Helmut Modlik: Te Rūnanga O Toa Rangatira Chief Executive on fractures within Te Pati Māori
Published 5 months, 3 weeks ago
Description
An iwi leader says fractures within Te Pāti Māori are unhelpful for Māori political goals.
Te Pāti Māori's National Council has opted to expel Mariameno Kapa-Kingi and Takuta Ferris from the party.
Both have labelled the expulsion unconstitutional and will sit as Independent MPs for now.
Te Rūnanga O Toa Rangatira Chief Executive Helmut Modlik told Ryan Bridge this is distracting for more important issues.
He says there needs to be a focus on getting this current Government out because of its harmful policies toward Māori.
