53134 (2025). Debbie Ngarewa-Packer to the Minister for Social Development and Employment: What assessment, if any, has the Minister made of the social and economic impact on whānau, hapū and iwi in the Manawatū-Horowhenua-Rangitīkei region should Te Whare Pūkai cease operations due to lack of funding?

Hon Louise Upston: None. This question relates to operational decisions made by the Ministry of Social Development. It would not be appropriate for me to comment.
