Kelvin Davis navigates new post-treaty settlement role

Māori MPs are set to hold 18 ministerial portfolios in the new Labour led government - including a newly created portfolio focusing on the post-treaty settlement period.

Kelvin Davis' portfolio of Minister for Crown and Māori relations will be of particular interest to Māori - especially after Andrew Little was named the Minister for Treaty of Waitangi Negotiations.

Mr Davis' new ministerial portfolio will see him work with Māori and Māori organisations in the post-treaty settlement era. Te Manu Korihi reporter John Boynton has more.
