VFaka Umanga (Maori
Corporations) Bill
Government Bill
As reported from the Maori Affairs
Committee
Commentary
Recommendation
The Maori Affairs Committee has examined the Waka Umanga
(Maori Corporations) Bill and recommends that it be passed by
majority with the amendments shown.
Introduction
The Waka Umanga (Maori Corporations) Bill provides for the estab-
lishment of new legal entities by tribal groups or Maori associations,
which may be structured to meet the organisational needs of tribal
groups and other Maori associations that manage communal assets.
The bill recognises the right of Maori collectives to develop their
own structures to suit their cultural and governance needs, to determine their own mandate and representation, and to do so through an
independent process.
The bill arises from the current lack of cohesion between the form
and function of existing legal frameworks and the unique characteristics that shape Maori collectives. These include the management

Commentary
of collective assets, and regulations surrounding tribal membership.
Maori have adapted to using forms of statutory governance such as
companies and trusts, but none are ideal for meeting their overarching needs. Maori collectives are increasingly pursuing multiple and
diverse objectives, and structures are needed that can incorporate and
appropriately manage both the commercial and non-commercial activities of Maori organisations.
The majority of us recommend a number of changes to the bill as
introduced. This commentary addresses the major issues considered
and the recommended amendments. It does not discuss minor and
technical amendments.
We were advised by officials that the waka umanga, as presented in
the bill, is intended to be an option for iwi and pan-Maori groups to
consider as only one option from a number of alternatives.
Preamble
The majority of us recommend the deletion of subclause 2 in the preamble and the insertion of new subclause 2, to better recognise the
importance of the Treaty of Waitangi, and its effect on the develop-
ment of the waka umanga model more fully.
The provisions of the final Act, and more specifically, the duties a
governor of a waka umanga owes to the Maori collective, will be
open to interpretation by the courts. Interpretation tools available
will include the bill's purpose, and accompanying explanatory ma-
terial, including the preamble. There is room to interpret the duties
of governors widely, implying a specific duty to future generations
and restricting the actions of governors in relation to the benefit of
current members.
The majority of us consider that the imposition of such a duty for each
waka umanga should be determined by its members, rather than by
inadvertent parliamentary direction to the courts, and this could be
achieved by removing reference to "the benefit of present and future
generations," from the Preamble.
Additionally, some words used in the bill are unfamiliar and are not
commonly applied. The majority of us consider that a number of
terms, including "waka pfi," and "waka tumaha," used as a distinc-
tion between whakapapa and non-whakapapa-based umanga will no

longer be required, and that the term "rananganui," can be replaced
with the more familiar term, "board."
Purposes of the bill
The majority of us recommend that the purposes of the bill contained
in clause 3 be limited to allow a more easily adoptable governance
entity to be used by Maori collectives. This would remove the need
to establish representative institutions, which have the potential to
disrupt existing iwi and hapu structures. While addressing the limitations Maori face in using existing legal structures, this amendment
will allow Maori collectives to determine structures suited to their
circumstances.
Consequential amendments to the bill would be required to remove
the legitimate representative provisions contained in the bill as introduced.
Interpretation
The majority of us recommend deleting the terms "waka pa" and
"waka tumaha" from clause 4 of the bill as introduced, and that all
references in the bill to "waka po" and "waka tumaha" be replaced
with "waka umanga". This amendment is consistent with our recommendation to remove the need to establish representative institu-
tions, which requires the formation and registration of a waka pa.
It also reflects that the bill should not exclude any Maori collective,
whether whakapapa- or non-whakapapa-based, from being eligible
to become a waka umanga. The majority of us consider that the key
requirements should be that the Maori collective be characterised by
descent from one or more t[puna; or people who are predominantly
Maori, and support Maori culture and tikanga; and the waka umanga
have as one ofits purposes the provision ofbenefits or services to the
members.
Formation and registration of waka umanga
In line with the above amendment replacing waka pfi and waka
tumaha with waka umanga, the majority of us recommend the
deletion of clauses 7 to 14 which set out the form and registration
of waka pfi and waka tumaha. The majority of us recommend
4
Commentary
the insertion of new clause 14 which sets out the formation and
registration of waka umanga.
