Suspended minister Meka Whaitiri says she is co-operating fully with a ministerial inquiry into her conduct with a staff member but has thrown no light on what took place.
"I am co-operating with the investigation and I've got no further comment," she told reporters at Parliament.
She spoke briefly about
the suspension after speaking Parliament today to support a Treaty of Waitangi settlement bill relating to Te Rohe o Te Wairoa in her Ikaroa Rawhiti electorate.
She said she had had huge support in the wake of her suspension, which was announced on Wednesday last week by Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern.
"Unbelievable support and I'm very humbled by that," she said.
