From Afternoons, 1:15 pm on 17 December 2020

The Government has agreed to buy the disputed land at Ihumātao from Fletcher Building for 30 million dollars.

The deal brings to an end a long standing occupation at the site, where Māori from across Auckland were protesting a housing development by the private company.

Political editor Jane Patterson joins Jesse to talk about the details of the settlement and its significance.
