DAVID GARRETT (ACT) to the Attorney-General: Further to the Prime Minister’s answer to oral question No. 3 yesterday, what are “the concerns that New Zealanders had about solely having Crown ownership of the foreshore and seabed”, and how does the Government’s proposal to legislate for iwi ownership of the foreshore and seabed alleviate these concerns?
 
 
DAVID GARRETT (ACT) to the Attorney-General: Will any legislation replacing the Foreshore and Seabed Act 2004 contain a clause preventing the Māori owners of sections of the foreshore and seabed held under customary title from charging or attempting to charge other New Zealanders for access to the beach?

DAVID GARRETT (ACT) to the Attorney-General: Will customary title give its iwi holders an effective veto over coastal activities such as aquaculture, building or extending a building over foreshore or seabed, and undertaking any excavation of the foreshore and seabed, given that customary title grants title-holders “the right to permit activities that need a coastal permit or resource consent”?
 
 
RAHUI KATENE (Māori Party—Te Tai Tonga) to the Attorney-General: How does the Government’s review of the Foreshore and Seabed Act reflect the Cabinet-agreed principles that the development of a new regime must reflect the Treaty of Waitangi, its principles, and related jurisprudence?
