Hon Tama Potaka: I refer the Member to the evidence provided by Te Puni Kōkiri to Māori Affairs Select Committee during its 2023/24 Annual Review, published on the Parliament website Questions 19 and 20 ( https://www3.parliament.nz/en/pb/sc/submissions-and-advice/document/54SCMAOC_EVI_26cef304-d16e-499e-9e77-08dcf4828bfe_MAOC1548/te-puni-k%C5%8Dkiri-responses-to-written-questions-1-210). I am advised by Te Puni Kōkiri that since 27 November 2023 it has renewed office leases in New Plymouth, Kaikohe, Nelson, Tauranga, Porirua and Whangārei; relocated offices in Invercargill, Wellington, Whakatane; and exited the office in Ruatoria. The relocated offices were part of a consolidated work programme.
