  • Police evictions at Ihumātao are an attack on mana motuhake

    Marama Davidson July 23, 2019 12:37 PM
    The Green Party support the mana whenua of Ihumātao and their right to peacefully protect their land, Green Party co-leader Marama Davidson said today. “It is very sad that it has come to this, with police moving in to trespass people from their land.
