Fewer Maoris own homes
PA Wellington Maori home-ownership must be researched if it was to draw level with that of noo-Maoris, the New Zealand Maori Council told the Government yesterday. Tn a comprehensive report to the Ministers of Hot wing and Maori Affairs, the council said that only 45 per cent of Maoris owned permanent private housing, compared with 73 per cent of 008-Maoris. The prospect of this difference persisting or widening emphasised the need ifor research and ac-
tion, it said. The report’s author, Mr Whatarangi Winiata, an accounting professor at Victoria University, said that the National Housing Cornmission, the Wellington Regional Council, and the Maori Affairs Department had all neglected this area, in spite of the. $22 million for “Maori housing” being the largest single item in the department’s vote, “Very little effort, time, and money are being put into the study of Maori . housing,” said Professor Miniate.
