Otekaike Land Lease Clause 80 Debate in New Zealand
The Otago Daily Times questions whether clause 80 of the Land Laws Amendment Act allows renewal leases without competition for workers displaced by government land acquisition at Otekaike. It argues the policy is paternalistic but legal, noting 18,744 acres have already been allotted under the clause to former employees of the estate owners, Robert Campbell and Company, and discusses fairness and state responsibility in closer settlement.
