[edit] Industry

I have reduced the size of this section a little, deleting some of the detail of Maori disadvantage, but retaining the overall significance of the loss of the meat works.

I'm not quite sure of the relevance of the material about the pollution of the reef, however: when were these Waitangi Tribunal hearings held and do these concerns still exist? I assume that it was recognised that though the works in general were good for the town, the pollution wasn't, but I'm a bit confused about the timing of the action against the pollution. If the hearings were held prior to the closure of the meat works, this section would be better treated more briefly and inserted higher, so it's dealt with before discussion on the closure.Grimhim 12:18, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
