Prime Minister John KeyWaitangi Iwi Leaders 2014 Forum

Sir, welcome back. In December 2013, you rejected our constructive $2.0 billion proposal towards 50,000 new jobs for our people (from a $15 carbon floor price) to address the $NZ600 million loss suffered by Iwi as a direct result of your policy.

I strongly urge that you and your cabinet (and officials) immediately reflect on your decision and our concerns towards working closely with Iwi leaders in the next few weeks and months on options to substantively address our concern on these matters.

Our Resolutions here at Waitangi this week

1. Iwi Chairs receive and note the progress made on climate-change;2. Iwi Chairs approve the detailed 2014 Climate-change Escalation Strategy and Media Plan; 3. Iwi Chairs approve efforts to collaborate internationally with First-Nations and other indigenous people
