The thing is Aaron you are going to lose this case because of your amateuristic biassing and interpretation of gathered intelligence, much of which lacks any real credibility other than media fodder to mass produce fear, and the fact that you have been used as a political pawn in a settlement play that was designed to remove and incarcerate certain key people while the Crown began settlement with Tuhoe.

The terror charges failed though, and these people are out on the street, while still banned from going to Tuhoe, they can still communicate with with their Tuhoe whanau and have their say in the negotiation process for an arrangement between the crown and Tuhoe for Mana Motuhake, Tuhoe Sovereignty that is going on at the moment.

The Terror Raids also failed to intimidate the Tuhoe people who have been unflinching in demanding 100% unconditional return of the Urewera and lakes, and official recognition of the independent Tuhoe state.
