The Green Party of Aotearoa New Zealand has condemned the Government’s handling of the proposed Kermadec/Rangitāhua Ocean Sanctuary.

“因为它更感兴趣的是一个宣传噱头比正确的结果，国家已经实现了不可能的 - 分歧有关，几乎每个人都希望的庇护所，”绿色辅助领导梅特丽娅·特说。

“The Green Party has campaigned for the Kermadec/Rangitāhua Sanctuary for a long time and remains committed to it.

“Everyone wants healthy oceans and abundant fish for current and future generations. Protecting parts of our oceans from fishing and mining helps ensure plenty of fish and healthy oceans, and the Kermadec/Rangitāhua Sanctuary is an important part of that.

“然而，我们都知道，除非你承认并尊重人民的权利，你在这样的混乱中结束。违反条约，无论是通过不良工艺或删除的权利，没有对环境安全的持久保护。它只是意味着你在什么每个人都希望法院和延迟结束。

“很显然，实现对环境的持久保护，我们需要尊重条约关系。国家知道这一点，但没有做到需要什么 - 一切都那么约翰·基能在国际舞台上炫耀。

“The Green Party is proud of our principled history of standing up for Treaty rights, including on the Foreshore and Seabed legislation. We are absolutely committed to that.

“It is entirely possible to achieve environmental protection and uphold Treaty rights, and there are plenty of good examples where this has been achieved.

“In Government, the Green Party would introduce a new marine protection law for the EEZ which recognises the Treaty, ensures there is serious consultation in establishing new marine protected areas, and introduces more effective mechanisms for iwi management of new areas,” said Mrs Turei.
