Our third Horizons of Insight seminar for 2015 was held on Wednesday, May 27th and the online video has now been loaded onto our MediaCentre.

In his seminar, Andrew Erueti from the University of Auckland talked about his research project, Māori Engagement in NZ’s Extractive Industry: Innovative Legal Solutions.

He talked about the high profile demonstrations that have been held against mining by environmental and iwi/hāpu groups, but also provided a background to the iwi who have been trying to work with industry, particularly in Taranaki.

The Innovative Legal Solutions project will explore how recent developments in international law (particularly human rights law) provide insights into addressing the issues raised by extractive industry for iwi and hapū.
