      wanganui river kaumatua hikaia amohia died at his home in
      <&>7:00</&> taumarunui aged seventy five and was buried at the
      te peka <indig=Maori>urupa</indig=Maori> near the king country
      town

  <WSC#MSN062:0020:HT>
      his son kevin amohia says his father first became involved in
      the claim for the wanganui river in nineteen thirty eight and
      was still involved up to the time of his death

  <WSC#MSN062:0025:HT>
      he says river communities were more aware of treaty issues
      because of his father even though many people saw him as a
      radical

  <WSC#MSN062:0030:HT>
      mister amohia says his father maintained the treaty of waitangi
      gave settlers rights in new zealand too

      a report commissioned by the race relations office says the
      media generally accept that their handling and coverage of maori
      issues is inadequate

  <WSC#MSN062:0040:HT>
      a survey carried out in conjunction with the report has found
      the majority of news executives or senior journalists have
      little or no contact with maori people and acknowledge that
      their understanding of maori issues is limited

  <WSC#MSN062:0045:HT>
      the report says news executives agree that there must be a
      greater commitment to developing broader understandings of maori
      <&>8:00</&> issues and culture

  <WSC#MSN062:0050:HT>

      auckland ethnic council president philip kuri says a meeting of
      a hundred and twenty representatives unanimously condemned the
      opposition of some editors to a new race relations act provision
      outlawing the inciting of racial disharmony

  <WSC#MSN062:0060:HT>
      he says the old provision in the act section nine a was repealed
      in nineteen eighty eight after the race relations office found
      it couldn't intervene because of difficulties over whether
      offending statements were made in a public place

  <WSC#MSN062:0065:HT>
      mister kuri says the meeting was angry that some newspaper
      editors say they oppose the government proposal to strengthen
      the powers of the race relations conciliator to deal with such
      matters

  <WSC#MSN062:0070:HT>
      he says the meeting had specific newspapers in mind but none
      were identified in the unanimous resolution <,,>

      the decisions are contained in a written judgement issued at the
      high court in wellington by mister justice <?>mcgeekan</?>

  <WSC#MSN062:0090:HT>
      the case revolves around a claim from maori interests that the
      crown should not transfer the assets until a system protecting
      the maori language and culture including the provision of
      adequate broadcasting resources is in place

  <WSC#MSN062:0095:HT>
