On 6 August the Presiding Officer of the Waitangi
Tribunal’s National Fresh Water and Geothermal Resource Inquiry, Chief Judge
Wilson Isaac, issued memorandum-directions indicating that the Tribunal will
endeavour to produce an interim report by 24 August 2012. The Tribunal
had previously indicated that it would report on stage one of the inquiry in
September 2012 and had requested that the Crown wait until that time before
proceeding with the sale of shares in state-owned power generating companies.
The 6 August direction responds to a memorandum submitted on behalf of the
Crown on 2 August that requested the Tribunal to complete its stage one report
by 24 August.
