DIPLOMATIC STATUS SHOULD BE GIVEN TO KĪNGI TUHEITIA: RAWIRI WAITITI, TE PĀTI MĀORITe Pāti Māori co-leader Rawiri Waititi has called for the government to formally recognise the mana and status of the Māori King, Kīngi Tuheitia. Waititi said he wanted the Māori King to receive the “keys to the country” and to enjoy the same diplomatic rights that King Charles has as a sovereign in the UK and during visits to Aotearoa New Zealand.
