Local Government Minister Nanaia Mahuta makes an announcement at the New Plymouth District Council regarding Māori wards. (First published Feb 1, 2021) A change in law was passed which means local polls with five or more percent can no longer overturn a council s decision to introduce Māori wards. This week the Far North District Council was the latest of 10 councils to agree to introduce a Maori ward in time for the 2022 election joining three other councils which already had a Maori ward in place. The Invercargill City Council will vote on Tuesday if they will or will not bring in a Maori ward.
