Yesterday, the Police reported:
It's good to see that the police are willing to extend the olive branch and be proactive in repairing relations with Ngāi Tūhoe after the disaster that was anti-terror raids.
Hopefully the police have learnt their lesson and instead of going ballistic about a few unregistered guns, will simply let the local cops have a word with those they suspect of breaking the law.
It would certainly save a lot of tax payer dollars with some estimating the financial cost at $14 million. What a waste of money.
The Commissioner of Police, Peter Marshall, and Tuhoe spokesperson, Tamati Kruger, said a meeting in Rotorua this afternoon had been a good initial step towards the future for Police and Tuhoe tribe relations.
In a joint statement Mr Marshall and Mr Kruger said the meeting was essentially a private one solely focussed on having the Police and Tuhoe leaders in the same room to talk.
