Hot Topics - Community Sector Taskforce

Te Wero (2004)

Te Wero, the second Community Sector Taskforce group, was established from the recommendations of the Phase Two Steering Group to provide an independent perspective to that of the community and voluntary sector and of government.

Priorities

• Identifying the principles of key features of Tiriti/Treaty relationship practice between government agencies and tangata whenua.
