TE PĀTI MĀORI NOT RULING OUT WORKING WITH CHRISTOPHER LUXON'S NATIONAL
Te Pāti Māori has left the door open to work with the National Party and its new leader Christopher Luxon.
It's previously explicitly ruled out working with National under former leaders Judith Collins and Todd Muller.
"Truth be known, I would be more focused on what it is that we need to make sure that anyone that works with us, shares the same values and vision.
"Whether it's Labour, ACT, Green or National ... they would have to concede that a tiriti-based government is the way forward. That's really the only answer," Ngarewa-Packer said.

Te Pāti Māori president Che Wilson has previously said it would be a "big deal" for the party to work with National again.

"It kicked us out and so it would have to be a pretty impressive package for us to consider it,'' he said.....
