This week negotiating the settlement for Aotearoa's largest iwi Ngāpuhi has seen yet another twist.
Earlier, NZ First MP Shane Jones said his party was drafting a member's bill to force Ngāpuhi into a single commercial settlement.
Last week, Treaty Negotiations Minister Paul Goldsmith said having one deal was the government's preference and that time spent on negotiating can't be open-ended.
Moana Tuwhare, the General Manager of Te Runanga o Ngāpuhi and former Treaty Negotiations Minister Chris Finlayson speaks to Mihi.
