Who is Tuku Morgan?
Tukoroirangi "Tuku" Morgan is a New Zealand Māori politician. He was chair of Te Arataura, the Waikato-Tainui executive board, from 2006 until 2012, except for a period in 2004 when he was removed from office because of a criminal conviction for obstructing police during a protest march in the 1980s. He is a director of Auckland Council Property, a council-controlled organisation of the Auckland Council.
Morgan was a Member of Parliament from 1996 to 1999, first with the New Zealand First party, then as an independent, and finally as a member of Mauri Pacific. During his term in Parliament he was involved in a number of controversies. One scandal in 1997 revolved around his spending NZ$4000 of Aotearoa Television funds on clothes including a pair of $89 underpants.
Prior to entering Parliament, he was a television broadcaster. His brother-in-law Tau Henare is also a politician, and was a member of New Zealand First and Mauri Pacific with Morgan.