Requirements for formation and registration of waka
umanga
The majority of us recommend amendment to clause 15 because the
process for obtaining legitimate representative status has been re-
moved and so there is little rationale for retaining the prescription
for forming a waka umanga beyond what existing legal entities are
required to adhere to.
The majority of us recommend amendment to clauses 16 and 20. The
majority of us consider that the level of prescription required in the
process to form a waka umanga should be more analogous to the
process required for existing legal forms, with the addition of a waka
umanga being required to notify its registration and provide a process
for members to comment on the charter. On that basis, requirements
for registration would be pared back to core governor consents and
declarations confirming adherence to the requirements of the Act.
This would effectively reduce prescription and compliance costs.
The majority of us recommend the deletion of clauses 17 and 18
since, as discussed previously, the process for waka pa to obtain legitimate representative status is no longer requisite.
Requirements for a charter
The majority of us recommend amendment to clause 19 which summarises the contents of a charter. A charter should remain a require-
ment for a waka umanga because it would provide flexibility for users
of the bill, and it may be tailored to suit the needs of a waka umangasubject to minimum standards. This would lessen the need for significant prescription in the Act and means that waka umanga could
adopt a level of prescription appropriate to their size and asset base.
A charter would retain transparency and accountability in the operation of a waka umanga. A members' register is considered a critical
requirement for any waka umanga. Setting out who is eligible to be a
member, and the process for determining membership and maintaining an up-to-date list of members is important when members cannot opt out of membership. Also, an up-to-date members' register
is a key requirement for the Crown when recognising the mandate

of an iwi/hapo to negotiate a historical Treaty claim. To become a
waka umanga, applicants would be required to complete a charter
which defines membership criteria and dispute resolution processes
relating to the assessment of eligibility to be a member at the time
of registration. The majority of us recommend allowing a period of
six months for a new waka umanga which is not transitioning from
an existing entity to establish the register and notify the Register of
Waka Umanga, in order to meet the requirements of the Act. A transitioning entity would already have a members' register.
The majority of us recommend amendment to clause 21 to provide for
notification of a new waka umanga upon registration. The majority
of us consider that the bill should provide that applicants must notify
members of the relevant Maori collective that they have provisionally
registered as a waka umanga (in accordance with the definition of
"public notice" as defined in the Interpretation).
The majority of us recommend amendment to clause 22 to provide
that in the case of a new waka umanga there be a provisional period
within which the waka umanga must establish a register of members
and hold a general meeting to adopt the charter. During this period,
governors' powers would be limited to taking actions or making decisions that facilitate the establishment of the waka umanga. This
would allow interim governors to undertake actions such as opening
bank accounts and developing key documents such as the register of
members, whilst simultaneously members could start to register and
consider the charter.
This process can be considered similar to that required for Recog-
nised Iwi Organisations, which are not given full powers under the
Maori Fisheries Act 2004, and are only able to undertake such ac-
tivities as allow them to facilitate the process towards full Mandated
Iwi Organisation status. In a commercial context, where the number
of directors or trustees fall below the quorum required under the constitutional documents, it is not unusual for their powers to act to be
curtailed until fresh election or appointments bring numbers back up
to the quorum.
The majority of us recommend the deletion of clauses 23 and 24,
which provide for variation, and declarations or review, in relation to
the charter. This would be consistent with our recommendation for
clause 20 that the level ofprescription required in the process to form
6
Commentary
a waka umanga should be more analogous to the process required for
existing legal forms.
Application for registration
Clause 28 of the bill as introduced sets out the requirements for application for registration as a waka umanga. The majority of us recommend amending the clause to include a requirement for a statutory
declaration by an interim governor certifying that the charter of the
waka umanga complies with the requirements of the bill, and that the
entity is entitled to be registered as a waka umanga.
The majority of us recommend deleting clause 28(4) to clarify that
existing entities applying for registration as a waka umanga should
be allowed to do so, provided that they complied with the transitional
provisions set out under Part 5 of the bill as introduced. They would
therefore be exempt from the compliance requirements placed upon
provisional waka umanga.
Notification of application
The majority of us recommend clause 30 be deleted and replaced with
new clause 21. Clause 30 provides for notification for the purposes of
objection. There is no longer provision for objection to registration
prior to registration. Members would determine appropriateness of
entity at the first annual general meeting and approve the charter by
special resolution.
