Fox bold and fearless
Outgoing Maori Party co-leader Tariana Turia says her successor Marama Fox has the potential to be a great politician.
The new list MP was confirmed as the party’s female co-leader at the its AGM at Mrs Turia’s home marae at Whangaehu on the weekend.
She says Mrs Fox is bright, bold and fearless.
Now it’s a matter of listening to the people.
"Because sometimes we can begin to think we know what the issues are and we know what to do about them but there is nothing more empowering to our people and our families than to know that we as politicians believe in them and to be honest it's always been my mantra, listen to the people, be led by the people and if Marama does that she will be a great politician because she certainly has the courage to take issues head on," Mrs Turia says.
