- New Zealand’s Parliament passed the third reading of the Ngāti Ruapani mai Waikaremoana Claims Settlement Bill.
- The settlement provides a Crown apology for breaches of the Treaty of Waitangi, NZ$24 million in redress, and six official place-name changes.
Parliament has passed the final reading of the Ngāti Ruapani mai Waikaremoana Claims Settlement Bill, a measure welcomed by hapū around Lake Waikaremoana.
The bill will give legal effect to a Deed of Settlement signed at Tūwai, formerly known as Tuai, near the lake in February, once it receives royal assent.
Under the settlement, the Crown will apologise for breaches of the Treaty of Waitangi and provide NZ$24 million in redress. Six place names will also officially change to recognise iwi associations with the areas.