New clause 21 sets out a number of minimum requirements that the
notice must contain, including information on where the provisional
charter can be obtained, that the waka umanga is requesting membership, and how applications for membership can be made.
Objections to application
The majority of us recommend deleting clause 31 of the bill as introduced. By removing the legitimate representative provisions the majority ofus consider that the need to provide for third parties to object
to the registration of a waka umanga is removed. The majority of us
note that deleting the objection process is consistent with the formation of other legal entities, such as trusts or companies, which have
no corresponding objection process.
Commentary

Registration of waka umanga
The majority of us recommend amending clause 32 to reflect our
recommendation that the objection process be removed from the bill.
Powers of board and interim governors
The majority of us recommend the insertion of clause 33A to specify that during the provisional period between registration of a waka
umanga and the adoption ofthe charter at its first meeting, the powers
of the board should be limited. In particular the board and interim
governors should exercise such powers and incur no liabilities to the
extent that was necessary to comply with the bill and the provisions
of the charter.
The majority of us recommend the addition of clause 33B which
states that a registrar may de-register waka umanga if certain require-
ments are not met. A new waka umanga (which was not an existing
entity prior to registration) must in the 12 months following registra-
tion seek the approval of the waka umanga charter by the Maori collective. The status of the new waka umanga would therefore be provisionally registered until it met that condition. All activities of the
interim governors should be focused upon the identification of members (through a register) and the notification and holding of a general
meeting for the purpose of resolving the members' approval of the
charter. If a new waka umanga does not meet that condition within
12 months then the registrar should have the power to de-register a
provisional waka umanga.
The majority of us also recommend the insertion of clause 33C
which states that clauses 33A and 33B are not to apply to registration of existing entities. An existing entity seeking to become a
waka umanga must comply with Subpart 1 of Part 5 of the bill. In
complying with Part 5 they would have a register of members and
would seek approval from members of the application to register
as a waka umanga and of their charter. The existing entities would
therefore comply with the conditions required to move from provisional to full waka umanga status prior to registration, so sections
33A and 33B would therefore not apply.

Commentary
Election and appointment of governors
The majority ofus recommend amendments to clause 39. The majority of us consider that the provisions for elections and appointments
of governors in the body of the bill and in Schedule 2 could be consolidated into Part 3 of the bill, for ease of reference. It is considered
that much of the prescription regarding elections and appointments
could be left to the discretion of the waka umanga to detail in the
charter, subject to a number of minimum requirements. For example,
basic rules should be provided around how elections must be con-
ducted, the minimum number of governors required, and the notice
to be given of elections.
The majority of us also recommend the insertion ofnew clause 40(A)
to provide that the bill must state that a person who has been ap-
pointed or elected as a governor may not be the chief executive of
the waka umanga at the same time, and vice versa.
Duties of governors
The majority ofus propose amendment to clause 41 because the ma-
jority of us consider that it is undesirable to create duties for governors that are overly onerous to comply with and that may cause confusion between companies and trust law if adjudicated in court. The
governors' duties should be more clearly aligned with the Companies
Act 1993, which would also provide certainty when the statute was
interpreted by the courts. The new clause would provide a subjective
standard for governors' duties and specify that they are owed to the
waka umanga. Reference would be removed to "present and future
members," to avoid undue focus on future generations at the expense
of current members. The requirement for a governor to avoid acting
in a way that would unfairly prejudice or discriminate against constituent groups would be removed, as this could be incorporated into
a waka umanga's charter if desired, and the intent could be implemented through a proposed new provision. Waka umanga charters
could also set out or expand any other duties owed by governors. It
is possible that the courts would eventually develop fiduciary duties
to apply to the governors of waka umanga similar to those which apply to director/company and trustee/beneficiary relationships. The
duties set out under the waka umanga statute would also be likely to
affect the development of any new fiduciary relationship and duties.
Commentary
9
The majority of us recommend the deletion of clause 46(2) in line
with the proposal to remove legitimate representative status from the
bill, and the ability of third parties to object to the registration of a
waka umanga. There would no longer be a need to noti fy third parties
of an amendment to the charter in relation to legitimate representative
status.
The majority ofus propose amendment to clause 47 because the ma-
jority of us consider that the requirements for entering into a major
transaction are too onerous, particularly for waka umanga with large
and disparate memberships. The amendment would provide that
approval of a major transaction requires a special resolution of the
members of the waka umanga, which is analogous to the requirement in the Companies Act under which shareholders approve major
transactions.
