Children's Minister Kelvin Davis says outgoing Oranga Tamariki boss Grainne Moss "had her critics" but wasn't pressured to resign.
Moss had been facing increasing pressure to step down after more than a year of intense criticism and public outrage over Oranga Tamariki's uplifts of Māori children.
It came after Newsroom in 2019 documented the process of Oranga Tamariki attempting to uplift a one-week-old infant from its young mother in Hawke's Bay.
More recently, Newsroom followed four children as they were shifted to live with wider whānau and taken from the pākehā family Oranga Tamariki had originally placed them with - a reverse uplift.
