12759 (2025). Camilla Belich to the Minister for Māori Development: What is the total amount, if any, spent on social media advertising and influencers by any agencies under the Minister’s responsibility since 27 November 2023, broken down by agency and platform?
Hon Tama Potaka: I am advised by Te Puni Kōkiri that its published Annual Review covers Vote Māori Development and a split between Māori Development and Whānau Ora appropriations is not possible. I refer the Member to Te Puni Kōkiri's evidence to the Maori Affairs Select Committee during its 2023/24 annual review of the Ministry’s performance, available on the Parliament website: https://www.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. Te Puni Kōkiri's responses to Questions 50 and 51 provide information for the period 1 Hōngongoi 2023 to 30 Pipiri 2024 for Vote Māori Development. Information for the period 1 Hōngongoi 2024 onwards will be provided by Te Puni Kōkiri as part of the forthcoming 2024/25 annual review.