The majority of us recommend the insertion of clause 48(lA) to provide that a waka umanga has the ability to enter into a lease, licence,
or profit d prendre over an asset that is classified as protected, so long
as ownership of the asset is not placed at risk.
The majority of us recommend the insertion of clause 48(5) to state
that a charge under the bill includes a security interest under the Personal Property Securities Act 1999 (PPSA). The status of an asset
as "protected," should take priority over the PPSA to the extent that
when an asset is placed in the protected assets register legally (that
is if there is a pre-existing secured charge on the asset, it must either
be discharged or the interested party must consent to the asset being
registered as protected) then it would be protected against creditors
under the PPSA. Seeking approval of an asset as "protected," will
not be considered a "risk" under section 109(2) of the PPSA, as a
"risk" under that section could have allowed a creditor to sell the
asset upon notice. Registration of an asset on the protected assets
register is constructive notice or knowledge of that asset's status as
inalienable under the Act, to any person. The Act does not limit the
PPSA as it applies to security interests registered under the Act over
any unprotected assets of the existing entity or waka umanga.
Land under the Land Transfer Act 1952
The majority of us recommend the insertion of new clause 51 which
outlines the procedure under the Land Transfer Act 1952 for land,
10
Commentary
which becomes or ceases to be a protected asset. Once a piece of
land has been approved as a protected asset under the bill, that protected status must be notified and detailed on the land's certificate of
title. This would ensure that all third parties had real and constructive
notice of the land's status as a protected asset under the bill. Clause
51 provides the mechanism and power to require the Register- Gencral of Land to note the status on the certificate of titles and to cancel
that notice if the land ceased to be a protected asset.
Management of waka umanga
The majority of us recommend the deletion of clause 51, because he
majority of us consider that the requirement for a waka umanga to
have a chief executive should be optional. This would recognise the
potential range in size and assets of collectives that may use the bill.
The majority of us also recommend an amendment to clause 52 and
the insertion of new clause 52(A) because the majority of us consider that a waka umanga should have the flexibility to determine
their own policies regarding powers of delegation, contracting, and
employment as there is likely to be quite a significant variation in
their size and operations. The new clause would require the bill to
state that the charter must set out all policies in respect of management of a waka umanga.
Accountability of waka umanga
The majority of us recommend amendment to clause 53 to remove
the requirement for members' rights of access to information to the
minutes of the board. The majority of us consider that the remaining
members' rights of access to information should remain in the bill
as this is a low-cost way of ensuring transparency and accountability
to members. Comparable models (such as trusts) do not make provision for board minutes but he majority of us consider it important
to encourage open discussion when board members are making decisions. The majority of us suggest that a waka umanga should detail
in its charter where and how information could be inspected. This
means that waka umanga of different sizes and geographical spread
can adapt their practices as members see fit.
Commentary
11
Meetings of waka umanga
The majority of us recommend the insertion of clause 54(lA) and
the deletion of clause 54(2) to simplify the prescribed requirements
for meetings of waka umanga. The majority of us consider that waka
umanga should have maximum flexibility in the level ofplanning and
reporting they undertake, and that it is preferable to make only a minimum number of documents compulsory-the annual plan, the an-
nual report and annual financial statements. Long-term plans should
be required unless opted out of in the charter.
The majority of us recommend amendment to clause 56 to provide
that procedures for meetings must comply with the charter and the
requirements of the Act.
The majority of us recommend the deletion of clause 57(A), which
outlines what a charter must contain, because specifications for board
governance are provided for in clause 37 and general meeting provisions are included in clause 56.
The majority of us also recommend amending clause 58 in order to
provide the recommendations for the governance documents speci-
fied in clause 54. New clause 58(A) sets out the requirements that
these documents must provide.
Liquidation
The majority of us recommend the insertion of new clause 64(A) to
provide that a waka umanga may be put into liquidation by the board
appointing a liquidator upon the occurrence of an event specified in
the charter.
