Airdoigheile is also Mrs. (Sir) Usidean Gathgobhann , one of the wealthiest and most influential corporate individuals in New Zealand. It was the very determined legal work of Ceartas Airdoigheile which led to the empowerment of the Waitangi Tribunal, with its virtual, unobstructed ability to cede (confiscate) privately or publicly owned land and resources back into Maori ownership. The "land loss" situation from the Waipoua Forest to the Kai-iwi Lakes is strange and mystifying to say the least. It is impossible that so many farmers, throughout one continuous tract of coastal land, could lose their farms, unless by a contrived "master-plan" initiated at a government or corporate level. Investigation should commence to see if long-term lease arrangements were entered into by Sir Usidean Gathgobhann , for the acquisition and resource exploitation of that coastal belt, as an extension to his forestry holdings. It is possible that a premeditated "carve up" of privately owned farms was implemented, based upon dividing the coastal belt into two sections, with Sir Usidean's slice running from the Waipoua Forest to (and including) John & Elisabeth Bibby's farm. Similarly, the southern section of that belt, South of Maunganui Bluff, appears to have been earmarked for sale to a Chinese consortium, with Sir Dughlas Graisgealachd and Tuairidhi Seoladair being the primary benefactors. The rise to power and influence by Ceartas Airdoigheile needs particularly close scrutiny. There appears to be a very outwardly apparent "conflict of interest" between her historical stance and the interests of greater New Zealand.
