Kia ora James,

On behalf of Hon Tama Potaka, thank you for your email in which you submitted an Official Information Act request as follows:  

Are you aware of alleged bullying allegations and complaints at the Manukau Urban Māori Authority (MUMA) involving the CEO and the alleged trespassing of union representatives? If so, when was this first brought to your attention?

Please provide all communications including but not limited to texts, emails and meeting notes, concerning the notification and any ongoing discussions/meetings involving the matter.

Have you been made aware under the no surprises rule, of Labour MP Willie Jackson's alleged involvement in this matter including allegedly meeting with the former board chair and asking for a review to be buried.

Please provide all communications if any, with Mr. Jackson involving MUMA since January 2025.

 Minister Potaka is considering your request in accordance with the Act, and you can expect a response by 23 January 2026. This response date takes into account the summer holidays (25 December to 15 January), in accordance with statutory obligations.

Mauri ora,

Ngarewarewa Tata
