Tokotoru ngā tangata kua mate, nā ngā waipuke te take, a, ki tā ngā mana whakahaere, ka puke ake ngā raru ki Poitīkape me Ipswich.
Ko Bundaberg me te whārua o Lockyer ngā wāhi kua kaha patua e ngā waipuke, inaianei e anga atu ana te huripari ki Poihākena .
He 140,000 ngā uri Māori e noho ana ki Ahitereiria, he toru tekau mano o rātou e noho ana ki Piripane. I rohea te waipuke ki reira, i te tau 2011.
Ko tā te hēkeretari o te Queensland Māori Society a Marama Rawiri katahi ano te nuinga o te hunga i patua e taua awhi kia whakatikahia ngā raru o taua wā, inaianei he raru nui ano kua pupū ake mō rātou.
E whakaritea ana ngā kainoho o ngā wāhi kua pēhi nei e te huripari mō ngā waipuke mei kore ka tau atu kia rātou e whakapae ana he tekau ma rima mita te putu. Ko tā Marama Rawiri i tenei wā kua ahua whakaritea kē ngā kainoho o reira mō tēnei āhuatanga nā ngā raru kua pā ki a rātou i ngā tau kua pahure.
E hia mano ngā tāngata o Piripane me Ipswich kāore i te mōhio he aha te ara whakamua mā rātou na te huripari nei. Ko tā Marama kāore ia i te mataku ko tana aronga nui ko te tiaki i tōna whānau me tōna kāinga.
E matapaetia ana ka urupatu a huripari Oswald i Poihakena, ā, e rima tekau ma waru mano neke atu ngā kāinga kei te noho kore hiko i tēnei wā.
