wow more land being given back? what's next, the whole south island?

Jordan Bell2026-07-01T02:42:47.000Z

mate it's about justice, not 'giving away'. those lands were stolen

Blake Turner2026-07-01T01:58:47.000Z

About time some of this was sorted out. Long overdue for the iwi to get back what was taken.

Jordan Bell2026-07-01T02:04:47.000Z

Noah Bennett2026-07-01T02:21:47.000Z
