Justice is emerging as a hot issue in consultations on the new Crown Maori Relationships portfolio.
Minister Kelvin Davis says a hui in Hastings yesterday drew more than 130 people, and there were similar numbers in Gisborne on Saturday.
Different issues have been raised at each hui around the country, but some themes are emerging.
"Why is it that our people seem to be predominantly (those) ending up in courts and heading on to prison, so it's really good to have these conversations," Mr Davis says.
