    SUBJECT: New Zealand: PM Key and Diplomatic Corps hear grievances at
    Waitangi Day celebration

    CLASSIFIED BY: Robert J Clarke, Charge' d Affaires, State,
    Wellington; REASON: 1.4(B), (D)

    ¶1. ( SBU) Summary:  On February 5--the day before New Zealand's
    official national "Waitangi Day"--the Ambassador and DCM joined a
    large Diplomatic Corps contingent in Waitangi for a program
    commemorating the 170th Anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of
    Waitengi in 1840.  The Diplomatic Corps' participation in
    celebrations at the Waitangi site ended a 15-year absence which
    began in 1995, when Maori protesters had underscored their
    displeasure with the government by baring their buttocks at the
    international guests.  This year's carefully managed program for
    diplomats offered nothing so dramatic, but the political nature and
    underlying tensions of the celebrations came through during the
    public exchanges between PM John Key and Maori leaders at the Te
    Tii Marae (tribal area).  End Summary.

    ¶2. (SBU) Security was tight at the Te Tii Marae with dozens of
    Maori wardens and members of the Waitangi war canoe team armed with

    paddles assigned to keep order.  They formed up before PM Key's
    arrival under the direction of a Maori activist who gave a running
    commentary, saying that the PM would be safe (after being
    manhandled at the 2009 celebration) "even though we don't all like
    him."  Key arrived surrounded by his own security and escorted by
    Titewhai Harawira, the respected activist and mother of the
    controversially outspoken Maori Party Member of Parliament (MP)
    Hone Harawira.  Key entered the marae through an entrance flanked
    by controversial red, white and black Maori flags, received a Maori
    welcome, and sat for a formal discussion with tribal leaders.

    ¶3. (SBU) Hone Harawira, who is not a member of the Waitangi iwi
    (tribe) and normally would not be participating, was given the
    microphone early in the exchanges.  Harawira began by lecturing Key
    for criticizing him based on newspaper stories (about his misuse of
    official travel funds).  He berated Key and National Party policy,
    saying that "a lot of our people are still starving and raising GST
    (sales tax) might be good for you and your mates but it is
    certainly not going to help the people on low incomes."  In a
    rambling presentation, he also said "you know what I am saying
    about Pakeha (caucasian) colonization is true."

    ¶4. (SBU) Dr. Pita Sharples, co-head of the Maori Party, which is in
    the governing coalition with the National Party, sat with PM Key.
    He was at pains in his remarks to reject Harawira's suggestion that
    being in the coalition was compromising Maori demands.  When his
    turn came, PM Key spoke confidently about progress on the Treaty
    settlements.  He acknowledged disproportionate Maori unemployment
    levels and pledged to address them.  He said that the root of
    unemployment among young Maori was a high school dropout rate.  His
    government, he said, was looking at alternate, better ways of
    delivering education but needed the cooperation of parents and
    tribal leaders.  Key, in a reference to on-going negotiations on
    the Foreshore and Seabed Act (which in 2004 stopped Maori from
    going to the courts to seek customary title to foreshore and seabed
    areas), said 2010 could be a "breakthrough year."  He added the
    cautionary note, however, that the negotiations had to have give
    and take on both sides and had a "bottom line of access rights for
    all New Zealanders."  Key mentioned outright repeal of the Act,
    which many Maori are calling for, only as one possible outcome of
    the negotiations.

    ¶5. (C) Comment:  PM Key's remarks on the Foreshore and Seabed Act
    at Waitangi have generated criticism among Maori because they
    seemed to walk back a position he took last November which seemed
    to promise repeal.  The smart betting is that he will eventually
    back repeal, which underlies Maori Party cooperation with the
    National Party, but only after he achieves the difficult task of an
    "elegant" solution which does protect access rights for all New
    Zealanders to the foreshore and seabed areas, rights which are
    potentially highly lucrative.  End Comment.
