MĀORI PRIORITIES IN POLICIES FROM LABOUR, NATIONAL, GREENS, ACT, MĀORI PARTY, NZ FIRST
The Herald’s political and specialist reporters examine the big issues facing New Zealand and how the main political parties plan to deal with them. Michael Neilson looks at kaupapa Māori and Te Tiriti o Waitangi policies.
What for many might be classed as the most progressive term in Government for Māori aspirations and upholding Te Tiriti o Waitangi, for others the complete opposite holds true.

All parties on track to enter Parliament agree enormous inequities still face Māori, all are outraged by those facts and all parties agree with addressing breaches of the country’s founding document, Te Tiriti o Waitangi.
But ideas are vastly different about how to address the inequities, and even what is behind them......
