30 dic 1953 año - Maori Affairs and Town and Country Planning Acts created "economically retarded areas"

Descripción:

Maori leaders argued, for example, that various pieces of legislation, such as the Maori Affairs and Town and Country Planning Acts of 1953, opposed or ignored Maori interests. The latter legislation, for example, had the capacity to displace entire Maori communities on grounds of ‘public good’. If communities were deemed to be in ‘economically retarded areas’, their inhabitants could be denied departmental loans for repairing houses or building new ones. People would, instead, be encouraged to move to the large towns and cities which needed their labour.