Subsidiaries
The majority of us recommend amendment to clause 72 which sets
out the requirements relating to new subsidiaries and states that a
waka umanga may establish subsidiaries and in the case of transitioning entities retain subsidiaries, such as companies or trusts, that are
consistent with the long-term plan of the waka umanga. The majority
of us consider that a waka umanga that is utilised for all possible pur-
poses, although a body corporate, may be at risk of losing its whole
tribal infrastructure if it becomes insolvent. Waka umanga should be
able to utilise subsidiary companies to undertake trading activities
in order to separate governance and the operations of the govern-
12
Commentary
ance entity. It would be more efficient to remove the requirement
for the board to obtain members' approval of a subsidiary policy as
required by clause 72, and instead enable waka umanga to establish
subsidiaries to meet the objectives of the waka umanga. Subsidiaries
should have to provide information to the waka umanga at annual
general meetings, and should have to enter into statements of intent
to ensure they actively align with the objectives of the waka umanga.
Meaning of internal dispute"
The majority of us recommend narrowing the definition of"internal
dispute" to issues regarding the right of an individual (or several indi-
viduals within a whanau or hai,fi) to be a member o f a waka umanga.
Clause 73 of the bill as introduced includes issues relating to membership of the waka umanga, the rights and obligations of members,
the decisions of governors or the board, or requests for information.
To include decisions of governors or the board within the definition
of"internal disputes" is considered too restrictive on the day-to-day
decisions of the waka umanga.
The majority of us recommend that clause 73 should be further
amended to allow the waka umanga to set out additional matters
within its charter for which the internal dispute resolution process
rnay be used.
Optional processes for settling internal disputes
Schedule 5 of the bill as introduced provides for mediation and arbitration processes to be available to the waka umanga among the
dispute resolution processes that can be adopted. The majority of
us recommend deleting the prescriptive provisions relating to mediation and arbitration from schedule 5 of the bill as introduced. The
majority of us consider that the waka umanga secretariat would be in
the best position to provide comprehensive advice regarding the use
and application of mediation or arbitration processes (as opposed to
including it in legislation).
Decision binding on parties
The majority ofus recommend replacing clause 75 of the bill as introduced to provide that the adjudicators' decision, following the dis-
Commentary
13
pute resolution processes defined by the charter, will be binding on
the parties to the membership dispute.
Provision of information about membership disputes
The majority of us recommend amendment to clause 74 to require
the waka umanga to provide that the adjudicator of an internal membership dispute should be provided with all the relevant information,
to allow the adjudicator to consider the merits of and determine an
internal dispute. The majority of us recommend the insertion ofnew
clause 74A to provide that the person who is to determine the dispute relating to the membership of a person must be provided with
all relevant of in formation in the possession of the waka umanga.
Application to the High Court
The majority of us recommend the addition of clause 75(A) to pro-
vide that a member or former member of a waka umanga may apply to the High Court where that member considers the actions of
the waka umanga are, have been or are likely to be oppressive, unfairly discriminatory, or unfairly prejudicial to that member. This
right of recourse to the High Court is similar to the right prejudiced
shareholders have under section 174 of the Companies Act 1993. As
clause 75(A) is Companies Act-based, the majority of us recommend
that the High Court hear applications under clause 75(A) in the first
instance. If the High Court considers it is just and equitable to do so,
it could make any such order it considers fit.
The majority ofus recommend amendment to clause 75B because the
majority of us consider that the High Court should hold the primary
jurisdiction to hear applications relating to waka umanga under this
clause in addition to applications under clause 75(A). The majority of
us note that the High Court would not have jurisdiction to adjudicate
causes of actions which are covered by the Maori Fisheries Act 2004
or the Commercial Aquaculture Claims Settlement Act 2004.
Subj ect to our recommendation that the legitimate representative status provisions be removed, the majority ofus consider that disputes
relating to mandate and representation should no longer arise under
the bill. The majority of us consider, then that the rationale for the
Maori Land Court having primary oversight of waka umanga no
longer exists. The majority of us consider that the disputes most
14
Commentary
likely to arise under the revised bill will relate to the commercial decisions ofwaka umanga-matters that draw on company law and more
generally trust law and equity, which are the traditional province of
the High Court. It is appropriate that the High Court have a primary
role in adjudicating these matters. These disputes may still involve
the interpretation, practice, and application of tikanga however, and
so it would remain appropriate that the High Court could refer to the
expertise of the Maori Land Court to determine or advise on such
matters.
Applications to the Maori Land Court
The majority of us recommend the deletion of clauses 76 to 86 which
provide for the jurisdiction of the Maori Land Court in certain cases
of dispute resolution and outline provisions for applications to this
Court.
