Show Notes

ACT's leader doesn't want the Waitangi Trust to face financial repercussions following an intense day at the Treaty grounds.

New Zealand First MP Shane Jones made threatening sounds about Trust funding, after describing some people's behaviour today as a 'circus'.

David Seymour had his microphone taken away twice during his speech - but he says the Trust puts a huge effort into the day.

"It's not them that are ruining it - you know, $10 million to keep the place up to scratch for the whole country, I think we should be a bit wary of blaming them. They're the ones that are trying to make it better."
