Description

'The Politician' cartoon strip. Refers to the proposal to repeal the Foreshore and Seabed Act. PM John Key says that if it is repealed, ownership will go to the public domain, rather than to the crown or Maori. Public domain means that nobody owns it. The Maori Party will have the power to veto it, Prime Minister John Key says. He also says it would not proceed unless the Maori Party supported it - effectively a veto - even if there were enough support from other parties to pass it. So if the Maori Party vetoes the repeal the status quo remains - the foreshore and seabed remain 'owned' by the crown and if they do not veto it becomes 'public domain' - either way it is not 'owned' by Maori. The Maori Party will lose favour with their constituents whatever choice they make and their relationship with National will be one of lack of trust.
