Despite repeated assurances to the contrary from the
Government, David Round argues its new foreshore and seabed
law will enable iwi to prohibit public access to the
beaches.
Prime Minister John Key yesterday raised for the first time
the prospect of not repealing the Foreshore and Seabed Act if
there is no agreement on what should replace it.
The foreshore and seabed legislation will almost certainly be
repealed, but no decision has been taken on what might
replace it, Prime Minister John Key said today.
