Episode 11: State of the Māori Nation
Labour recently held a Māori strategic planning retreat in Auckland, during which they presented the State of the Māori Nation. This event was a pivotal moment for the party as it sought to address key issues facing Māori communities and outline strategic priorities for the future. The atmosphere was charged with anticipation and a sense of purpose as Labour MPs and members gathered to hear the presentation.
There is a one-on-one interview with former Prime Minister Chris Hipkins. The interview was conducted by Matthew Tukaki, with the question line crafted by me. This was an exciting opportunity to delve into Hipkin’s thoughts and perspectives on matters of importance to Māori. His insights will provide valuable context and direction for Labour’s Māori strategy.
I took the initiative to canvass the conference room, engaging with various Labour MPs and members to capture their reactions to the speech.
Whakarongo mai.
