'RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES' trailer

At the beginning of Episode 3: Rights & Responsibilities, law professor Catherine Iorns is on her way to Napier to speak with councillors about the legal liability they are likely to face around sea level rise when a storm rolls in bringing high tides. A visit to Haumoana, where a whole street of property titles now stretch under the high tide line, shows the challenges local government will face over years to come. Catherine uses her expertise to encourage legal protection of rivers and waterways – her current challenge is to support local iwi in their fight to overturn consent for seabed mining off the Taranaki coast.
