    Questions over who's in charge of building at Ihumatao - and why nothing has been developed

    Questions over who's in charge of building at Ihumatao - and why nothing has been developed


    The Government bought the land in South Auckland from Fletcher Building in 2020 - after high-profile protest action by mana whenua.

    Some housing would still be built under the deal.

    The Housing Ministry says the Ropu Whakahaere's responsible for decisions on the land, but National says the governance is unclear.

    Associate housing spokesman Tama Potaka says some Ropu members won't want any housing.

    He says the fundamental problem is there's a housing crisis - we've spent 30-million-dollars buying land - and nearly three years on, there's no plan.
