      auckland wellington and christchurch for the use of broadcasters
      promoting <&>pronounced as permoting</&> maori language and
      culture

  <WSC#MSN156:0020:WH>
      communications minister maurice williamson says the provision of
      f m frequencies for maori use in these three centres has been
      investigated by the ministry of commerce since the waitangi
      tribunal recommended they be provided last year

  <WSC#MSN156:0025:WH>
      the frequency that has been reserved in christchurch is being
      used on a temporary basis by <indig=Maori>te reo <?>o tautahi

  <WSC#MSN156:0030:WH>

  <WSC#MSN156:0040:WH>
      moana pacific fisheries has agreed to buy the inshore fishing
      assets of skeggs which include fish quota vessels and processing
      factories

  <WSC#MSN156:0045:WH>
      moana was formed last september when a joint venture company
      including wilson neill and a consortium of maori investors
      bought the assets of <&>6:00</&> fletcher fishing's inshore
      operation for twenty million dollars

  <WSC#MSN156:0050:WH>
      moana is now a fully owned maori company with assets of more
      than fifty million dollars and staff of more than two hundred

  <WSC#MSN156:0055:WH>
      it's the largest processor harvester and marketer of seafood
      products from the new zealand inshore fishery

  <WSC#MSN156:0060:WH>
      the company has significant quota allocation of high value
      species such as lobster snapper and orange roughy

  <WSC#MSN156:0065:WH>
      and processing facilities in auckland pukekohe gisborne napier
      masterton wellington and blenheim

  <WSC#MSN156:0070:WH>
      as part of the buy out of skeggs thirty five skeggs staff will
      transfer to moana <,>

  <WSC#MSN156:0075:WH>
      <O>tut</O> meanwhile maori fisheries commission chairman tipene
      oregan has welcomed the deal saying it's a significant
      investment for maoridom

  <WSC#MSN156:0080:WH>
      he says the commission isn't concerned that aotearoa fisheries
      limited is only an interim company that is supposed to be phased
      out towards the end of next year when all fish quota acquired
      for maori under the maori fisheries act is to be handed over to

      not transcribed Tipene ORegan interview</&> <&>7:23</&>

  <WSC#MSN156:0085:WH>
      tipene oregan doesn't think it will be the <.>lou</.> the last
      acquisition either but says by then he expects it will be the
      various <indig=Maori>iwi</indig=Maori> negotiating deals by
      themselves <,>

  <WSC#MSN156:0090:WH>
      leaked papers from an accident <.>cor</.> compensation
      corporation reform committee shows wage earners may have to pay
      a special compo levy to cover the cost of nonwork accidents

  <WSC#MSN156:0095:WH>
      the papers show the levy would be the same as a zero point eight
      percent tax rise

  <WSC#MSN156:0100:WH>
      but the minister in charge of a c c bill birch says it's just
      one of the options being considered

  <WSC#MSN156:0105:WH>
      at the moment employers pay an average one <&>8:00</&> dollar
      sixty five a c c levy for every <.>w</.> hundred dollars they
      pay out in wages

  <WSC#MSN156:0110:WH>
      and about seventy cents of that one dollar sixty five goes
      towards <slowly>nonwork accidents</slowly>

  <WSC#MSN156:0115:WH>
      this new proposal would shift some of the burden onto wage
      earners

  <WSC#MSN156:0120:WH>
      but mister birch says the various proposals BEing considered
      will be issued in a paper after the july thirtieth budget <,>

  <WSC#MSN156:0125:WH>
      a secret report which advises the government about settling
      maori claims under the treaty of waitangi outlined problems the
      crown might have in knowing who represents an <indig=Maori>iwi</indig=Maori>
      or <indig=Maori>hapu</indig=Maori> in negotiations

  <WSC#MSN156:0130:WH>
      law lecturer jane kelsey from auckland university is critical
      that the paper was <.>pe</.> was prepared by a pakeha academic
      from the south island

  <WSC#MSN156:0135:WH>
      and says the government has aided the confusion over who
      represents an <indig=Maori>iwi</indig=Maori> <.>o</.> or
      <indig=Maori>hapu</indig=Maori> <&>8:45</&> <&>eighteen seconds
      not transcribed prerecorded comment from Jane Kelsey</&>
      <&>9:03</&>

  <WSC#MSN156:0140:WH>
      jane kelsey says it's definitely not the job of the government
      to decide who speaks for <indig=Maori>hapu</indig=Maori> or
      <indig=Maori>iwi</indig=Maori> <&>9:10</&> <&>fifteen seconds

      <O>tut</O> a department of health policy paper just released
      sets out how the problem of hearing loss for under fives should
      be tackled

  <WSC#MSN156:0150:WH>
      the paper spells out twelve goals and strategies

  <WSC#MSN156:0155:WH>
      several relate to screening and testing campaigns as well as
      follow up and treatment procedures and special education to <.>reduc</.>
      to reDUCE disabilities caused by deafness

  <WSC#MSN156:0160:WH>
      the section on maori children's hearing focuses on <&>10:00</&>
      preventing and treating glue ear through more and better
      community health programmes

  <WSC#MSN156:0165:WH>
      associate minister of health katherine oregan says the policy
      includes many recommendations from <indig=Maori><?>whakarongo
      mai</?></indig=Maori> the ninety eighty nine report on maori
      hearing impairment

  <WSC#MSN156:0170:WH>
      that report linked maori hearing loss with low income poor
      housing under employment and poor health and education <,>

  <WSC#MSN156:0175:WH>
      <indig=Maori>te ati awa</indig=Maori> will oppose wellington's
      proposed one hundred and ten million dollar motorway extension
      until its land claim before the waitangi tribunal is resolved

  <WSC#MSN156:0180:WH>
      in a report released on the motorway <indig=Maori>te ati awa</indig=Maori>
      says the project would have disastrous consequences for local
      maori

  <WSC#MSN156:0185:WH>
      the report says the motorway is of great significance to the
      waitangi claim because under the wellington tenths reserve
      agreement the land belongs to <indig=Maori>te ati awa</indig=Maori>

  <WSC#MSN156:0190:WH>
      it says if the waitangi tribunal return this land it would be a
      severe denigration of <indig=Maori>mana</indig=Maori> to find
      that a motorway had been built on it

  <WSC#MSN156:0195:WH>
      the further <.>re</.> the report further says <&>11:00</&>
      efficient planning of the motorway can only be done by involving
      <indig=Maori>te ati awa</indig=Maori> in the process

  <WSC#MSN156:0200:WH>
      <indig=Maori>te ati awa</indig=Maori> says the <.>ap</.>
      proposed extension encroaches on two sections of central city
      land designated as native reserve <,>

  <WSC#MSN156:0205:WH>
      an under resourced maori education system has been boosted with
      the revival of the <indig=Maori>wharekura</indig=Maori> and
      <indig=Maori><?>tai tau toko</?></indig=Maori> series of reading
      books

  <WSC#MSN156:0210:WH>
      the books were first published in the nineteen sixties but have
      been absent from secondary school maori classes for the past
      thirteen years until being republished by the education
      ministry's learning media group

  <WSC#MSN156:0215:WH>
      maori publications editor walton walker says during this time
      there've been NO maori publications specifically prepared for
      secondary schools

  <WSC#MSN156:0220:WH>
      he says learning media intends to follow up with three more
      books in each series before the end of the year <,>
