| 1477012 | 2021-05-06 23:52:00 | assuming local maori had every right to want it back (just to keep them happy) 1st un-needed waste of taxpayer money What is the estimated total staff cost for the attendees at said powhiri? Domestic travel, car rental and accommodation (8pax) - $4,327.77 2nd unneeded waste Helicopter to transport 350kg turtle to the burial site on Horomaka Island $1600 so why the need for govt employees to attend a turtles funeral ? Why is the govt (us) paying for the helicopter . If it was so important to local maori, they would have arranged for & paid for that All that had to be done was send it back to them, then let local maori deal with it . |

Agreed particularly because Ngai Tahu is a 1.5 billion enterprise. There was no need for any tax payer cash involvement at all regardles of what spiritual ceremony anyone believes is due to a long dead turtle. |

| 1477015 | 2021-05-07 04:00:00 | Perhaps it's the turtle holding up all the elephants and the Earth itself. Like this: en.wikipedia.org or this: www.pinterest.nz |

| 1477016 | 2021-05-07 14:06:00 | They saw fit to spend the money to bury this turtle, but as if they were spending their money....you know | AbigailRoss (17755) | ||
| 1477017 | 2021-05-07 19:26:00 | And why intern up on a hill. Why did they not just dig a hole on the beach and bury it there? Don't get me started on these academic fools! | Bryan (147) | ||

| 1477019 | 2021-05-08 06:50:00 | This, I noticed while reading through this ....... www.stuff.co.nz Te Rūnanga o Koukourārata chair Dr Matiu Payne said the honu is a taniwha, a guiding deity for his people, and is part of the legends passed down, although this traditional knowledge was purposely not widely shared. That explains it all! ;) |
