Peata Melbourne, Te Karere. Two King Country iwi are at odds over who should have the mandate to settle their Treaty of Waitangi claims. Te Maru o Rereahu Trust wants to negotiate their own claims directly with the crown and doesn't accept being included as a hapu in Ngati Maniapoto's Treaty claims. Eruera Rerekura reports. This spokesperson for Te Maru o Rereahu Trust says the door is open for them to pursue their own Treaty claims with the Crown. However, this Ngati Maniapoto man says his board doesn't want to separate the claims. We haven't sat down together yet with Te Maru o Rereahu to consider that matter. There have been three meetings over the past three months with the Maniapoto Maori Trust Board and Te Maru o Rereahu Trust, and the Maniapoto Maori Trust doesn't want to separate the claims up. Mr Katu says the Minister of Treaty Settlements, Chris Finlayson, wants them to work together with Ngati Maniapoto, but says Te Maru o Rerehau is fine to negotiate its own claims. We don't want to split the wider family up. We're keeping to the wishes of our ancestors' of generations right through to today to keep together as one. But Mr Katu says the Maniapoto Maori Trust Board has already agreed to Te Maru o Rereahu Trust sorting out their own issues with the Crown. We haven't yet carefully sat down together to consider a way forward beyond the claims that the board has and the desire to settle them as one group. The time has been extended until the 4th of November for Ngati Maniapoto and Ngati Rereahu people to decide who should have the mandate to settle their Treaty claims. Eruera Rerekura, Te Karere.

Meanwhile, other reports claim that police were brought in to forcibly remove protesters from private property. A public memorial service for the former president A public memorial service for the former president of the New Zealand Council of Trade Unions, the late Helen Kelly was held today in Wellington. It was significant as it gave the community of trade workers a great opportunity to farewell an iconic leader in her own right. Te Okiwa McLean reports. Michael Fowler Centre was crowded. As the masses gathered to farewell this iconic unionist at a public memorial service. Kelly was at the forefront of a lot of protests fighting against the government for the rights of union workers. And that part of her legacy lives on in these union workers. The sentiments are true. She was a great leader and support to us in our work. She was there to lend us her strength to stand up for ourselves against the big corporations. It is abundantly clear she touched many lives. According to some of her old colleagues she touched, not only union workers lives but the wider country The main question is who will fulfil her position? A staunch woman who fort for the people will be missed, not only by the Council of Trades Unions, but by many. Te Okiwa McLean, Te Karere.
