CHRIS HIPKINS ADDRESSES THE ELEPHANT IN THE ELECTION - BY MĀORI FOR MĀORI SOLUTIONS
At Ngā Whare Waatea Marae in South Auckland yesterday Hipkins said New Zealanders would not put up with divisive race politics.

“A country divided is not our future. Because we are strongest when we are together.”
“The Treaty relationship has strengthened significantly in the last six years, but there’s always more to do.”.....
