Mayor backs property rights?

leaving the town after 35 years, after being “forced” to sell his property, which had been occupied by a local iwi

checked when they bought the section that there were no land claims or any other issues with it, and after being assured there were none, bought it

Ihumato MkIII.  Proving once again your property rights mean zilch in New Zealand.

iwi members felt betrayed over what were assurances the culturally significant site at Ahipara would be fully protected as a public reserve

The council purchased said piece of 'prime waterfront land' usurping the owner's rights as the locals continued to occupy.

Who would buy land that was being occupied and nothing was being done to move the occupiers off?

Ever ready to charge exorbitantly inflated rates, it's nice to know how the Far North District Council Mayor backs the ratepayer  and their property rights. Not!
