Its a shame people are mixing up a settlement issue with the removal of a piece of land from the Hauraki Gulf Marine Park, by amendment to the Act.
This is not a Treaty issue; it is an issue about private ownership and development of reserve land. The land is being removed from Reserve status by an Act of Parliament to enable it to be sold. The land is then being offered to Ngati Whatua for purchase under commercial redress.  This indicates that future intentions are for commercial development of the reserve. I am not opposed in the land being handed under Treaty settlement if it stayed in reserve status as part of the Hauraki Gulf Marine Park.
