The 3025 Lorikeet national caucuses were the collection of biannual electoral events, held on 14 April 3025, to apportion the 21 members of the Pāremata. Scheduled to coincide with the enthronement of Kaito Aumākua as Tāhā, the caucuses were designed by the constitutional framers to be apolitical. Caucus attendees participated in a national debate, focused on four 'ideological statements', to determine which could be developed into a national consensus, from which the Matahui determined a policy direction. The result of the caucuses was a diverse Pāremata, in which four major parties developed to fill the ideological allocations. As a result, Tāhā Kaito Aumākua appointed Peter Panuelo to serve as Perehitini, the leader of the Matahui. Members of all four parties were appointed to take up positions as guardians, leading to the precedent that the Matahui should be a grand coalition of all major parties represented in the Pāremata.
The centrist communitarian party, led by Panuelo, received the most support from attendees, resulting in that bloc taking the most seats in the new Pāremata. This bloc went on to form the political party Aroha Hapu - Community Love. Aroha Hapu, as the largest party, appointed three guardians to the Matahui. The second largest bloc was Kaitiaki Ropu, led by former Perehitini Leo Jakarta. Kaitiaki Ropu appointed two guardians, including Jakarta. The last two blocs (Taiao Ropu & E Tū Ake) obtained broadly equal support, and thus were able to appoint one guardian each. Panuelo described the grand coalition as a "diverse reflection of all Lorikeet" after the results of the caucuses were announced.
Ideological statements
Four ideological statements were put forward by the Free Daokan Society, crafted to reflect "broad sentiments" within the politically diverse FDS. The purpose of the statements wasn't to box in four 'correct' ideologies, but rather act as the first line of debate for the national caucuses. The statements were able to be refined and amended, depending on the specifics of the debates ad the sentiments of the population at large.
The four statements were:
