Sarah Trotman: Former Waitemata Local Board Member as Ombudsman criticises Ministry for Culture and Heritage for lack of consultation on Ere

The Ministry for Culture and Heritage is pushing ahead with plans for the National Erebus Memorial to be at Parnell's Dove Myer-Robinson Park.

That's despite criticism from the Chief Ombudsman that the ministry should have consulted more widely, before forming its preference for a location.

Former Waitemata Local Board Member Sarah Trotman voted against the memorial.

She told Kate Hawkesby while it's a great result, the fight isn't over yet.

Trotman says the ministry has to realise its consultation has been defective and the site is tainted.
