Shane Jones seems to be in trouble with the Māori Law Society.
They’ve written to Christopher Luxon about his comments surrounding the Waitangi Tribunal and their review into Oranga Tamariki.
He effectively said the Tribunal has no business in running operations like some sort of star chamber, delivering summons for ministers to rock up and be cross-examined.
ZB’s Senior Political Correspondent, Barry Soper, told Heather du Plessis-Allan that he’s absolutely right, as it’s not a judicial body as such, but rather a commission of inquiry.
