The government says it will launch a review into the Waitangi Tribunal to refocus the "scope, purpose and nature" of the Tribunal's inquiries back to its "original intent".

The review, announced yesterday afternoon, is part of the coalition agreement between New Zealand First and National and will be led by an Independent Technical Advisory Group, supported by Te Puni Kōkiri.

Minister for Māori Development Tama Potaka and Labour MP Willie Jackson discuss the review.
