⚠️ IMPORTANT WHĀNAU – Read This

The government is trying to change the Te Ture Whenua Māori Act — again. This time they want to:
❌ Appoint Crown agents to control our land
❌ Bring back 99-year leases
❌ Review trusts without our consent

This is how we lost our whenua before. It’s happening again — and we only have until 23 May to stop it.

✍️ Email your submission to: [email protected]
✅ Say:

I oppose Crown-appointed agents

I oppose 99-year leases

I support Māori control over Māori land – forever

📢 Share this with your whānau, hapū, iwi – don’t let silence be taken as agreement.
