Subject: Official Information request - Three Waters

[You don't often get email from [FYI request #19730 email]. Learn why this is important at https://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentific... ]

Dear Department of Internal Affairs,

1. Who are "mana whenua" as mentioned in the Water Services Entites Bill?

2. How are "mana whenua" appointed to the various co-governance boards in Three Waters?

3. Are "mana whenua" elected or appointed? If they are elected, who are their electors?

4. How frequently will "mana whenua" elections be held?

5. Will "mana whenua" elections be run and paid for by the Electoral Commission?

6. Will NZ's electoral laws apply to those elections?

Yours faithfully,

Luke
