Subject: Official Information request - Funding of Maori cultural
programmes within State Owned Enterprises

Dear The Treasury,

Thank you for your earlier response.

I would like to understand how your governance/appointment decisions have
impacted the financial efficiency and focus of organisations that you
appoint Directors to.

a.    What expectation have Treasury set, where you have appointed
Directors, to pursue a 'traditional' Maori focused agenda.  i.e.
expectations set with Chairs or Deputy Chairs of Boards by Treasury
Officials.

b.   What is the spend in current FY (to 30.06.24) of each State Owned
Enterprise that you monitor on Maori cultural competency, engagement,
work, Miki whataku (and anything similar) and costs of those staff who
have been recruited into Maori focused roles (salary, expenses etc) and
consultants engaged to in relation to anything related to the above.  How
are those costs projected to change next FY for each organisation?

Yours faithfully,

Harry Chan

Dear Mr Chan,

 

I refer to your OIA request of the Treasury dated 23 June.  The Treasury
has transferred part of that request to Landcorp Farming Limited (Pâmu)
under s14 of the OIA.  The transferred portion is:

 

What is the spend in current FY (to 30.06.24) of each State Owned
Enterprise that you monitor on Maori cultural competency, engagement,
work, Miki whataku (and anything similar) and costs of those staff who
have been recruited into Maori focused roles (salary, expenses etc) and
consultants engaged to in relation to anything related to the above.  How
are those costs projected to change next FY for each organisation?

 

I am providing a response to your request on behalf of, and relating to,
Pâmu as one of the SOEs in scope.

 

Given Pâmu’s workforce composition and business activity we have a need
for cultural understanding as we seek to: connect with and develop our
staff, recognise waahi tapu on land which we farm, occasionally assist
with resource consenting and assist in Crown settlement of historic Treaty
of Waitangi claims.   We have no specific ‘Mâori focused roles’, nor do we
monitor Mâori cultural competency. 

 

Over the FY24 year we spent $2,509 on consultants for strategic advice and
translation related activities.   We have an internal staff-led group to
assist us with cultural uplift and use free resources provided by Mâori
Language Commission to support staff with te reo pronunciation and pepeha
development.  During FY24, the internal group held a hui at a marae in
close proximity to one of our farming complexes the cost of which was
approximately $3,000 (koha, catering and accommodation). 

 

We do not foresee our approach changing in FY25 – in particular Pâmu has
no plans to recruit specific Maori focussed roles.

 

In addition, during FY24, some staff may have engaged in Te Reo and
cultural competency courses as part of their personal professional
development plans agreed with their managers.  The number of staff and the
specific nature of any courses attended are not kept in Pâmu records.

 

 

Regards,

Alistair
