“On behalf of New Zealand First and its leader Rt Hon Winston Peters, it is with deepest regret that I acknowledge the passing of Rotorua’s treasured Beatrice Piatarihi Tui Yates (nee Grant), most fondly known as ‘Aunty Bea’,” New Zealand First Deputy Leader Fletcher Tabuteau says.

“She will be greatly missed.”
