	Description:		It's about sharing. That's how Willie Jackson's describing co-governance as he urges Kiwis to embrace an indigenous people’s rights declaration. A draft plan is one step closer after consultation alongside Maori, including workshops with iwi, hapu, and health groups. Maori Development Minister Jackson told Andrew Dickens the declaration is not the controversial He Puapua report. He's defending the decision to only work with Maori so far. “Well because we have a treaty, you might’ve heard of it. And when you have a treaty, there’s a special relationship between Maori and the Crown.” The previous National Government agreed to adopting the declaration more than a decade ago.
