Coming up on Te Karere... We have breaking news - the High Court has issued its decision around the sale of the Crafar farms. It's Day 3 of the Urewera Four trial and we hear what the first witnesses have to say. We're live at the last consultation hui on the sale of state-owned assets. And what does it take to win gold? We have the plight of an Olympic athlete. Due to the live nature of Te Karere, some segments will not be subtitled. Tena koutou katoa, and welcome to Te Karere. We begin today with breaking news. The High Court has ordered the Government to review its decision to allow the sale of the Crafar farms to a Hong Kong-based conglomerate. We have reactions from the main parties and Maori investors from Sir Michael Faye's consortium. There's been an uproar in Parliament this afternoon in the aftermath of the High Court decision on the Crafar farms land sale. The court has ordered the Government to reconsider its approval of the deal. Labour leader David Shearer is challenging the integrity of the decision made by government ministers saying the court's ruling shows their actions were flawed. Today the Auckland High Court heard evidence regarding the installation of police surveillance cameras in Ruatoki. It is day three of the Urewera Four trial. Tini Molyneux has this report. Geoff Jago first went into the Ruatoki Valley in November 2006. Geoff Jago entered the Ruatoki Valley 25 times after to install surveillance cameras which captured the images now shown in court. There was also varied descriptions of what was found in Taiarahia. Adding to that, John Key is also said to have visited Ruatoki at that time. And concern was expressed regarding what the cameras did not see. Police continue to give evidence but do not want their identities revealed. Tini Molyneux, Te Karere. The Government is holding its final hui with Maori around the sale of state assets. The hui have overwhelmingly rejected the policy and have demanded that any sale be bound by the Treaty Principles. Jasmyn Pearson is at the last hui in Wellington and we cross live to her now. The SOEs Minister has gone in to meet with local spokespeople. there were around 30 protesters behind me who've come to make their submissions at the final asset sales consultation hui. Just in case the Minister of SOEs thought he had an easy road ahead. We, the Ngati Porou people, strongly oppose the removal of Section 9 of the SOE Act. This has been the response from Gisborne today about the Treaty clause in the SOE Act. But it is the starting point of a bigger issue that is yet to be resolved between the Crown and Maori. Part of the reason is that this year the Government will a float a 49% share of these four SOEs but how can it sell when it's obligations to Maori are not yet fulfilled. According to the Chairman of Ngati Porou, without Section 9 Maori have no legs to stand on. ...to oppose the Crown's sale of NZ assets. And in Wellington today, the sentiment was the same. This academic is encouraging all Maori to make submissions to the consultation. The deadline for submissions for this issue is the 22nd of February. After that a report will go up to Cabinet and it's likely to be weeks rather than months before Government make a call on what, if any, new legislation may look like. Remember that the Minister has already said publicly that SOE shares are likely to be floated by the third quarter - Jasmyn Pearson, thank you for that report. Let's now explore what the Labour Party thinks about the consultation with Maori - Parekura Horomia joins us now from wellington. The following will not be subtitled due to the live nature of the interview. Go to our website after 7pm to watch this interview with subtitles. Parekura Horomia, thank you for your time today. After the break, are Maori Aucklanders getting their fair share of council monies? And why do these people want to occupy their local school? Kia ora, whanau. Ella and Whetu here to prove that breast screening's no big deal. Now we're going to position each of your breasts on this plate and ask you to stand very still while we take your X-ray. Ooh. Squishes a bit. I'll need my push-up bra after this, Whetu. I'll need my push-up bra after this, Whetu. WOMEN LAUGH All done. And if everything's OK, we'll see you again in two years. It has to be two years, because breast cancers can grow in that time, and you wanna find them while they're still small. Did it hurt? Did it hurt? Nah. I'm so glad I did it. Amene. Leave our buildings alone. That's the plea of Te Kura Kaupapa Maori o Arowhenua in Invercargill to the Ministry of Education. The ministry wish to demolish the school's assembly hall due to low attendance. A dark cloud hangs over Te Kura Maori o Arowhenua. It's a waste to demolish the building because it's not causing any harm, it's just standing here. Last Friday, they received the letter from the Ministry of Education. The assembly hall is to be demolished this week. The Associate Minister of Education Craig Ross says the school has no way of paying for the building. We say let it be for the sake of the community. Craig Ross says the school has no way of paying for the building. We say let it be for the sake of the community. The building is used for meetings, concerts and for kapa haka practices. It's a place for the school and the wider community to come together. Last night, the community and the school's students wanted to protest by staying at the school but the ministry has forbidden it. We will fight despite the difficulty. They are also weary of the fact that the building Te Whare o Tainui's mauri has yet to be lifted. To them, it's just a building, but to us, the house has it's own life-force and a sacred name. The school's elder has come to bless the building. The building is sturdy at the moment, but despite the school's objections, it will soon be nothing but rubble. Rapaera Tawhai, Te Karere. The Independent Maori Statutory Board says the Auckland Council must move quickly to commit more spending to Maori development. The board says it will consider taking action if the council's 10 year budget isn't changed. It says the draft budget commits less than a third of the $295 million granted to Maori and the board believes more is needed to improve the position of Maori. Chairman David Taipari says the plan may be good, but the funding is inadequate. When will the protests on the Auckland Harbour end? Demonstrations took place again this morning, but there may be a silver lining to the incident. This may be the week for the workers of The Ports of Auckland. This morning their protests began with their refusal to move This morning, their protests began with their refusal to move containers belonging to Con Linxx's company, a company with connections to The Ports of Auckland. For a whole week. For many months, the union and the Ports have been debating over pay and working conditions. The Ports would like to contract out work to 330 outside contractors. An outcome has yet to be decided. But another battle lies ahead. The workers will strike again on the 24th. Anzac Pikia, Te Karere. A Maori perspective is transforming the way the world teaches Maths. The book 'Collaborating to Meet Language Challenges in Indigenous Mathematics Classrooms' was published in New York. One of the writers Uenuku Fairhall is surprised that his book is being used abroad. Ngahuia Wade was at Te Koutu School in Rotorua today. Teaching maths the indigenous way. Teaching maths the indigenous way. For me, Math is a very easy subject to teach. It's this attitude from co-author Uenuku Fairhall which is exemplified in this book which interested a New York publisher. In Mathematics, students are lucky as they have shapes and numbers, not just language to help them understand. It's now being used in Russia, America, England and South Africa as a tool to help teach Maths. It's a resource to teach - no matter what the subject. Today, the kids think they're just cutting up shapes and making a rose - but the teacher has got an agenda. - but the teacher has got an agenda.
