NZ Justice Minister Paul Goldsmith faced criticism for comments suggesting a 100% customary marine title should be reduced to 5%. The Waitangi Tribunal is holding an urgent hearing into proposed changes to the Marine and Coastal (Takutai Moana) Act 2011, due to confusion caused by the policy announcement. The Act sets criteria for recognizing customary title while maintaining public access, fishing, and navigation rights and prohibiting any sale of such title.
