16 February 2012 Coming up on Te Karere... How did a party celebrating the day of love and romance go horribly wrong? A 30-year-old woman has been charged for murdering a 33-year-old man in Gisborne. Where to now for the iwi interests in the Crafar farms? What does it take to win gold? We're with an athlete preparing for the Olympic Games. Due to the live nature of Te Karere, some segments will not be subtitled. Tena koutou katoa, and welcome to Te Karere. It's the day of love and romance - but a party celebrating Valentine's Day in Gisborne on Tuesday turned horribly wrong and one person is dead. A 30-year-old woman has been charged for the murder and will appear in court soon. Irena Smith is in Gisborne and she filed this report. Police continue their investigations at the house where Lawrence Teepa-Moon was stabbed and died on arrival at the hospital just up the road. His partner has been charged with murder. Police arrived at the house on Tuesday night to attend to a incident where a man had been stabbed but one of the family who lived next door was first on the scene. But it was the delay in ambulance services arriving at the scene that saddens him. Family of Lawrence's partner tell me that it was suppose to be a party to celebrate Valentine's, but instead it ended in a tragic death. Family members say they knew of the history of domestic violence in the house. Family of the accused arrived at court today but the accused did not appear. The accused is currently in custody here. Police say she will appear in court either today or next week. Both families now await the return of Lawrence's body from post-mortem examinations in Palmerston North. Irena Smith, Te Karere. The chairman of two King Country land trusts says he wants to establish a relationship with Shanghai Pengxin, one day after the High Court ordered the Government to reconsider the Chinese bid to buy the Crafar farms. Tiroa E and Te Hape B trusts were part of the Crafar farms purchase group who sought a judicial review to prevent the farms being sold. Hardie Peni says the High Court ruling was received very well among the trustees. He says despite their submission to the Government his group would still like to talk with Shanghai Pengxin on strategies that work for everyone. Justice Rodney Hansen was adjourned the hearing of the Urewera Four after one of the accused, Urs Signer, called in sick. Signer gave permission for one of the witnesses to be called today. The witness claims to have followed Te Rangikaiwhiria from Auckland to White Pine Bush near Awakeri. Although the medical certificate instructs Urs Signer to take three days rest, the hearing continued until noon. Police gathered on Te Ohaaki Marae in Huntly at the request of locals to welcome the newly created Huntly West Neighbourhood Policing Team.

The Maori Affairs Minister says Maori give NZ a unique edge over its competitors. He told an audience today that the Maori economy was worth $37 billion to NZ in 2010. The speech was part of a review of the Maori contribution to the NZ economy. After the break, Parliament extends its hours to debate six Treaty settlements; and what does it take to win gold at the Olympic Games? Elders of Ngai Tamanuhiri are tinged with sadness and excitement because after 20 years of negotiating their treaty claim because after 20 years of negotiating their treaty claim will have its first reading in Parliament tonight. It's one of six tribes that'll see its settlement progress through the House by the end of the week under the government's new Cognate Bill process. It's one of many journeys they've taken over the years. Tonight they'll see the beginning of the fruition of all the negotiating. Ngai Tamanuhiri are overwhelmed. Noel Raihana and members of the tribe have come to Wellington today for the first reading of their treaty settlement at Parliament. He's happy but remembers the struggle of his tribe. The whole settlement isn't fulfilled but it is better than nothing. Some of the lands from this area will be returned to address the Crown's wrongdoings to the Ngai Tamanuhiri people. Te Kuri-a-Paoa is particularly memorable to Temepara Isaacs. When I was a child I use to climb this mountain all the time. The tribe is estimated to receive $11 million once the claim is finally settled. They are the first of the Turanga tribes that were grouped under Labour's policy to start settling. I want to see these old claims through. That's my objective. Our people should have resources and money to be able to build a future. We want to return home and tell our people that we've successfully completed the first step here in Wellington. That's exactly what they'll do, after the Bill is read for the first time in parliament this evening. Jasmyn Pearson, Te Karere. Ngati Maakino is another claimant group whose settlement will be debated by parliament tomorrow. Te Ariki Morehu is part of the group in Wellington to witness this important occasion and he joins us now. 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. Te Ariki Morehu, thank you for your time. Piripi Menary has put in a complaint to NZ Herald over Paul Holmes' article about Maori protesting. He says Mr Holmes describes Maori as irrational when it came to politics. Mr Holmes' column arguably breached s61 of the Human Rights Act 1993. Mr Holmes' column arguably breached s61 of the Human Rights Act 1993. Mr Menary was unavailable today, so we spoke to one of his supporters. Menary will be boycotting the NZ Herald as long as Paul Holmes remains as a contributor. Ngati Whatua are seeking lease payments from major companies. Lease payments haven't been honoured for 15 years, Anzac Pikia has more. Commercial land in Auckland is expensive. Some companies here don't want to pay the right amount of rent money to their landlords. In our opinion the price they're asking for is ridiculous. Its disrespectful. The two companies are BNZ Bank and GE Finance. Tiwana couldn't say how much Ngati Whatua wanted but the lawyers are discussing the issue as we speak. The judge has seven days to asses this issue and in a months time he'll deliver a response. The iwi owns about 20ha of ex-railway land in the area, worth at least $460 million but for 15 years it didn't charge a cent in rent for dozens of properties like Vector Arena. We've already been paid by one company. The tenant knew the terms and prepaid. This companies paid from the beginning. Ngati Whatua returns to court next month to discuss rental issues with the concerning companies. Anzac Pikia, Te Karere.
