The Treaty Negotiations Minister admits people are losing patience on a Ngāpuhi settlement, but says they want it to last. 

New Zealand First is launching a Bill, proposing a one-and-done treaty settlement for the largest iwi, rather than multiple hapu settlements. 

Paul Goldsmith says that although he sympathises with the desire for a faster resolution, if you want an enduring settlement, you need people to be prepared to settle. 

He told Mike Hosking that the settlement has to have the support of around 200,000 to 300,000 people, which has been the challenge in the past. 

Goldsmith says that they have a good plan now, and they’re making good progress on the work that’s currently underway.
