Will the maori king boycott today’s poukai at Hukanui Marae as punishment for those marae which supported Tania Martin at the recent Kauhanganui vote?
Did Tainui management hand over the results of the ‘secret’ voting ballot to Te Arataura and the maori king’s cronies? So is there a list of the 32 marae, and are there going to be recriminations from the highrarchy?
Update coming soon!
[Update: The maori king did not attend the Poukai at Hukanui. Ngati Haua people also boycotted the Poukai. Reports from eye witnesses who attended say that it was a great day out at Hukanui Marae on Saturday. The attempt to turn Hukanui into a pariah marae failed miserably. Kia ora!]
