Subject: Minister Allan - speech
INFORMATION
Kia ora s9(2)(a),
Minister Allan has been invited to give a speech to a number of wahine Māori leaders in the law firm.
They are meeting on Waiheke Island from 16-18 of June and staying at Onetangi Apartments. We
would welcome the attendance of the Minister if she is able to fit it in. In particular we are keen to hear
from her about her journey in the law and advocacy in the political sphere. You will recall we booked
this last year but it was cancelled due to Covid.
