When we look at a joint management agreement, which provides for Taranaki Regional Council and Ngāti Maru to exercise any of the local authority's functions, powers, or duties relating to a natural or physical resource jointly, there are problems with that, because rather than actually giving the property rights redress that Ngāti Maru deserve as part of a settlement, this gives another form of right to make decisions over other people's property through the resource consent process. So it becomes problematic when we think, "Well, how is it that addressing the breach of contract by the Crown with Ngāti Maru then leads to giving Ngāti Maru decision making, potentially, over other people's consent applications?" So decision makers in consent applications have derived their powers from democratically elected councils. Yet in this case, the bill appears to confer those rights of decision making to Ngāti Maru as part of a settlement, and that is not through the normal process through electing regional and district councils.
