7429 (2025). Hon Willie Jackson to the Minister for Māori Crown Relations: Te Arawhiti: Does the Minister agree with the Prime Minister that the Maori Crown relationship is "probably worse" since the coalition took office, and if so, what specific actions will he be doing to strengthen the relationship moving forward?

Hon Tama Potaka: The relationship between Iwi, Māori and the Crown will go through ups and downs. But as the Prime Minister said at Rātana this year, the most important thing is that we keep talking.
