John Key on the new Marine and Coastal Area Bill

John responds to New Zealanders who have expressed concern about the Government's plans to change the Foreshore and Seabed Act, noting that much of what is making New Zealanders apprehensive is bad information spread by opponents to the new legislation.

I think the point of clarification which is most needed on the Marine and Coastal Area Bill for the general public, is whether or not coastal areas where customary title has been issued, will be open for public access. The assumption is that it will not. Can this be clearly explained?

Hi John, I initiated three canal housing developments in Sth Auckland, Lake Taupo & Wellington .Existing regulations have bankrupted me & none of these projects proceeded.I waisted 15 yrs on these projects & they could have produced much employment & many millions in tax dollars.Freehold seabed reclamation & foreshore canal housing should be allowed. Not like the nightmare I had dealing with Maori who approved & then refused my Taupo development because they own the lake bed. Regards, John Goodman

I think that now that Labour has withdrawn it's support National should dump the Foreshore and Seabed Bill. It might be revoked anyway without cross party support. Personally I prefer Crown Ownership. I think that this new foreshore bill will loose National a lot of votes among non maori and Winston Peters will make a lot of political capital out of it.

I agree with Heather on this. There are too many uncertainties in the current Bill and it is already regarded by the greedy as a first step towards extending rights and extending the areas it applies to. I prefer Crown ownership. No one before 2003 ever thought anyone except the Crown owned these areas. And no one alive today has lost any rights they once had. Whatever their great great great grandparents lost in the 19th century they (the great great great grandparents) gained in getting rights to the same areas nation-wide.
