Threatened schools, particularly the two Maori language schools, lodged complaints with the Waitangi Tribunal.

Description: A hikoi marches into the distance unaware that they have trampled over two children representing 'child abuse'. They realise that it is a 'foreshore and seabed' hikoi again. Context - Labour's social development spokeswoman, Annette King, said although a Green Paper was "laudable", the Government already had enough information on child abuse. The Green Paper process, which is a tentative report into an issue, meant it would be months before the Government enacted any policy. Labour Party social development spokeswoman, Annette King, says she is 'inclined to think it's more of a political stunt' from a party which said before the last election that they were going to make children a priority. (Source: www.stuff.co.nz, 25 July 2011) The cartoon suggests that Maori consider Seabed and Foreshore issues more important than child abuse. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
