Minister unimpressed by marae serving kereru

The marae where kereru was served up to government ministers says it didn't know at the time that it was illegal to eat the protected native bird. Amy Adams, Nathan Guy and Dame Tariana Turia were at a meeting of around 40 iwi leaders at Maungarongo Marae in Ohakune in 2013 where kereru was on the menu. Conservation Minister Maggie Barry says that serving kereru which has died of natural causes is extremely unwise. Source: NZN Video
