Tim Dower: One year on from Ihumātao... what have we learned?

Early Edition with Ryan Bridge · Dec 16, 2021 · 3m

Had a nice chat with three of the police manning the roadblock at Uretiti this morning.

One was up from Nelson, another from Wellington and one was from Whangarei.

Standing in the rain in the middle of the night, but still cheery and positive, even though it's a job no-one really wanted.

It was nice to meet you guys, as I said to them, they're keeping the peace and that's part of the job.

If police hadn't gone along with this, we'd have had chaos and confrontation and no one needs that.

Coincidentally, it's the one-year anniversary of that shonky Ihumātao deal and you might see a connection…
