Answer

No. The Government has not considered the Waitangi Tribunal’s report Hūtia te Rito o te Harakeke, kei Hea te Kōmako e Kō? The Interim Stage One Report of the Education and Training Amendment Act and Te Mātaiaho Urgent Inquiry published on 15 May 2026. This is also my response to written parliamentary question 19710 (2026).
