4704 (2025). Teanau Tuiono to the Minister for Māori Development: What expertise does the Minister believe that Grant Hadfield will bring to the Waitangi Tribunal considering the significant opposition from local hapū constituents in his own area?

Hon Tama Potaka: I refer the Member to the Beehive website where I announced the appointments and where I provided information on each of the individuals appointed. https://www.beehive.govt.nz/release/new-members-appointed-waitangi-tribunal-0. When it comes to the considerations I take when recommending appointments to the Waitangi Tribunal, I refer the Member to my response to PQ 887 (2025).
