E whai nei te Minita Take Kāwanatanga ā Rohe, a Nanaia Mahuta ki te panoni i ngā ture pōti ā rohe, nō muri i te tohe i te rohe o Galatea-Murupara i poua ai a Hinerangi Goodman hei kaikaunihera, kātahi ka kounutia te whakatau.
Hei tā Mahuta, mā te tīni i te ture e mutu ai tēnei āhuatanga. Kua puta i a ia ētahi panonitanga, ā āhea ērā mana ai i tētahi pānui i te rā nei.

Ka whai tēnei i te whakahokinga atu o Alison Silcock hei kaikaunihera mō te rohe pōti o Galatea-Murupara, i te putanga o ngā pōti i tatauria anō, nā te pōti kotahi i puta whakamua atu ai ia i te kaipāho ōmua, i a Hinerangi Goodman.
Tangi ana te karere tautōhito ō mua, a Hinerangi Goodman, ko tōna ekenga ki te tūranga kaikaunihera i werohia e tōna hoariri. Ka whai tēnei i te ekenga o Goodman ki te tūranga kaikaunihera i te Kaunihera ā Rohe o Whakatāne.
