Whakakiia te rerenga e whai ake nei:
I hinga te pooti reipurangi o Ahitereiria i te tau 1999 e 54.4% o te taupori, ahakoa ko nga pooti e whakaatu ana i te nuinga i tautoko i te noho hei kawanatanga. E whakapono ana ko te tauira i whakaarohia mo te kawanatanga (kaore he perehitini i pooti tika) kaore i pai ki te nuinga o nga Ahitereiria. I whai ake te pooti i te taunakitanga o te 1998 Constitutional Convention i karangahia hei matapaki i te take o Ahitereiria hei kawanatanga. Heoi anō, tata ki te tekau tau i muri mai, i tohua a Kevin Rudd hei Pirimia, i muri i tana whakapuaki i te mea he wāhanga tonu te motu o tana rōpū, ā, i kī i tōna whakapono me haere tonu te tautohetohe mo te huringa ture.
