Minister Little touched on some challenges that have been faced in bringing this matter to the second reading, and I note that "The Waitangi Tribunal granted an urgent inquiry after receiving an application from Ngāti Pārau … and members of Ngāti Tu and Ngāi Te Ruruku. The hearing was to consider whether the Crown was in breach of the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi because the mandated entity, by not holding substantive elections, had not established or maintained a proper mandate." The tribunal recommended that the bill be introduced as soon as possible, but only if the post-settlement governance entity agreed to hold trustee elections for positions. I'm pleased that, I understand, elections are to be held in July and August 2021 to resolve this so this bill can be completed and the Ahuriri Hapū can progress their aspirations, as is intended through this bill.
