Tens of millions of dollars going to Treaty of Waitangi negotiators and lawyers
So roughly 6 mill per year since first settlement 1998 with Tainui. 120 million actually sounds believable for lawyers and gravy trains which is a substantial amount. These deals have been going on prior of course and ther have been several settlements in decades prior, throughout the 20th century only to require "top ups".
They have engineered a revolving legal sytem that is not available for any other NZer
