What a yes vote confirms...

The real strength of this settlement lies in our Unity. A ‘Yes’ vote confirms our collective readiness to stepforward, together, towards Waikaremoana’s aspirations. It allows us to immediately begin building our villages, investingin our Marae and whānau, and preparing for our self-governance. A ‘No’ vote, conversely, would diverge from the collective path we have carefully charted.
