Justice Minister Paul Goldsmith has said he won't re-appoint Chief Human Rights Commissioner Paul Hunt.
Goldsmith told Heather du Plessis-Allan that he wants to see a Human Rights Commissioner "who's really focused on fundamental human rights such as free speech, freedom of expression and equal voting.
All these sorts of issues that I haven't heard quite as much as I would have liked to over the past five years."
Paul Hunt's warrant for the role currently ends in January 2024
