Tukoroirangi "Tuku" Morgan (born 1958) 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.〔 ==Member of Parliament== Morgan was first elected to Parliament in the 1996 elections as the New Zealand First MP for Te Tai Hauāuru. New Zealand First captured all five Māori seats in the 1996 election (including Te Tai Hauāuru) - Morgan and the other four Māori MPs became known as the Tight Five.〔 In the 1999 elections, Morgan was ranked second on Mauri Pacific's party list, and contested the Te Tai Hauāuru seat again, but was not returned to Parliament. He then returned to TV and film production. In 2015 he became the Māori Party's co-chair of the Hauraki-Waikato electorate.〔(Maori Party weigh in on Labour's reshuffle ) ''nzherald.co.nz'', 1 December 2015〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tuku Morgan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
