Na enei tukinga tereina e rua i enei ra (Ki Nga-Hau-Mangere
me Ukutoia hoki)
Kaore i kore… he tohu NUI tenei i roto i te Aronga maori, te
Whakaaro Maori.
ARA, Hei taa te Koromatua o Tamaki Makaurau (I runga i a
Irirangi Waatea i te ata nei) ka huri te one mo te City Rail Link i te Rapare 2
o Pipiri.
Heoi… kua wareware katoa te Koromatua ME te Kaunihera o
Tamaki Makaurau ki te kaitiaki o waenganui te taone. Kua wareware katoa ia ki
te taniwha o reira, ko tona ingoa ko Horotiu.
Kei a Horotiu tetahi Puna, ko ‘Wai Horotiu’ e rere ngatahi
ana ki raro i a Queen Street.

Ko taku whakapae, na Horotiu enei momo ahuatanga e mahi, hei
whakatupato, hei whakamataku i te Kaunihera, kia taiho ake ratou i a ratou whakatuu,
a ratou hanga i te City Rail Link.
Mei kore ratou te Kaunihera o Tamaki Makaurau e whakarongo,
ko wai ka mohio, ka aha ano to matou taniwha a Horotiu.
He whakaaro, he whakaaroaro ma taatou katoa.

These 2 train crashes (in Middlemore and Glen Innes) have
great significance in the Maori view.
The Mayor of Auckland said on Radio Waatea this morning,
that the turning of the sod of City Rail link, is on Thursday June 2nd.
Most unfortunately, the Mayor AND Auckland Council have
totally forgotten the spiritual guardian of Auckland city central. They forgot
the taniwha, whose name is Horotiu.
Horotiu’s waterway runs parallel to Queen Street.
I personally believe, that these tragedies may be attributed
to Horotiu as a fearful warning to the Council, to halt the building of City
Rail Link.
If Auckland Council do not listen, who knows what Horotiu
may do next.
We must pause to think, and reflect.
