We also heard from other hapū who applied to the Waitangi Tribunal. They sought some decisions from the tribunal around the mandate of Ngāti Hinerangi; the tribunal dealt with those issues—whether they would decline the urgent applications, or dismiss certain applications—because there was already a mechanism in place for any hapū of the eight hapū that are part of Ngāti Hinerangi. There is always a mechanism and a process in place as part of the mandate arrangements that they could have followed through on. So those opportunities were available to those particular hapū, but it was, again, very important that we were able to hear the kōrero and to record that, not only through our submission process, but also here in the House.