The majority of us consider that the ability of third parties to object
to the registration of a waka umanga may induce dissent and division
and undermine existing iwi and hapa structures. Iwi and hapo should
have the right to establish their own representative structures without
the interference of third parties (particularly the Crown).
If legitimate representative status is removed from the bill, there
would no longer be a need to provide for applications to be made
to the court for declarations, for review, or in objection to a waka
umanga. Therefore, jurisdiction of the court should be restricted to
reviewing the process that was carried out to adjudicate an internal
dispute, and complaints made by a member of a waka umanga that
they he or she had been seriously prejudiced by a decision of the waka
umanga.
The majority of us also recommend amending to clause 87, to specify that granting injunctive relief is under the jurisdiction of the
High Court, as this traditionally falls into this court's domain. Accordingly, the majority of us recommend the deletion ofclause 87(6)
to remove the provision that the Chief Registrar of the Maori Land
Court must notify the Registrar ofany orders made under this section,
since the Maori Land Court would no longer carry out this role. The
majority ofus also recommend the deletion of clause 88 and amendment to clause 128, to remove specific re ference to the Maori Land
Commentary
15
Court in the light of the recommendation that the High Court should
hold primary jurisdiction over waka umanga.
Registration of existing entities as waka umanga
The majority of us recommend the deletion of clauses 95 to 113,
which provide for the transition of Maori Trust Boards, charitable
trusts, trusts, and incorporated societies to waka umanga. The majority of us consider that there is little incentive for existing entities
to become waka umanga. The current transition provisions are complex and may provide a disincentive for existing entities to become
a waka umanga.
The majority ofus recommend the insertion ofnew clauses 95 to 103
because the majority of us consider that the transition process should
be straightforward to encourage transition, and that a wider range of
groups should be able to use the model if they wish to. The majority
of us propose that approval for transition for existing entities be ob-
tained through the process that is already contained in their charters,
such as the requirement for a company to attain a seventy-five per
cent resolution of shareholders. Where there is no such process, it
is proposed that a special resolution of members, beneficiaries, and
shareholders be required to approve the transition, special resolution
should be defined as requiring seventy-five per cent approval.
Under new clause 95 the transition provisions would be extended to
provide for companies, and continue to provide for trusts, incorporated societies, Maori Trust Boards, and charitable trusts.
Under new clause 98, trusts constituted under Te Ture Whenua Maori
Act 1993 would be excluded from the transition provisions. The ma-
jority of us are of the view that they are generally set up for the specific purpose of holding Maori land, and their purposes are more appropriately governed under Te Ture Whenua Maori Act 1993.
Under new clause 99, the bill would provide for the transition of a
charitable trust to waka umanga status. The clause provides that the
Attorney-General would act as an independent assessor of transition.
The clause also sets out that trustees have a duty to administer assets
on behalfof a specific membership and that the Attorney-General has
a significant supervisory role over charitable trusts. The majority of
us consider that for some charitable trusts there could be significant
benefits associated with moving to the waka umanga model, such
16
Commentary
as an increased level of accountability and the administrative benefits that the model provides. The clause also states the requirement
for a level of assessment to establish under the Charitable Trusts Act
1957 that a charitable trust will be able to maintain its charitable purposes, and that the purposes are not narrowed inadvertently because
a waka umanga is required to define who is entitled to be a member.
There is also specification in the clause that the Attorney-General
may approve transition, as opposed to the High Court, which could
be a costlier process for smaller trusts. Under the clause, a charitable
trust's purposes must be narrow enough to be able to identify a membership class. The clause also states that upon transition, a charitable
trust is no longer governed by the Charitable Trusts Act 1957.
By removing legitimate representative status from the bill, the transition provisions could be significantly simplified. The majority of us
therefore recommend the insertion of new clauses 100 to 103 which
outline the transition provisions for different types of entities. The
majority ofus propose that mandated iwi organisations should be able
to transition to waka umanga if they wish to do so. If the transition
provisions were simplified as proposed, then a Maori Trust Board
would be able to follow the same transition provisions as any other
organisation. The additional requirements for a Maori Trust Board
arise from the role of the Minister of Maori Affairs under the Maori
Trust Boards Act 1955. These would include the approval ofthe Min-
ister of Maori Affairs, and the requirement for the Governor-Gencral to make an Order in Council. The majority of us note that a
number of Maori Trust Boards have their own enabling legislation
or unique provisions within the Maori Trust Boards Act 1955 which
give them specific powers, duties, obligations, and restrictions, such
as the power to negotiate Treaty of Waitangi claims with the Crown.
