Horomia is mischief-making

Maori Affairs Minister Parekura Horomia is mischief-making. He is annoyed that, as a Maori, he is not allowed to go to the hui discussing negotiations with National because he is not a Maori Party member.He claims that the Maori Party is reluctant to include all Maori as part of its consultation process and is shutting some out.

He’s wrong – nobody will be turned away from any hui – Maori or non- Maori. Except media. That is a fact. So Horomia can turn up and scoff all the pies he wants to.
