$18 million settlement for Moriori will help eliminate a myth – but another $18 million is intended to encourage creativity

Our Beehive Bulletin …
Each of two fresh announcements from the Beehive involves payments of $18 million.
One lot is being poured into a trough to offer grants up to $150,000 a year “for creative spaces to make arts more accessible”.
The other is the sum involved in the Moriori treaty settlement, although Moriori get not only the money but also a bag.
Myth-busting is likely to be a consequence of the deal, too, when the Moriori Claims Settlement Bill is enacted.
Treaty of Waitangi Negotiations Minister Andrew Little welcomed Moriori to Parliament to witness the first reading of the bill, which – he said – is “the culmination of years of dedication and hard work from all the parties involved”.
He candidly acknowledged the Moriori are being short-changed, saying:
