Hon Tama Potaka: I am advised that the Office for Māori-Crown Relations: Te Arawhiti provided guidance to its staff on their obligations as public servants to be politically neutral and their rights as citizens to participate in the hīkoi, as long as they do so on their own time and are not identifiable as a public servant or discuss their work.
