Chronology of engagement with iwi:

Raukumara Blocks Offer

Chronology of Engagement with Ngati Porou re: Raukumara Blocks Offer

1. 15 August 2008: when the consultation information was mailed-out, MED officials
also contacted Ngati Porou and Te Whanau a Apanui as a courtesy measure to
advise those peoples personally of the process. The legal advisers of Ngati
Porou – Kahui Legal – were advised by phone on this date, and on request were
sent a further copy of the consultation information when the proposal was mailed
out.

2. 19 August 2008: details of the proposed Raukumara blocks offer, including an

explanatory letter, a map of the blocks, and the terms and conditions likely to be
associated with any permit, were sent to the 69 iwi and hapu (Appendix 1) who
are geographically associated with the proposal. Those iwi and hapu were invited
to forward their comments on the proposal, including any request for an
amendment(s), and also offered kanohi ki te kanohi or face-to-face consultation if
they so wished.

3. 10 September 2008: Te Runanga o Ngati Porou (Anne Manuel, Executive

Assistant to the Kaihautu (CEO) Ms Amohaere Houkamau) responded by email
acknowledging the consultation information and requesting a kanohi ki te kanohi
(with a tentative offer of a date in the week beginning 6 October 2008 for this
meeting) to discuss the proposal.

4. 10 September 2008: in reply, the Ministry (Rob Robson, Crown Minerals Policy
Manager) advised that it would be delighted to meet at that time and could Ngati
Porou confirm a meeting time/place to suit the iwi.

5. Ngati Porou did not reply.

6. 8 October 2008: at 9:55am, the Ministry (Robson) phoned the Executive

Assistant to the Kaihautu (CEO) for Ngati Porou and explained that the
consultation period had been extended to 40 working days, and that we would like
to finalise the shape and terms of the proposal. The Ministry offered the date of
21 October 2008 as a time it could travel to Gisborne for kanohi ki te kanohi or,
having been advised that the Ngati Porou negotiations team travelled to
Wellington weekly, suggested the alternative of meeting at the Ministry at any
suitable time. Ngati Porou’s Executive Assistant noted that the iwi was very busy
with its Treaty negotiations and Foreshore and Seabed settlement but undertook
to respond in the next few days as to whether a meeting (in Wellington or in
Gisborne) could be arranged.

7. 14 October 2008: the Ministry (Robson) having not received any further response
phoned Ngati Porou’s Executive Assistant one further time. Ms Anne Manuel
advised that it was “not a good time at this stage” but would discuss the matter of
kanohi ki te kanohi with the CEO and respond by phone or email later that day.

 8. No further response or comments on the proposal were received from Te
Runanga o Ngati Porou by the end of the 40 working day period for making
submissions.

Reference to Blocks Offer during Protocol Negotiations

9. 25 February 2010: Ngati Porou questioned why they were not consulted
regarding the Raukumara Blocks Offer.

10. 17 March 2010: the first meeting occurred to negotiate the MED / Ngati Porou
settlement protocol. Ngati Porou’s question of 25 February 2010 on why they
were not consulted regarding the Raukumara Blocks Offer was discussed. Rob
Robson read them the extract from the Minister’s briefing of 28 November 2008
and received an apology from Dr Apirana Mahuika, the Chair of Ngati Porou, for
their lack of engagement at the time. The apology was accepted, the matter
considered at rest by all.

11. 5 May 2010: in a meeting on this date, the Ministry (Robson) undertook to advise
Ngati Porou by phone and by letter on the day of granting of the blocks offer,
which would be Tuesday 1 June 2010, regarding whom would be awarded the
exploration permit(s). At that meeting, Ngati Porou representatives did not raise
any objections to that notification process and advised that Robson should phone
either Dr Apirana Mahuika (whose PA is Albe Mcfarlane) or Dr Monty Soutar
(Ngati Porou CEO) both on 06 867 9960. Dr Mahuika was not in attendance at the
time those process decisions were agreed.

12. 1 June 2010: at about 3pm on this date, Robson phoned Ngati Porou - neither Dr
Mahuika nor Dr Soutar were available. Robson advised Dr Mahuika's PA, Mr
Albe Mcfarlane, that Petrobras were to be awarded the permit at 4pm and outlined
who Petrobras were and requested that Mr Mcfarlane convey those things to Dr
Mahuika. Robson also said that he (MED) would advise Dr Mahuika in writing
about Petrobras.

Chronology of Engagement with Te Whanau a Apanui re: Raukumara Blocks Offer

13. 19 August 2008: the details of the proposed Raukumara blocks offer, including
an explanatory letter, a map of the blocks, and the terms and conditions likely to
be associated with any permit, were sent to the 69 iwi and hapu (Appendix 1) who
are geographically associated with the proposal. Those iwi and hapu were invited
to forward their comments on the proposal, including any request for an
amendment(s), and also offered kanohi ki te kanohi or face-to-face consultation if
they so wished.

14. 19 August 2008: when the consultation information was mailed-out, MED officials
also contacted Ngati Porou and Te Whanau a Apanui as a courtesy measure to
advise those peoples personally of the process. Officials were not initially
successful in contacting Dayle Takitumu, Counsel for Te Whanau a Apanui, by
phone and therefore advised of the impending consultation information via e-mail
sent on this date.

1035540
 15. 20 August 2008: the Ministry received a reply (by email) from Dayle Takitumu of
the Te Whanau a Apanui negotiations team, which expressed concerns that the
proposal was being progressed at all while Te Whanau a Apanui were in
negotiations regarding the recognition of their interests in the foreshore and
seabed. In particular, Dayle Takitumu noted that:

“We had asked that no actions would be taken by the Crown or its
departments to affect our interests until after the negotiations had been
completed. The Crown made this undertaking in the Terms of Negotiation.
Instead we find that this is not the case, and we have to deal with different
Government ministries progressing their agenda whilst we are trying to
protect the interests of the iwi.”

16. 17 September 2008: officials sent a further e-mail (when unsuccessful in making
direct phone contact with Dayle Takitumu) offering to meet the negotiations team
at a suitable time in the week commencing 6 October. MED’s 17 September 2008
email was not replied to.

17. 16 October 2008: at the end of the 40 working day extension period for making
formal submissions (despite officials having made two further attempts to contact
Dayle Takitumu by phone (leaving messages)), the Ministry had not received any
further response from Te Whanau a Apanui and had been advised by Ministry of
Justice that at that time Te Whanau a Apanui was taking matters around the
foreshore and seabed negotiations more slowly.
