Hon Koro Wetere is a fluent speaker of Māori, and has an extensive background in farming and land management. He has been involved with Tainui business management and has held several directorships of Tainui subsidiaries. He is currently a Director of Tainui Group Holdings Ltd.
He is a former Labour MP and was Minister of Māori Affairs from 1984-1990. He also held ministerial portfolios in Valuations, Lands and Forests. As Minister of Māori Affairs he was involved in the preparation of the Māori Fisheries Act 1989, along with the negotiations that led to the establishment of the interim Māori Fisheries Commission.
Koro believes Māori have to look at the assets of the 1992 Māori Fisheries Settlement as a commercial opportunity that Māori need to make the most of.
