毛利选区议员尼克·图帕拉因吉斯本区议会会议出席率低而受到批评后,为自己的记录辩护。图帕拉在当选后的一年中参加了87%的会议和研讨会,他因缺席会议而受到议员拉里·福斯特的召唤。图帕拉的回应是强调了毛利人选区在地方治理中的重要性以及他对为社区服务的承诺。

另一位毛利选区代表拉维尼亚·帕拉塔议员也表达了图帕拉的观点,他说受访者每次参加理事会讨论都会证明自己的价值和能力。帕拉塔在担任议员的角色与抚养家庭和两小时通勤之间取得了平衡,她强调毛利人社区需要公平和代表性。

讨论还触及了年轻议员所面临的挑战,他们经常将理事会职责与其他工作和责任混为一谈。一些议员指出,该职位的薪酬是公平的,但不足以作为主要收入。

议员奥布里·里亚(Aubrey Ria)有全职工作,除了担任理事会职务之外还是一名母亲,她的出席率为70%。尽管面临健康挑战,包括心脏手术,但里亚仍然致力于履行自己的职责,甚至从医院的病床上打电话来分享理事会讨论的重要观点。

梅西大学政治学教授理查德·肖博士说,毛利人病房是一项相对较新的创新,要充分发挥其潜力需要时间。他补充说,这些选区是民主传统的一部分,允许在议会议席上听到不同的声音,这对新西兰的宪法安排和《威坦哲条约》具有重要意义。
