The Maori Council says the Government's decision to delay the first of its partial state asset sales shows it's acting in good faith.
The Maori Council says the Government's decision to delay the first of its partial state asset sales shows it's acting in good faith.
The Government has decided to hold off on selling up to 49% of shares in state-owned energy company Mighty River Power to allow more time to consult with Maori.
It says the sale plan will instead go ahead between March and June 2013.
A co-chairperson of the Maori Council, Rahui Katene, says it is happy with the Government's decision on Monday.
Ms Katene says given that the Government rejected the idea of a national hui with Maori, the least it can do is sit down and talk with the Maori Council and iwi leaders.
