Support for Bastion Point

Just before two o'clock the meeting arrived at a policy decision. A motion to support the Orakei Maori Action Committee and the Ngati Whatua people in their land struggle at Bastion Point was passed as was motion giving them $200 for a speaking tour to canvass support. However, as Peter Thrush intimated, SRC can only make policy and it is the executive which finally decides on financial matters so the SRC motion for $200 remains only a recommendation to the executive.

This small amount of policy having been decided SRC disbanded itself just after two o'colock.

SRC's are on Wednesday lunchtime 12-2. SRC's are held every 2 weeks.
