Tuhoe kaumatua says John Key has really put his foot in his mouth. John Key replies that it is possibly safer that putting his foot in the kaumatua's mouth. Refers to a 'joke' by PM John Key when speaking at a tourism event in Auckland; Mr Key made a joke about enjoying a dinner at a Ngati Porou marae on the East Coast this week. He said 'the good news is that I was having dinner with Ngati Porou as opposed to their neighbouring iwi, which is Tuhoe, in which case I would have been dinner, which wouldn't have been quite so attractive'. The joke has been labelled badly timed and insensitive by a Maori Party MP. It was specifically referring to Key's apparent about-turn by denying that Tuhoe would ever be granted ownership of the Urewera National Park after Tuhoe believed that this was going to be the case.
