The scrapping of three Maori seats on the plan for a new Auckland Super City- as proposed by the Royal Commission of Inquiry into Auckland Governance- has raised serious concerns about the consequences of the Super City without the Maori voice. A hikoi is being organized to protest the government's plan not to include Maori representation in the proposed Auckland Super City. On May 25, 2009, the Maori will march to create a better understanding of the proposed Super City without a diverse representation in the local government.
