“He kawenga tino nui te kawenga ka whai a Kaiwhakawā Matua Fox i nāianei, i roto i
tōna tūranga hei Kaiwhakawā Matua o Te Kooti Whenua Māori. Ko Te Kooti Whenua
Māori tētahi o ngā kōti tawhito rawa atu i Aotearoa nei, ā, he pūmau hoki āna mahi
ki te āhuatanga o te hāpori Māori me te ōhanga Māori”.

In August 2020, the Government passed targeted
changes to Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993 to simplify
the legal processes for owning, occupying and using
Māori land.
