Dear Ministry of Māori Development,

 

Under the Official Information Act I'm seeking information on the policy
work Te Puni Kokiri has done with Te Matawai following the review of Te
Ture Mo Te Reo Maori 2016.
[7]https://aus01.safelinks.protection.outlo...

 

SCOPE:* I'm not seeking information on the Category 1 recommendations
being progressed through the Maori Purposes Bill. I can see those changes
on your webiste and the Parliament website.

* I seek information on policy work on the Category 2 & 3 review
recommendations from since the Minister of Māori Development received the
report in November 2022 until now. I request:

a) Key internal reports, key working documents, key planning documents
about policy work on the Category 2 & 3 recommendations.

b) Any final reports to the Minister of Maori Development about the
Category 2 & 3 recommendations.

I'd appreciate confirmation this request has been received.

I've made a request to Te Matawai for information also.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Frank Kingi
