39274 (2026). Vanushi Walters to the Minister of Foreign Affairs: Does the Government support the substantive objective of draft resolution A/80/L.107 — enhancing the participation of Indigenous Peoples' representatives and representative institutions in meetings of relevant United Nations bodies — as distinct from any concerns it holds about references in that text to the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, and if so, why did New Zealand not vote in favour on 31 August 2026?
Rt Hon Winston Peters: Yes.
