Pacific People's Ministry Faces Abolition Calls
Minister Goldsmith stated the government will not consider abolishing the Pacific People's Ministry for the remainder of the term. The ministry aims to reduce crime victimization rates, noting Pacific people are statistically more likely to be victims. Goldsmith said the ministry provides essential expertise to other ministers. The decision follows calls from political opponents to scrap the department. The ministry's role includes addressing the fact that Pacific people in Aotearoa are more likely to be victims of crime.
