Prime Minister Jenny Shipley said today that appointments to
the Treaty of Waitangi Fisheries' Commission had not been
finalised.
Mrs Shipley was responding to media
speculation about the appointment process.
"The
Minister of Maori Affairs, Hon Tau Henare, and I will
discuss the issue in full and the Government will make a
decision in due course. Until a decision has been taken,
all media speculation is premature."
