[Hobsons Pledge](https://www.hobsonspledge.nz/?ref=goodoil.news):

In 2015, the Ihumatao iwi Te Kawerau a Maki agreed to a full and final settlement of all their grievances and received financial redress of $6.5 million, plus forestry, forestry rentals and more. Fletchers bought private land in the area and announced plans to build 480 homes, 40 of which were to be given to Te Kawerau a Maki. But a member of that iwi (against the will of the elders) started a land occupation demanding that the government buy the land to keep it as is.

**If the government caves into protesters and buys the land, this will open the floodgates to similar protests, trash Treaty settlements, and erode private property rights.**
