The Ministry of Social Development Social Report 2016 (p.160) reports on the proportion of members who were women, by type of local authority, 1989-2013, and the proportion of mayors who were women, 1989-2013. I am wanting this data disaggregated by ethnicity, specifically by Maori vs. non-Maori women, to know what proportion of these women were Maori.

Claimants in the Mana Wahine Claim before the Waitangi Tribunal, Wai 2700, want to describe how the proportion of Maori women in local body governance has changed from 1985 to the present day.

Providing claimants with evidence of Maori women's participation in local body governance roles.
