On Wednesday media outlets and the Public Sector Association separately reported that Te Puni Kōkiri was to be restructured, in order to reduce costs by $5 million per year, and that this was likely to result in 50 job losses and the closure of some regional offices.
Te Puni Kōkiri also provided a press release that evening which confirmed a role shift, and reduced resourcing going forward (no amount was given). However the agency clarified that no redundancy announcements had been made, nor office closures confirmed. (I.e. the 50 positions mentioned appears to be a loose media estimate, perhaps based off $100,000 in costs per staff position.)
