Street View: Who do you think should have ownership of New Zealand waterways?
No one, it should be open to everybody.

I think Maori should have that ownership or at least a partnership with government and in Rotorua with council.
MIKE BYRNE, 60ish
Springfield
I believe ownership should be the government's, they are representatives of the people, all the people of New Zealand. Our resources should be for everybody.
BILL GLADSTONE, 71
Glenholme
I feel like no one should own it. Share it, and look after it. I guess the Maori council believe more in caring for the land because that's a big part of our culture.
LEONIE TINA, 34
Koutu
I think there needs to be an ongoing ownership for Maori. I don't really know who should be making the rules but opening the dialogue is key.
BRETT RAWLINGS, 29
