Helen Clark and the Māori Council have spoken out against international media for describing Foreign Minister Nanaia Mahuta as a "tattooed Maori woman" and fixating on her appearance. 

Māori Council executive chairman Matthew Tukaki said it was a "disgrace" that Mahuta, the first woman and wāhine Māori to become New Zealand's Foreign Minister, had been subjected to "offensive" headlines overseas.
