Description

Prime Minister John Key stands in the Urewera National Park and says that 'The easy thing would have been giving it to Tuhoe who would cherish it forever. The tough call was keeping it so future generations could mine the crap out of it if they so felt...' Refers to Key's apparent about-turn after Tuhoe believed that they were going be granted ownership of the Urewera National Park by denying that this would ever be the case. Refers also to the government's desire to test drill for valuable minerals various 'Schedule 4' areas of national parks - that is the most environmentally valuable.
