Chris Hipkins: Labour Leader on Te Pati Māori, housing intensification, sewage

Labour's leader says Te Pati Māori should focus on the issues most New Zealanders care about.   Parliament last week voted to hand down the harshest suspensions in history to three MPs over a haka performed during the Treaty Principles Bill vote.    Labour's Willie Jackson and Adrian Rurawhe argued the punishments were too harsh, but also suggested the Party could compromise or say sorry.   Chris Hipkins told John MacDonald housing, health, and education are the main things Māori around the country raise with him.  He says that Te Pati Māori made their point around the haka, but he thinks people want to see them get back to debating the big issues now.   LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
