Jason Walls: Political Editor says Te Pati Māori's protest sets the stage for their party's role over the next three years
from Early Edition with Ryan Bridge · host Newstalk ZB
Te Pati Māori's challenge to the incoming Government has been heard loud and clear, likely foreshadowing what is to come. Thousands answered the party's call to protest the Government's incoming Treaty and Te Reo reforms yesterday, while MPs swore allegiance to both their mokopuna and Te Tiriti, as well as King Charles III. ZB Political Editor Jason Walls told Tim Dower that it sets the stage for the sort of party Te Pati Māori is going to be for the next three years. Walls says the party's positioning themselves as a thorn in the Governments side on all Māori issues. But he says it's fair of Prime Minister Chris Luxon to question why there are protests only a week into their first term. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
