'Just bugger off!' - Iwi gutted over Taranaki oil, gas offer

From Morning Report, 8:50 am on 6 May 2019

Iwi in Taranaki are gutted that the government has put their ancestral lands up for oil and gas drilling. The latest block offer, announced this week, covers 2,200 square meters of land around Mt Taranaki. And iwi say new rules that force companies to talk to them could actually work against them. RNZ Maori News correspondent Leigh-Marama McLachlan reports.
