Coming up on Te Karere... A mother faces the man who murdered her teenaged son outside a Kapiti nightclub. What's going on with the Maori Council and the Crown Forestry Rental Trust? Maanu Paul joins me live. And Maori royal watchers fawn over new pictures of Prince George at his christening. Due to the live nature of Te Karere, some segments will not be subtitled. Tena koutou katoa, and welcome to Te Karere. Sean Strongman-Lintern has been described by his mum as a bright and caring young man at the sentencing of the man charged with her son's manslaughter. Sean died when he was stabbed to death in a Kapiti Coast car park during a fight in September last year. Irena Smith has the details. Still suffering from the pain of losing her son. The accused, Tristim Lee Eastham, has been sentenced to six years for manslaughter. Last year in September, a fight broke out between the two at this Kapiti Coast pub. Sean was then stabbed to death. Sean's family say he was a bright young man who was studying at Victoria University at the time of his death. They say he wasn't quick to anger no matter what another person did. The pub has now closed and liquor laws have tightened, but these measures, and the sentence today, still won't bring their son back. Irena Smith, Te Karere. Police justified in shooting Lachan Lelly-Tumarae. That is the finding of the Independent Police Conduct Authority (IPCA) in a release today. The report shows details of the fatal police shooting of the 19 year old on a small settlement just outside of Hastings in 2011. The police say the officers had not wanted to shoot Kelly-Tumarae but had no other option after they were threatened several times following a lengthy pursuit. The chase lasted over a distance of 18km ending outside the Omahu Marae Cemetery. The officer discharged a total of 14 rounds from his pistol. Four of the bullets wounded Mr Kelly-Tumarae and another bullet appeared to have passed through his clothing without injuring him. In total 13 holes were found in Mr Kelly-Tumarae's various layers of clothing which were caused by 5 bullets. The family didn't wish to give any comment at this time. Opposition parties say the government should be listening to the people and stop asset sales now. Investments into Meridian Energy have fallen short of what the government had hoped for with only 62,000 NZers taking up the share offer. That's forced the government to drop the share price to just $1.50. Labour and the Greens say the share offer is a joke. Labour and the Greens say the referendum on asset sales will give NZers their chance to have a say. We have Mana Party leader Hone Harawira live with us now. Tena koe, Hone. You have an unshakable belief in Te Kohanga Reo and its kaupapa, but even you can't deny it's well overdue for an overhaul? We're unable to provide subtitles. Hone Harawira, thank you for your time. After the break, can this double-hull canoe become a new Auckland tourist attraction? What's going on with the NZ Maori Council and the Crown Forestry Rental Trust? For months now the Crown Forestry Rental Trust (CFRT) has been at loggerheads with the NZ Maori Council, and now a court has ordered both sides to sort it out. Earlier this year the Maori Council took court proceedings against the trust with claims it was acting unfairly towards Maori, namely the northern clients of Donna Hall. The trust has hit back with demands for Sir Eddie Durie to resign from the CFRT board because of a conflict of interest. So what now? Co-chair Maanu Paul joins us now in Rotorua. Tena koe Maanu. What is the High Court's decision? We're unable to provide subtitles. Maanu Paul, thank you for joining us. Tommorrow a new TV channel will be launched with Polynesians and Maori in mind. But coconet is not an ordinary channel. As its name suggests its an online tv station. It's a virtual island homeland where people get to explore and interact with other Pacific peoples. Those keen are being encouraged to chat and upload stories and experiences of living the Pacific way where ever they may be. It's the first Pacific site of its kind and was created right here in NZ. A new Maori tourism attraction will open next month here in Auckland. Navigator Tours offers daily trips on waka into the Waitemata Harbour for all interested in a Maori sea experience. Here is Pere Wihongi's report. These are the sailors of the first Maori sailing tourism service in Auckland. Hoturoa Kerr is one of the many leaders who will be guiding tourists in their new venture. The main aim is to show the people of Auckland, as well as foreigners, an aspect of Maori culture and the Pacific. The boat will also be used to educate youth. By working together on a boat like this, they'll find results within themselves, to go into the world and be able to say I am person who holds fast to the traditions of my ancestors. Both sides will benefit. Aiming to hold a sustainable business, and with the money of the tourists we'll be able to help our youth. On November 1, Navigator tours will open, and tomorrow they will debut the boat by bringing the tall ships in to the Waitemata Harbor. Our ancestors did not land here accidentally, they were experts, because of their knowledge, their team work, their strength, we now live in this country. And with that knowledge they will sail in to the distance. Pere Wihongi, Te Karere. After the break, Maori royal watchers await the official photos of Prince George's christening. And then the weather. To the weather now. For weather, see tvnz.co.nz. The future King of England, and third in the line to the royal throne, has been christened in London. So why should Maori care? According to the Woman's Weekly a lot of Maori really enjoy following the on-going developments of the royal family. Anzac Pikia has more. Some say he's just a baby. But the readers of this magazine think differently. And this royal watcher says Maori are particulally interested in following William, Kate, George and Her Majesty. When the royal wedding took place they sold so many copies there was a reprint of the magazine. And staying with the little prince, a special edition is on its way. Long live the Queen. Anzac Pikia, Te Karere. That's all we have for today. Turou Hawaiki. Captions were made possible with funding from NZ on Air.
