My first job was at the PCE—the Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment—an Officer of this House, where, 20 years ago, we investigated a Treaty-based environment audit system, proposing ways to increase and restore mana whenua involvement in environmental management, which, unfortunately, seems as relevant today as it did then. My commitment to strengthening recognition of the Treaty of Waitangi remains. My legal career has covered environmental law, planning, resource management, and local government law. Most recently, I worked on the six-member Randerson review, which included how we build decision-making partnerships between mana whenua and both central and local government. I look forward to helping this Government reform and improve resource management legislation this term.
