    Pushback against proposed Government changes to marine and coastal area law

    Pushback against proposed Government changes to marine and coastal area law


    An amendment Bill to the Marine and Coastal Act is traversing the Parliamentary process - faced by significant Opposition backlash.

    The Government says it wants to restore the legislation's original intent.

    Labour MP Willie Jackson joined a demonstration outside Parliament today - as a petition against the Bill was delivered.

    He says Governments shouldn't interfere in tikanga, and accused the current one of attacking Maori rights.
