There’s been a lot of controversy around Maori Television lately with accusations that Maori Party MP Te Ururoa Flavell intefered with and was involved in the calling off of a political debate.
There has also been an exodus of Maori TV journalists.
Native Affairs has often been an interesting look at Maori orientated politics. Tonight the debate that was supposedly called off will air – 8.30 pm on Maori Television.
So it’s my last show. Thought I’d invite some politicians on and talk about some controversial stuff
The promo says:
On Native Affairs we host our first political debate of 2015. Our leading Maori politicians are live in studio to discuss all the big issues.
Whanau Ora. Kohanga Reo. First right of refusal. And Maori land.
I believe that Te Ururoa Flavell will be there as well as Metiria Turei (Greens), Winston Peters (NZ First) and Alfred Ngaro (National).

/ 29th June 2015I’m looking forward to this.. we might actually hear what ‘whanau ora’ is really trying to achieve, beyond a vague string of rhetoric
