There is a certain discomfort that comes from witnessing the lavishness of the America's Cup co-existing with the shortage of public housing and shelter for our homeless in Auckland's CBD. The visibility of the America's Cup is also in part due to the amazing scenery of the Hauraki Gulf and the Rangitoto highlands. These are precious resources that should be protected, and the Crown has an obligation to uphold the kaitiaki rights of tangata whenua. We know the Hauraki Gulf is on the brink of ecological collapse; so it's great to see people like Peter Burling, helmsman of Team New Zealand, know the importance of having healthy, thriving oceans. I want to acknowledge the work he has done to protect our oceans, including co-funding the Live Ocean Charitable Trust. That is a marine conservation charity with goals such as ocean and research innovation that can happen within a mātauranga Māori framework.
