Answer

I refer the Member to my answer to written question 7392 (2026). I have taken one paper to Cabinet regarding proposed legislation to give post-settlement governance entities the choice to be exempt from sections 237 and 245 of Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993. The Cabinet paper dated 6 June 2025, titled “Exempting Post Settlement Governance Entities from the supervisory jurisdiction of the Māori Land Court” has been proactively released and is available on the Te Puni Kōkiri website: https://www.tpk.govt.nz/en/mo-te-puni-kokiri/corporate-documents/cabinet-papers/all-cabinet-papers/exempting-postsettlement-governance-entities-from-.
