A proposal to give iwi first right of refusal on surplus council property sales in Horowhenua is being labelled unfair and divisive. The policy amendment —brought by a group of councillors— would effectively see iwi offered council property at market value before it's listed publicly. Horowhenua district councillor Sam Jennings told Mike Hosking he's against it and doesn't like that it's been kept behind closed doors until now. He doesn't like the idea of inserting privilege into council policy. The

Am I right to inquire just what it is that Tama Potaka has been doing for a year and a half?

In the NZR press release yesterday, Chairman David Kirk and CEO Mark Robinson did their best to infer that life financially for the sport is sensational. Despite the fact it isn't. They lost money, almost $20 million. And they lost money the year before that as well. Kirk ran the line that it was not a cash loss and that they had $170-ish million in reserves. They also spruiked the fact that they were pulling in record revenue. Now, I am a conservative when it comes to money. The fact they pulled in
