48773 (2025). Francisco Hernandez to the Minister for Māori Development: What consultations are the Minister’s departments, agencies, crown entities and any other bodies that the Minister is responsible for, if any, planning to open on the week beginning Monday 29 September 2025 with employees around any changes to employment roles, employment numbers and any other employment conditions, and what is the proposed net change in roles?

Hon Tama Potaka: I am advised that on 2 October 2025 Te Puni Kōkiri opened consultation which proposed changes, including reductions, to parts of the organisational structure. Consultation is scheduled to close on 16 October 2025. The proposed net reduction to positions is 34. However, this reduction remains a proposal until final decisions are made following the conclusion of consultation.
