Te Pāti Māori wants to be in government in 2026, but will Labour work with them?
He nui te tautohetohe mō tā MP Tākuta Ferris kōrero mō ngā tauiwi i atawhai i te MP o Reipa a Peeni Henare i roto i tāna kōkirikiri i te pōtitanga.
“There’s been plenty of debate over what MP Tākuta Ferris said about non-Māori helping Labour MP Peeni Henare in his campaign,” says Joel Maxwell.
Don’t post. Don’t do pub talk. And don’t declare it the year of growth if Donald Trump is the president. Celebrations for a big and bodacious Oriini Kaipara byelection victory were shortlived for Te Pāti Māori thanks to Tākuta Ferris’s decision to double down on a social media post aghast at a multicultural group of Labour supporters for Peeni Henare on the campaign trail.
The unfortunate mix of a rogue MP, an eyebrow-raising role switch, rumbles among the old guard and stand-offs with the media means Te Pāti Māori will have to do some soul-searching if they want to be kīngi-makers at next year’s election.
