‘Unelected Maori to get votes on council
Unelected members of the Auckland Council’s Maori advisory board will be able to vote on council committees.
The Aucklander newspaper reported that as many as 20 of the council’s committees, panels and forums will have two Maori Statutory Board members at meetings.
They will effectively act as two other councillors, as they will be able to vote.’ source
