NORTHERN IWI HAVE NUMBERS
Northland Māori have come up trumps post-election with a record nine members from Northland iwi.
Three new members join six who retained their seats and, once coalition talks are complete, they will know which side of the house they will be sitting on.
Hailing from Ngāpuhi, Ngāti Wai and the Hokianga, New Zealand First's newest MP Jenny Macroft joins her not-so-new colleague Shane Jones from Te Aupouri, Ngāi Takoto and Ngāti Kahu.
Labour welcomes Willow Jean-Prime of Ngāti Hine and Ngāpuhi.
They join Winston Peters, National's Shane Reti, Labour's Peeni Henare, Kelvin Davis, the Green's Marama Davidson and Act's David Seymour.....
