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.
