Show Notes
Auckland Council has voted down introducing Māori seats for the 2025 local body elections, after a tense debate today.
Councillors voted 11 to 9 against the decision.
Auckland Councillor Alf Filipaina has expressed disappointment with this rejection.
"This was about establishing Māori wards for 2025. The argument was a non-argument, because that work is getting done anyway- and it doesn't need to get completed until later on."
