FIGHTING FOR
PROMISED
PARTNERSHIP
Former New Plymouth mayor and social justice
campaigner Andrew Judd spoke at Kohupātiki
Marae recently as part of his three year-long
campaign, fighting passionately for the instalment
of promised electoral rights and partnership
for Māori. He has been described as, “The
Pākehā who became the face of a movement to
give Māori a voice at the council table,” by Deena
Costa. And that voice will soon be heard, because
as of February 2021, decisions by councils
to establish Māori wards could no longer be
overturned by public referenda.

game changing TED talk, Lessons from a Recovering Racist; Kaumātua Bevan Taylor leads the tributes; lunch is served and foot soldiers
pay tribute; Napier City Councillor Sally Crown with Pat and Andrew Judd; Pat is formally honoured for his mahi in the community over
many years.