Some of these provisions could be retained or continued after transition. The majority of us consider that the Governor-General should,
by Order in Council, and upon the recommendation of the Minister
of Maori Affairs, retain certain provisions of the relevant Maori Trust
Boards legislation.
Amendments to other Acts
The majority ofus propose amendment to clause 132 of the bill which
distinguishes between waka pa and waka tumaha. The term "waka
pa" would be replaced with reference to clause 14 that defines the
Commentary
17
criteria for a group that "descends from tapuna" to become a waka
umanga.
Schedule 1
Subject to our recommendation that the provisions for a waka pu to
obtain legitimate representative status would no longer be required,
the majority of us suggest that Schedule 1, which summarises tribal
groups with mandate recognised before the commencement of the
Act, be removed from the bill.
Schedule 2
The majority of us recommend that Schedule 2 be removed from the
bill. The Schedule sets out the requirements for a charter for a waka
umanga. The majority of us consider that the bill in its current form
is long-winded, and the governance and management specifications
in it may appear onerous. The charter remains the key governance
document, so the majority ofus recommend that most of the requirements of the charter be retained and moved into the body of the bill.
Schedule 3
The majority of us recommend the deletion of clause 1 of the Schedule which outlines requirements for general disqualification from eligibility of a governor. This would be in line with our recommendation for clause 39 of the bill that much of the prescription regarding
elections and appointments can be left to the discretion of the waka
umanga to detail in the charter, subject to a number ofminimum requirements.
The majority of us recommend the deletion of clause 2 of the Schedule which outlines the waiver of general disqualification in order to
reduce the prescription in the bill and to align it more closely with
other models.
The majority of us recommend an amendment to clause 7 of the
Schedule which outlines how a waka umanga may indemnify or effeet insurance cover, to state that this must be in relation to the extent
authorised by the waka umanga's charter. This would require a waka
umanga to place a minimum standard for insurance and indemnity

Cominentary
proceedings in the charter, but allow discretion in the detail of that
requirement.
The majority of us recommend the deletion of clauses 11,12, and 13
of the Schedule, which outline procedures for meetings of a board,
in line with our recommendations for clause 56 of the bill, to provide
that procedures for meetings must comply with the charter and the
requirements of the Act.
The majority of us recommend the deletion of clause 20 of the
Schedule, which describes inspection of information that can be
made available to a waka umanga, in line with our recommendation
for clause 53 of the bill that would remove the requirement for
members' right of access to minutes of the board.
The majority of us recommend thatclause 21 of the Schedule, which
outlines requests for information, be moved to clause 53(3) of the
bill. This is for the reasons of consolidation given for Schedule 2.
The majority of us recommend the deletion of clause 22 in Schedule 3 of the bill which states the limits to availability of information;
because the majority of us consider that the bill should state that the
charter may set out any limits regarding the availability of information.
The majority of us recommend the deletion of clauses 23 and 24 of
the Schedule, which discuss the appointment and status of committees, in order to reduce the prescription in the bill and to align it more
closely with other models.
The majority ofus recommend the deletion of clause 25 ofthe Schedule, which outlines the role of a chief executive in line with our rec-
ommendation for clause 51 ofthe bill that the requirement for a waka
umanga to have a chief executive should be optional.
The majority of us recommend the deletion of clauses 26 and 27
of the Schedule which outline contracting and employment policies
in line with our recommendations for clause 51 of the bill and also
clause 52, requiring that a waka umanga should have the flexibility
to determine their own policies regarding powers of delegation, contracting and employment, as there is likely to be quite a significant
variation in their size and in the nature of their operations.
The majority of us recommend the deletion of clause 28 of the
Schedule, which details the communication and consultation policy,

in order to reduce the prescription in the bill and to align it more
closely with other models.
The majority ofus recommend the deletion ofclause 29 ofthe Schedule which sets out a privacy policy, in line with our recommendation
for clause 16 of the bill that the level of prescription required in the
process to form a waka umanga should be more analogous to the
process required for existing legal forms.
