Actually it has been the highlight of my day to come here and read all these (sometimes hilarious) comments about Taemaro and all the people involved with that whenua. At the same time, it is very revealing as to how many people actually know what they are talking about when referring to Taemaro and Waimahana and the people who once were the owners of that whenua. Too many opportunitists jumped on board when the Treaty claim first began back in 1985, 1997 and right up to this day. The true owners of the whenua will be the victors at the end of the day. If you don't own it, then you shouldn't be even thinking of trying to claim it. The true owners of that whenua know who they are. If you are not an owner, then do the right thing and buzz off. Don't try to claim something that does not belong to you. Let the true owners (people of Taemaro and Waimahana) have what belongs to them.
