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.