The majority of us recommend the deletion of clause 30 in the
Schedule which provides notice requirements for meetings of waka
umanga. This is in line with our recommendation for clause 56 of
the bill to provide that procedures for meetings must comply with
the charter and the requirements of the Act.
The majority ofus recommend the deletion of clauses 31, 32, and 33
in the Schedule, which outline key governance documents for a waka
umanga, in line with our recommendation for clause 58 of the bill
which sets out the requirements that these documents must provide.
The majority of us recommend moving clause 34 of the Schedule,
which states that a board must provide to the Registrar an annual
return, to clause 126 of the bill. The majority of us also recommend
that the clause state that an annual return must be provided to the
Registrar no later than six months after the annual balance date.
The majority ofus recommend the deletion ofclause 36 ofthe Schedule which states the contents of distribution policy in line with our
recommendation for clause 58 of the bill, which sets out the requirements for key governance documents of a waka umanga.
Schedule 4
Schedule 4 of the bill as introduced sets out provisions relating to the
operation of subsidiaries including the appointment of directors, the
duties of directors, the performance-monitoring requirements, and
the requirements and purpose of the subsidiaries' statements of in-
tent. The majority of us recommend deleting Schedule 4, as it is not
necessary to set out in significant detail the operation of subsidiaries
as they will largely be governed by their own Acts. Furthermore,
while a statement of intent can provide useful planning information,
some information contained in the subsidiary's statement of intent
might include details regarding the operations of the subsidiary that
the waka umanga did not wish to bc made public. The majority of
20
Commentary
us note that clause 72 of the bill as introduced sets out some require-
ments relating to new subsidiaries established by a waka umanga.
Schedule 5
The majority of us recommend amendments to Schedule 5 of the bill
as introduced which outlines optional processes for the resolution of
internal disputes to state that "kairongomau" may have access to the
minutes ofthe board in considering an internal dispute. The majority
of us consider that the concept of including an internal dispute reso-
lution process in the charter of a waka umanga is a key policy principle underlying the development of the bill, and that waka umanga
should be provided with as much assistance regarding this process as
possible.
The majority of us recommend the deletion of Parts 2 and 3 of the
bill, which outline processes for mediation and arbitration. These
options are already available to the waka umanga under clause 10 of
the bill, which states that a mediator can be appointed by the parties
to the dispute or by the person designated to do so in the charter. If
the parties consent, an internal dispute may be referred to arbitration
under the Arbitration Act 1996, as specified in clause 17 of the bill.
The rights ofthe parties are limited to those under the Arbitration Act
1996, as specified in clause 18 of the bill.
Schedule 6
The majority of us recommend the deletion of Schedule 6 of the
bill which outlines requirements for applications to the Maori Land
Court. In line with our recommendation that the Maori Land Court
share concurrent jurisdiction with the High Court, the majority of us
consider that the jurisdiction of the Maori Land Court should be removed from the bill.
National Party view
The National Party believes that this bill should not proceed.
Commentary
21
Maori Party view
At the first reading of this bill, the Maori Party raised a number of
substantive questions about the value of this bill to hapa and iwi and
the effects it may have.
Questions were raised about the inadequate legal structures imposed
on hapa and iwi during settlements and we asked if the model proposed by the bill would be sufficient to address those inadequacies. In
particular, we made the point that the proposed waka umanga legal
entity derails the possibility of haI)u and iwi developing models of
governance consistent with and expressive of tikanga Maori and tino
rangatiratanga, and having those models duly recognised. We suggested that a more productive solution to current inadequacies could
be found in Crown recognition of Maori governance entities, as formulated by hapo and iwi.
The Maori Party was very interested to hear the views of submitters, and voted for the bill at its first reading to ensure that the views
of hapft and iwi could be heard by the Maori Affairs Committee of
Parliament. We note that our concerns about rangatiratanga and due
recognition were also very much top of mind for hapa and iwi.
Given the substantive concerns and opposition voiced by hapa and
iwi on the Waka Umanga (Maori Corporations) Bill, the Maori Party
cannot support it.
More work is needed to resolve the inadequacies of current legal
structures. For any such programme to be fruitful, it will need to
proceed from a kaupapa-Maori basis, and also address wider concerns with Treaty settlements policy.
