	Hekia Parata - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Parata was educated at The University of Waikato, gaining a MA.
		Parata was generally considered to be part of Michelle Boag's attempt to bring "fresh faces" into the party.
		Parata publicly stated that she was "ashamed" to belong to the National Party, and said that the policy was "the antithesis of everything I've worked for professionally and personally." She is not contesting the 2005 elections, and currently holds a senior position at the Ministry of Māori Development.

	WINZ pays $207,500 for Maori advice, fails to meet targets (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		In July the Minister conceded that the portion of Maori on the Job Seeker register had risen to 29.43 percent despite WINZ setting a target of 27 percent.
		McCardle has now revealed that WINZ paid $207,500 to Wira Gardiner and Hekia Parata to 'recommend the best options for providing on-going high-quality Maori advice to the Chief Executive and senior managers on improving outcomes for Maori and ensuring performance in the department's responsiveness to Maori issues'.
		While the Minister claims two firms were asked to provide proposals and quotes, Christine Rankin's announcement of their appointment occurred when she was still Chief Executive designate, indicating that she had moved swiftly to side-step her own staff and bring in the advice she wanted.

	Nats plunge Maori back into colonial past
		Wira Gardiner and his wife Hekia Parata, fellow Maori National Party members of considerable education and professional experience, discovered that as te Heuheu was dumped from her Maori Affairs portfolio.
		I thought that was tough: Parata has always been prepared to wear navy and pearls with the best of them.
		The next-listed MP in the party, she finds herself as sidelined as te Heuheu - and even te Heuheu surely has the odd pearl bauble rattling around in a drawer.

	Community Development Initiatives at the Grassroots - Private Sector
		As many of the case studies have illustrated, grassroots enterprises often have a conflict of values between operating as a group initiative for the collective good, or as a private business for the individual good.
		Hekia Parata (1990) has outlined her vision for New Zealand which goes beyond the pursuit of individual gain:
		Reliance on the state will have diminished significantly, replaced instead with self-reliance where 'self' is defined in the collective context.

	Scoop: Funding Concerns Of Ex-Maori TV Director Unfounded
		Maori Affairs Minister, Parekura Horomia said he is disappointed about the resignation of Hekia Parata as an interim director of the Maori television service, especially with her unfounded concerns about funding.
		Hekia Parata was one of the four directors appointed by the Electoral College to the board of the Maori Television service earlier this year.
		The Minister of Maori Affairs Mr Horomia said he was impressed by the makeup of the original board of directors, which brought together a mixture of strong industry skills, strong governance and commercial background, with strong Maori credibility too.

		The poll in the Dominion Post this morning showing Labour’s Marian Hobbs with a commanding 16-point lead over former Wellington Mayor and National Candidate Mark Blumsky should come as a big surprise.
		In 2002, a much lesser known National Candidate, Hekia Parata, got within 12% of Ms Hobbs in a year when National had its worst election result ever.
		I suspect that part of the reason is that many Green voters have swung in behind Ms Hobbs.

		In November 1997 the Coalition Government of National and New Zealand First held a Conference on Population at Te Papa.
		Ian Poole of Waikato University and Ms Hekia Parata, presented some interesting papers.
		One of the significant pieces of information I gleaned from that conference was that today a graph showing the demographic shape of the Maori population looks roughly like a pyramid.

	Naked in Nuhaka \| Climate Change
		This was at the heart of the meltdown of Maori leadership within the National Party.
		Maori National MP Georgina Te Heu Heu has been ungraciously shuffled to the sidelines for her well-founded disgruntlement, along with the skeleton Maori leadership of intellectuals Hekia Parata and Wira Gardiner.
		Brash's use of naive quotes by Sir Apirana Ngata in 1940 stating that that "in the whole world it was unlikely that any 'native' race had been as well treated by settlers as Maori" displays self-selected viewpoints that only serve to highlight his myopia.

		Hobbs won the seat 14,906 to 10,725 over National’s last much fancied Wellington Central candidate, Hekia Parata.
		Franks was a weak fourth: the 2,824 votes he netted in 2002 wouldn’t have been enough to get Parata over the line.
		What the DomPost should be asking is what Green voters are gonna do.

		National's Mrs te Heuheu sided with the Prime Minister: she said her own leader's speech was "divisive" and "unlikely to help return the party to government".
		Next on National's list, Treaty consultant Hekia Parata, declared herself "ashamed" of Don Brash's speech.
		The Herald editorialised that, "Frankly, we would have hoped for a larger vision on this issue from one who aspires to national leadership".

		The problem is that just as greater diversity has led to accusations of division in our society so too will his effort to mould us into his vision of one “South Seas race”.
		To say, for example, that there is no such thing as a Maori is to lose touch with the real world as National Party candidate Hekia Parata pointed out in her retort to Brash.
		She is Maori and she exists — get used to it.

	Public Address \| Poll Dancer
		The way National's gap disappeared certainly put a damper on things, but their minds were focused on their humiliating defeat in Wellington - Hobbs beat Blumsky by 5,000 votes.
		It's a massive margin, and it was even bigger than the margin by which Hekia Parata (who?) lost by last time, while they're in an election with a massive swing towards National and with a high-profile candidate like Blumsky.
		Recriminations were already being quietly circulated, blaming a poorly run campaign - with campaign manager David Farrar himself coping the bulk of the back-stabbing.

		National struggled to win second place in the Maori electorates as Labour candidates outpolled their opponents by thousands.
		Boagite Hekia Parata failed to make it into Parliament, polling over 3,000 votes behind Marian Hobbs in Wellington Central.
		In the next Parliament Labour can boast 8 Maori MPs while National will continue to promote ineffectual Georgina teHuehue as the party’s sole Maori MP.
