"Co-governance is not the goal ... it’s the next bus stop in a journey that has to be made."

"Co-governance is not the goal.
    "Co-governance is not our term. Mana Motuhake is our term. So we are committed to washing away dependency on the Crown, and raising maximum authority for Tuhoe people.
    "I don’t see it as the final destination. I don’t see co-governance as the answer. But I think it’s the next bus stop in a journey that has to be made. It’s everyone’s journey. It’s like gravity, you can’t defy it. It’s on its way."

~ Tuhoe negotiator Tamaki Kruger, "keeping a watchful on conversations about co-governance." Cited in Thomas Cranmer's article 'Three Waters, co-governance and the lessons from Tuhoe'
