E Inoi ana nga kai-pitihana mo tetahi whenua mo Whakarewa, he whenua i hoatu hei turanga kura mo nga tamariki o te iwi o Ngatiraukawa, otira kua kapi taua kura inaianei, a e inoi ana ia kia whakahokia tonutia atu ki aia inaianei ano.
Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei: No te mea i tukuna te ripoata mo tenei take i te Paramete kua hori nei A kua ki a te Make kei te aroaro o te Kawanatanga te ripoata hei whirawhiria ma ratou. Heoi ka tono ano te Komiti ki te Kawanatanga kia tahuri ratou ki te hanga mai i tetahi Ture hei whakaoti i tenei take.
