Bastion barter bid
PA Auckland Bastion Point protesters have tendered for the 1.6 hectares of the point with an offer identical to that given to Auckland Maoris in 1841. The group has offered the manager of the Housing Corporation in Auckland 50 blankets, 20 trousers, 10 waistcoats, 10 iron pots, a box of
pipes, a bag of flour, £5O, 20 shirts, 10 caps, 4 casks of tobacco, 100 yards of gown pieces, and 20 hatchets for the controversial Bastion Point. The offer described the land as “ancestral Maori land hitherto unlawfully confiscated by the New Zealand Government, now advertised for sale as Bastion Point.”
