Cabinet Ministers Kelvin Davis and Willie Jackon were on board a flight from Wellington to Auckland that turned around because of a medical emergency today.
As a result, Mr Davis, the Minister for Crown/Maori Affairs, and Mr Jackson, Minister of Employment have had to delay an announcement in South Auckland that was scheduled for 9am.
The pair was making a post-budget announcement at Te Kura Māori o Ngā Tapuwae school in Mangere East.
Waiariki MP Tamati Coffey, Northland-based MP Willow-Jean Prime and Māngere MP and Minister for Pacific Peoples Aupito William Sio were also scheduled to attend.
