2) Can you please also advise the date of issue of the above named implementation plan document for Wellington's waterways.
3) Please explain how iwi would be 'adversely affected' if the information were to be made available? Please also explain how providing this information would 'publicly undermine your partnership commitments to mana whenua'.
4) What commitments do mana whenua make to GW in the spirit of co-governance?
5) How [do] iwi feel about Greater Wellington's use of poison on all the water bodies to try and eradicate noxious weeds, given that they state in the document (TMWOTKT) they don't agree with its use. Also the use of dynamite to clear a blockage of plant material south of the lagoon in Gollans Valley?
