Harawira wants to outlaw foreign ownership

Maori party maverick MP Hone Harawira wants to ban the sale of land to foreigners.

Mr Harawira said today he was seriously considering writing a bill to outlaw the sale of New Zealand land to overseas interests.

“The Maori land march to Wellington 35 years ago had as its slogan, ‘not one acre more’ because Maori were scared about how much Maori land was being gobbled up by the Crown,” he said.
