Tue 9 Sep 2025. Special: Maori Wards Referendum

Voting in the 2025 local body elections has opened, and most New Zealanders will be asked to tick yay or nay, yes or no, to their regional council establishing a Maori Ward.  Andrew Urquhart hosts a panel of special guests who bring their personal and professional experience to the discussion - Councillor Te Waka McLeod, Te Karere Scarborough (ihorangi.ac.nz), and Dr Bonnie Robinson (salvationarmy.org.nz) explain why they believe Maori Wards will mean fair representation and progress in New Zealand's democratic process.
