Karen Chhour is acknowledging the Court of Appeal overturning the decision which blocked her from the Waitangi Tribunal summons.
The decision rejected a High Court ruling, which had found the Children's Minister did not have to front with her reasoning for removing Section 7AA from the Oranga Tamariki Act.
Chhour told Mike Hosking that she listened to issues in the community, campaigned on it, and the removal is part of her promise to make real change.
She says she didn't realise it would receive so much attention, but it's good it's sparked a conversation.
