Govt proposal to shake up Te Arawhiti under fire

Checkpoint - A podcast by RNZ - Mondays

The government's proposal to shake up Te Arawhiti, the office for Maori Crown relations is only a few hours old and is already coming under fire. It's been described as an attack on the place of Maori in Aotearoa - by the union representing the 200 people who work at Te Arawhiti. As part of the plan laid out this afternoon, Te Arawhiti will be stripped back to focus on Treaty Settlements and Taku-tai Moana applications only, Minister for Maori Crown Relations Tama Potaka speaks to Lisa Owen.
